Law360 Canada ( October 13, 2026, 9:37 AM EDT) -- Appeal by appellant from his sentence for two robberies, two attempted robberies and related offences. Over five days, the appellant robbed two Calgary pubs and attempted to rob two others while masked and brandishing a realistic imitation handgun. He obtained $7,450 from the completed robberies, and during the final attempted robbery struck a staff member several times. He later breached release conditions by failing to report and failing to attend court. The appellant pleaded guilty. He suffered childhood abuse, experienced mental health issues and struggled with cocaine addiction, but no formal mental health diagnosis or detailed addiction evidence was before the sentencing judge. He was sentenced to 2,790 days’ imprisonment before presentence credit, with several sentences imposed consecutively. The appellant argued that the sentencing judge erred by imposing consecutive sentences rather than treating the offences as a spree, imposed a demonstrably unfit global sentence compared with similar cases, inadequately considered his personal circumstances, and double counted his use of a mask and imitation firearm by treating them as aggravating factors while separately imposing consecutive sentences for those offences....
