The accused was found guilty of dangerous driving, possession of loaded prohibited firearms, and possession of marijuana.
This decision concerns her sentencing.
The Crown sought a custodial sentence of three to four years, while the defence proposed a conditional sentence of two years less a day.
The court considered the seriousness of the offences, the accused's personal circumstances, including systemic racism and a difficult upbringing, and the principles of sentencing, particularly denunciation, deterrence, and rehabilitation.
Applying the principles from R. c.
Morris regarding systemic racism and the availability of conditional sentences, the court imposed a global conditional sentence of two years less a day, followed by 18 months of probation, a lifetime weapons prohibition for certain items and 10 years for others, a DNA order, and forfeiture of seized items.
A fine and driving suspension were also imposed for the Highway Traffic Act offence.
