Law360 Canada ( June 25, 2026, 9:41 AM EDT) -- Appeals by appellant Robertson from convictions and from a global sentence of 17 years’ imprisonment. The appeal arose from two incidents of dangerous driving. The appellant drove dangerously, appeared to lose consciousness, struck barriers on a sidewalk, fled when bystanders attempted to assist, and then led police on a high-speed chase before evading capture. While fleeing police in a residential neighbourhood, the appellant drove at extreme speed, ran traffic controls, and collided with a minivan that had the right-of-way, killing Karolina Ciasullo and her three young daughters. Blood samples taken shortly after the collision showed the appellant had approximately 40 ng/mL of THC in his blood, far exceeding the legal limit of 5 ng/mL. The appellant pleaded guilty to four counts of dangerous driving causing death and was convicted after trial of dangerous driving from June 16. He also faced four counts of operation causing death. The trial judge rejected a s. 8 Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Charter) challenge to the seizure of the blood samples and found a reasonable doubt as to actual impairment but concluded the THC limit was constitutional and entered convictions on the drug-related counts. The appellant appealed his convictions, renewing his s. 7 Charter challenge and arguing the 5 ng/mL THC limit was arbitrary and overbroad because it could capture drivers who were not impaired, relying on hypothetical scenarios. He also appealed sentence, submitting that the 17‑year term was demonstrably unfit when compared with other multi‑fatality driving cases....
