You're right. And while not quite explicit in that article, I had read a lot of the no-shows were Indigenous. Which really is somewhat understandable in the sense they live so far away, many don't have transport, and rightfully-or-wrongfully probably felt disenfranchised with the Canadian justice system.
45 minutes to and from the courthouse is nothing. Hell, I live inside Calgary city limits and it takes me that long (or longer, I've spent over an hour getting there) to get to and from the Courthouse. If it matters to you, you make it happen and you do it.

And 12 Challenges out of the 204 that showed up is still a very small fraction.
