“The increase in violence is becoming more and more problematic…It’s only a matter of time, unfortunately, before these injuries become catastrophic and start to take lives. We need to act now, not tomorrow, now,” John Di Nino, president of the Amalgamated Transit Union Canada, said in an interview.
With that, he said he has called for the prime minister and premiers to come together to come up with better solutions. In an interview with CP24 on Wednesday, Leary wouldn’t say whether or not he felt the system was safe for workers and riders. At a national level, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the federal government will continue to work with provinces and cities to ensure Canadians are safe when he was asked about transit safety on Tuesday.
