McLean was returning home from a job in Edmonton when he was stabbed to death by a fellow passenger aboard the bus about 8:30 p.m.
The family will sell the items at a rally in Brandon on Friday. The items are made by Speer and her husband, who operate a promotional product business in Winnipeg. McLean's family is selling T-shirts, buttons and fridge magnets to support its effort to press the government for the legislation. 'We want there to be more provided to protect the victim and not the guilty person.' On July 30, 2008, Tim McLean boarded Greyhound bus 1170, bound for Winnipeg, Canada. 'I don't know what the outcome is going to be, but we want to inspire Tim's law to become a reality, to make sure that his life isn't wasted,' said McLean's aunt Paulette Speer. In 2008, Vince Li killed Tim McLean aboard a Greyhound bus in Canada and ate from his corpse. It would mean that the most violent, unpredictable people who have committed a crime would face incarceration for life, with no possibility of parole. The proposed legislation would prevent a person found not criminally responsible of a crime from being released into the community. His mom, Carol deDelley, has said Tim's law would put the rights of a victim of crime ahead of those of the perpetrator.
McLean, 22, was brutally killed aboard a Greyhound bus last July near Portage la Prairie. Tim McLean is seen in this undated photo with the daughter of his friend William Caron.
