The court accepted the joint five‑year federal sentence because, applying Anthony‑Cook, the joint submission was on balance fit and not contrary to the public interest given the offender's extensive record, the aggravating facts of the instant offences, the Gladue report mitigation, and the agreed enhanced credit for pre‑sentence custody.

Balancing denunciation, deterrence and protection of the public with rehabilitation, the court imposed 8 years 6 months (rounded to 3,100 days) on the robbery conviction, granted a conditional stay on the assault (Kienapple), credited pre-sentence custody at 1.5:1 (948 days served = 1,422 days credit) leaving 1,678 days to be served; imposed DNA sampling authorization, lifetime weapons prohibition and a no-contact order while in custody.

The offender's conduct—intentionally driving at the victim at high speed for approximately 10 seconds, using the car as a weapon in the context of an acrimonious intimate relationship, compounded by substance misuse, lack of insight and high risk of reoffending—placed her at the high end of moral blameworthiness (near murder).

The application to assign counsel under s.684(1) was granted because the appeal raises arguable issues of mixed fact and law (notably whether s.727(1) notice was provided and whether a s.110 prohibition qualifies as a prior conviction under s.109(3)), the existing record is unclear on key factual and legal questions, and the applicant lacks the financial means to retain counsel; these factors make it desirable in the interests of justice that counsel be assigned.
