This is a petition to show everyone that we need better security for bus terminals and train stations in Canada. Airports have a large amount of security...so why are trains and buses any different This past week a young man named Tim McLean was killed in a horrific tragedy onboard a Greyhound bus here in Canada because a man with a hunting knife walked freely on the bus. The man then out of the blue and with no warning stood up and attacked poor Tim in his sleep, and after using the knife multiple times, decapitated this poor victim. If we had better security for buses or trains there is a good chance this may not have happened and Tim may have still been here with us. We need security guards with wands checking passengers before they board the bus or train, or even have a metal detector like at the airport that you have to walk thru in order to get onboard, or an x-ray machine. Anything is better then nothing. Lets not let another rare but tragic event like this happen again...PLEASE sign this petition and lets show the government that they need to pass a law saying train stations and bus terminals MUST have some kind of security. Its for your safety and mine.

I am honestly overwhelmed by the momentum this is gathering. Seeing so many people care about this issue reminds me that we are in this together. This movement belongs to all of you who refuse to look away.

I checked the count this morning and saw that one thousand people have added their names to this call for change. It is honestly overwhelming to see this much support for something I started in a moment of pure frustration. None of this would have happened without you stepping up to show that passenger safety matters.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many of you have joined this effort to keep our transit stations safe. We are getting very near the 1,000 signature mark and I really believe that hitting that figure will show officials that we are serious about these changes. Please spread the word so we can reach that goal together.

This story still makes me cry. I don't feel safe on busses. Not to mention the fact that the murdered gets set free!

Why is this killer still in Canada?? We deport people who are not Canadian born who have done less. Get him out, NOW!! Not fair to Tim's memory & especially not fair to Tim's family. My thoughts & love to the family.

Buses should have better security. I will keep fighting along with others to have this changed. I'll keep signing Petitions to, to keep Tim story alive n fight for his family n the law his family wants.
