#Polytechnique Montréal

[good-night-dodger]

On December 6, 1989, a man entered a mechanical engineering classroom at Montreal’s École Polytechnique with a semi automatic weapon. Separating women and men, he shot the women, screaming “You are all feminists”. 14 women were murdered. They died simply because they were women.

"And I also know that the possibility that something like Polytechnique, it can happen again,” Provost said, tearing up.

Canada-Haïti : Olson Italis décroche son doctorat en bidiplomation

D’ores et déjà, Monsieur Olson Italis fait partie des rares haïtiens bénéficiant le système mondial de bidiplomation au niveau du troisième cycle universitaire (doctorat). Ce faisant, la soutenance de sa thèse donne lieu à deux diplômes : l’un dans une université canadienne et l’autre dans une université haïtienne. Pour la petite histoire, la bidiplomation est très courante dans les pays…

Marc LÉPINE, born Gamil Rodrigue LIASS GHARBI, was an Arab and Muslim man.

Born in October 26, 1964, he is a Canadian mass murderer from Montreal, Quebec. On December 6, 1989 (35 years ago tomorrow) , he murdered fourteen (14) women, and wounded another ten (10) women and four (4) men in what is known as the École Polytechnique massacre. It took place at the École Polytechnique de Montréal, an engineering school affiliated with the Université de Montréal.

LÉPINE WAS THE SON of French Canadian nurse Monique Lépine and ALGERIAN (i.e. ARAB & MUSLIM) businessman Rachid Gharbi, WHO WAS ABUSIVE TOWARDS AND CONTEMPTUOUS OF WOMEN.

Let me reiterate that:

***LÉPINE WAS THE SON OF ALGERIAN (i.e. ARAB & MUSLIM) businessman RACHID GHARBI, WHO WAS ABUSIVE TOWARDS AND CONTEMPTUOUS OF WOMEN.***

So. Lépine had been raised from birth in a familial climate of hatred towards women. He was a loner, a loser and - incidentally - an InCel, which i think is important. Marc LÉPINE a.k.a Gamil GHARBI WAS NOT THE PRODUCT OF QUÉBEC SOCIETY AT THE TIME, he was the result of having been raised A MUSLIM WHO also DETESTED WOMEN FANATICALLY because of the noxious influence of his abusive, female-hating father.

ONE MAN (out of 3 million Québec males at the time). ONE GUN. ONE NIGHT. ONE CONTEXT.

I PERSONALLY OBJECT TO THE FETISHISIZING AND CONTINUED COMMEMORATION - STILL, THIRTY-FIVE (35!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) YEARS LATER. A MONUMENT IS WARRANTED, A PLACE NAMED AFTER THE POLTECHNQUE MASSACRE IS ALSO FINE, THE COMMEMORATION BY FAMILIES & FRIENDS OF THE VICTIMS IS NORMAL. WHAT ISN'T NORMAL IS THE ELEVATION OF THIS ONE SINGULAR EVENT TO PAINT A PORTRAIT OF ALL MEN AS 1- WOMEN HATERS; 2- MASS MURDERER; 3- LOSERS; 4- LONERS; 5- INCELS; & 6- PROBABLY ALSO INSANE, TO HAVE DONE WHAT HE DID - killing women "BECAUSE THEY WERE FEMINISTS, NOT because THEY WERE WOMEN.

Marc LÉPINE DID WHAT HE DID ***ALSO BECAUSE HE WAS AN ARAB -AND- THE SON OF AN ABUSIVE MUSLIM MAN***.

WHAT THIS MASSACRE IS CALLED IS A "FEMINISTICIDE", NOT A "FEMINICIDE".

AND ***CONJUGAL MURDERS OF WOMEN BY INTIMATE PARTNERS ARE NOT FEMINICIDES EITHER*** - IF THE MURDEROUS MEN HAD BEEN HOMOSEXUALS, THEY WOULD HAVE KILLED THEIR MALE PARTNERS, THEREFORE IT IS CALLED A "HOMICIDE" & ***CONJUGAL MURDERS ARE HOMICIDES ALSO - THE VICTIM SIMPLY HAPPENS TO BE A WOMAN OR GIRL*** - ***THEY WERE CERTAINLY NOT KILLED BECAUSE THEY WERE WOMEN. ONLY Marc LÉPINE'S VICTIMS WERE VICTIMS OF FEMINICIDES, OR RATHER OF FEMINISTICIDEST***

IT'S A FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE OF VIEW.

IT WAS AN ACT OF "DOMESTIC TERRORISM" -AND- OF "ISLAMIST TERRORISM" AS WELL AS A MASSACRE OF WOMEN, BECAUSE THEY WERE FEMINISTS.

