148. The École Polytechnique Massacre

Gone, But Never Forgotten

On December 6th, 1989 a man would find his way inside of the École Polytechnique, on the campus of The University of Montreal, and he would take the lives of fourteen women and he would also injure ten more women and four men.
The shooter, known as Marc Lépine was driven by hatred towards feminists and feminism as well as the mere thought of women attempting to achieve jobs in what he considered to be male dominated and male DESERVED fields.
Over the years people have argued about what his real motive is, but the reality is that his own words laid out quite succinctly what he was doing and what his plans were on December 6th.
December 6th is now recognized in Canada as The National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in honour of these fourteen women and everyone else that endured the trauma of that day.
