The applicant sought review of a detention order under s. 520 of the Criminal Code after bail was denied on secondary grounds.
He argued the justice of the peace misapplied the Gladue principles and presented a new release plan involving multiple sureties and structured cultural and community activities.
The reviewing judge found the justice of the peace had sufficient evidence regarding the applicant’s Indigenous background and properly considered Gladue factors when assessing detention.
The court further concluded the proposed bail plan lacked meaningful community support and that the proposed sureties minimized or denied the applicant’s extensive violent criminal history.
The application was therefore dismissed and the detention order maintained.
