The more we talk about these incidents, the more copycats you will find. This may become the new IN thing to do.

It's not safe to ride the GreyHound buses anymore,damn. Canadians, what's with the violence, you're not Americans. (ha!ha!).

Hmmm…I wonder if the anti-American, pro-Canadian, respondents (like urapig) will sound off and justify THIS attack.

This may be the start of some psycho killing spree, You never know
People these days love to copy what some serial killers have done in the past just to make themselves known.
I find it kind of scary,i mean you never know who your standing next to, you could be talking to some crazy dude for all yah know

I'm in Canada and thank God I fly instead; no bus for me!! The airline security is waaaay safer; I just returned form the Holy Land and you wouldn't believe the security there; we even had armed guards and a police escort on the tour buses in Egypt and Israel!!

When I lived in Alberta my neighboor got shot in his driveway.
Not suprising for having lived in Canada eight years.

Two Greyhound stabbings in two months.
Wow, talk about good security.
RIP Tim McLean.

I live in Winnipeg, and incidents these severe occur next to never. Considering you can sneak just about everything onto a bus, it's a miracle more of these incidents haven't happened.

WTF Canada?!

Its sad, but there is violence everywhere. Saying "wTF Canada…" well look at any other country, say the US, when we have a slow non-viiolent news day, we show a bunch of stuff that has happened there. There is more people there and happens more often. We have less people and when something does happen, they make it sound so huge!

this is just a run-of-the-mill stabbing. it's not like it was a full-on greyhounding this time.

besides if i had to ride on one of those grotty broken-down skanky buses again, i'd be liable to stab someone myself…

Never move to the states alone, with another race, with a gay or lesbien, with your child, with…well just dont move there!

I don't get it. How does this story apply to your site Perez? It was a stabbing, they happen all the time, everywhere, and it was nothing like the last greyhound stabbing. There weren't even any details.

Will you please stop trying to turn this into a real news site. It's never going to happen. We go to real sites for that stuff.

The thing with Canada is that they do not do as many media coverage as the US. Like every time I am watching the American news, they talk about things that cause cancer and the latest shooting in a state. But here in Canada there are people who get stabbed and shot, but the media doesn't cover it the same as the American media. I know that this has been bad event but I believe that there are going to be some actions taken. Hopefully.

Re: i8carrotcake –

I totally agree with you..
I live in Thunder Bay and this took place just 400km from Tbay
Damn and I was going to take the bus next weekend.. guess that won't be happening anymore..

It is definately scarey to see something like this happening so soon after the first major incident.

I live in Portage la Prairie (about 15 minutes from where the beheading happened) and I guess it's just disheartening to see that Greyhound obviously hasn't done a thing to make bus travel safer.

Glad I have a car.

I live in winnipeg, and used to take the bus regularly to brandon to visit family.
after the portage la prairie incident, i stopped taking the bus and trains. And now another stabbing? I probably won't ever take one again. Its so close to home!

I'm really angry about this. Why did the cops put this guy on the bus without escorting him to his destination? And why did the cops put this guy on the bus without frisking him first for weapons. If I was the victim, I would sue the cops for negligence, sue the mental institution for stating that he was "OK to travel and was no threat to others" when obviously he wasn't, and sue Greyhound.

Its been rumored often that cops or other city officials often give undesirables a one way ticket out of town, Good Job Dudes!

I live in Canada and my boyfriend and I moved to a different province. I had to stay in town for an extra day while he moved our stuff and I took the bus the next day. After I arrived (safely) I heard about all these bus attacks on the news. (The one that happened in Manitoba where the guy beheaded another guy) It was kind of scary and I wonder if maybe some of those people could have been at the bus transfer.

i ride the greyhound up here alllll the time. Ya they could add more security, but 2 attacks in 2 months out of…..YEARS of service, think about it. There are way more school shootsings, or road rage shootings in the states then there are stabbings on a grey hound. yes it's bad but the first guy had a mental problem. this guy was put on the bus by police, and violated parole. you can't start telling canadians they are turning into americans there aren't even close to as many violent attacks here

Re: CB1987 – Hmmm…seems like the only one who is saying that Canadians are "turning into Americans"…is YOU.
