If it’s a guy on a street that doesn’t know what he is doing then may be different

In Canada intent still matters for manslaughter, insofar as you have to intend to do an illegal act. It's not murder unless you intend to kill, however (you have to be reckless as to the result).
So if I punch someone in a non-consensual fight and I accidentally kill them I intended an illegal act (assault) and was reckless as to the damage it causes.
