Magalhaes said she feels it is important to speak out about the senseless violence on the TTC. She said she said she hopes officials can hear the pain in her voice and she wants them to imagine "it is your child that could be murdered on the subway" when they are making decisions about whether public services deserve funding.

"I am hoping that people will raise their voices so we can be heard. More needs to be done to help people in crisis. More needs to be done so that people don't get to the point where they are in crisis," she said.

"We need more social services. We need more investment into physical and mental health. We need more supports for housing. I feel like, as things go the way they are going right now, so many people are going to be suffering the horrible pain that I am going through right now."
