Wife of Canadian senator arrested after disturbance on Saskatoon-bound plane
SASKATOON — The 23-year-old wife of a Canadian senator appeared dishevelled and emotional as she sat in the prisoner’s box of a provincial courtroom in Saskatoon on Friday morning.Maygan Sensenberger, who married 69-year-old Senator Rod Zimmer of Winnipeg almost one year ago in Ottawa, is charged with causing a public disturbance and endangering the safety of an aircraft by committing an act of violence during a flight.
City police said they were called to Saskatoon’s John G. Diefenbaker Airport around 8 p.m. Thursday night to deal with a passenger on an incoming flight who was causing a disturbance. Officers took Sensenberger into custody once the plane landed and passengers disembarked. No one was injured.
She is accused of threatening to kill her husband and “take down the aircraft,” as well as causing a disturbance by screaming and yelling on the Air Canada flight from Ontario, a Crown prosecutor said during her arraignment Friday.
Sensenberger was remanded in custody for the weekend and is expected to make a second court appearance on Monday — their first wedding anniversary.
Born in Kuroki, Sask., Zimmer received a commerce degree from the University of Saskatchewan in 1973 and served as vice-president of corporate communications for CanWest Capital Corporation from 1979 to 1983.
According to his official parliamentary biography, Zimmer is “one of Winnipeg’s most recognized community leaders.”
He has served in the past as vice-president of marketing and communications for the Manitoba Lotteries Foundation, as president of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, and as a member of the board of directors for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
Zimmer sits on the boards of directors for the Canadian Paralympic Foundation, the Burton Cummings Theatre, the Millennium Centre, Canadian Unity Council (Manitoba) and Craig Wireless Systems.
A member and fundraiser for the federal Liberal Party, he was appointed to the Senate by former prime minister Paul Martin in 2005.
