The Canadian Greyhound Bus Cannibal Hello, friends! Join Jess, Brice, and our special guest Dean around the campfire while Mara takes the reins and tells us about the shocking case of the killing of young Tim McLean. Tim McLean was just 22 years old when he boarded Greyhound bus 1170 bound for Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. On the fateful day of July 30th, 2008, he lost his life to Vince Li. Mara tells us about the stabbing and eventual cannibalism that led to a standoff with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba. Li was finally taken into custody and charged with second-degree murder but he would not be found criminally responsible for the crime due to mental illness. We discuss the profound impact this case had on the passengers of the bus and the family of the victim. Was justice served for McLean and his family? Should Li be able to rejoin society? Listen to the episode and don't forget to give us your thoughts!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Tim_McLeanhttps://web.archive.org/web/20080810005604/http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080805.wbus06/BNStory/National/homechrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/3458881/Manitoba-Criminal-Code-Review-Board-decision.pdfhttps://www.ranker.com/list/facts-about-tim-mclean-greyhound/jen-jeffershttps://nypost.com/2017/02/11/man-who-beheaded-bus-passenger-granted-total-freedom/https://web.archive.org/web/20090315135511/http://www.edmontonjournal.com/Health/Beheader%2Bcriminally%2Bresponsible/1356476/story.htmlhttps://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/greyhound-killer-believed-man-he-beheaded-was-an-alien-1.1131575https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/the-scream-that-haunts-the-forgotten-passengers-of-bus-1170/article1372244/?page=allhttps://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/40-year-old-suspect-held-in-gruesome-manitoba-bus-killing-1.705008https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/greyhound-beheading-10th-anniversary-1.4760074https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/mother-of-tim-mclean-ends-petition-to-change-law-1.2502104https://globalnews.ca/news/1855998/timeline-of-decisions-in-the-case-of-vince-li/

Specifically, the fiasco of the compensation of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce CEO Mr. Gerry McCaughey.We have a quick recap of why the financial mess began with an explanation of Asset Backed Commercial Paper, the fundamental interconnectedness of banks through their assets, (YOUR mortgage DEBT), and finally to the extension of this economic turmoil by not adhering to the basic principle of Western Capitalism: Bad companies making bad business decisions SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO FAIL!All the best, All for you, SUBSCRIBE,SUBSCRIBE, SUBSCRIBE to RadioFreeG!Articles referenced in the show by Sinclair Stewart:“Obama Targets Wall Street Excess”“Canada’s Top bankers Taking Pay Cuts”"END TRANSMISSION"

[Show Notes Link]Direct Download Link | | Direct download link Sorta just started recording this one with only a few notes prepared. I find that allows you to just ramble on when you’re not paying attention. We discuss some current events in the Vancouver area, talk about the Canucks in the Hockey Talk portion, and discover what the rule of “icing” is about in Learning Hockey w/ Uncle John. Towards the end, I also detail my plan about an ongoing idea/feature that I will create for the podcast from now on.

The Vancouver Sun is running a series of articles about podcasting, so I take a moment to share what they are covering and my thoughts about what they have wrote.