& I BELIEVE SYSTEMATICALLY TOUTING (CONJUGAL) MURDERS OF GIRLS OR WOMEN AS "FEMINICIDES" IS WRONG, ABUSIVE & DENIGRATES THE VICTIM STATUS OF THE POLYTECHNIQUE 14 - btw, there were also male victims (4 injured, and a couple that committed suicide as a direct result of December 6th, 2024)...

On the 35th anniversary of The École Polytechnique massacre never forget the 14 women who were killed for being women in science

The École Polytechnique massacre (French: tuerie de l'École polytechnique), also known as the Montreal massacre, was an antifeminist mass shooting that occurred on December 6, 1989 at the École Polytechnique de Montréal in Montreal, Quebec. Fourteen women were murdered; another ten women and four men were injured.

Perpetrator Marc Lépine, armed with a legally obtained Ruger Mini-14 semi-automatic rifle and hunting knife, entered a mechanical engineering class at the École Polytechnique. He ordered the women to one side of the classroom, and instructed the men to leave. After claiming that he was "fighting feminism", he shot all nine women in the room, killing six. The shooter then moved through corridors, the cafeteria, and another classroom, specifically targeting women, for just under 20 minutes. He killed eight more women before ending his own life. In total, 14 women were killed, and 14 others were injured.

The massacre is now widely regarded as an anti-feminist attack and representative of wider societal violence against women; the anniversary of the massacre is commemorated as the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. After the attack, Canadians debated various interpretations of the events, their significance, and the shooter's motives. Other interpretations emphasized the shooter's abuse as a child or suggested that the massacre was the isolated act of a madman, unrelated to larger social issues

The incident led to more stringent gun control laws in Canada, and increased action to end violence against women. It also resulted in changes in emergency services protocols to shootings, including immediate, active intervention by police. These changes were later credited with minimizing casualties during incidents in Montreal and elsewhere. The massacre remained the deadliest mass shooting in Canada until the 2020 Nova Scotia attacks over 30 years later.[4]

Timeline

Sometime after 4 p.m. on December 6, 1989, Marc Lépine arrived at the building housing the École Polytechnique, an engineering school affiliated with the Université de Montréal, armed with a Ruger Mini-14 rifle and a hunting knife.[5] He had purchased the gun less than a month earlier on November 21 in a Checkmate Sports store in Montreal. He had told the clerk that he was going to use it to hunt small game.[6] He had been in and around the École Polytechnique building at least seven times in the weeks leading up to December 6.[5]

The perpetrator first sat in the office of the registrar on the second floor for a while, where he was seen rummaging through a plastic bag. He did not speak to anyone, even when a staff member asked if she could help him.[2] He then left the office and was seen in other parts of the building before entering a second-floor mechanical engineering class of about sixty students at about 5:10 p.m.[7] After approaching the student giving a presentation, he asked everyone to stop everything and ordered the women and men to opposite sides of the classroom. No one moved at first, believing it to be a joke until he fired a shot into the ceiling.[8][9]

Lépine then separated the nine women from the approximately fifty men and ordered the men to leave.[10][9] He asked the women whether they knew why they were there; instead of replying, a student asked who he was. He answered that he was fighting feminism.[9][11] One of the students, Nathalie Provost, protested that they were women studying engineering, not feminists fighting against men or marching to prove that they were better. He responded by opening fire on the students from left to right, killing six—Hélène Colgan, Nathalie Croteau, Barbara Daigneault, Anne-Marie Lemay, Sonia Pelletier, and Annie St-Arneault—and wounding three others, including Provost.[9][11] Before leaving the room, he wrote the word "shit" twice on a student project.[10]

The gunman continued into the second-floor corridor and wounded three students before entering another room where he twice attempted to shoot a female student. When his weapon failed to fire, he entered the emergency staircase where he was seen reloading his gun. He returned to the room he had just left, but the students had locked the door; he failed to unlock it with three shots fired into the door. Moving along the corridor, he shot at others, wounding one, before moving towards the financial services office, where he shot and killed Maryse Laganière through the window of the door she had just locked.[12][11]

The perpetrator next went down to the first-floor cafeteria, in which about 100 people were gathered. He shot nursing student Barbara Maria Klucznick near the kitchens and wounded another student, and the crowd scattered. Entering an unlocked storage area at the end of the cafeteria, the gunman shot and killed Anne-Marie Edward and Geneviève Bergeron, who were hiding there. He told a male and female student to come out from under a table; they complied and were not shot.[13]: 30 [11]

The shooter then walked up an escalator to the third floor where he shot and wounded one female and two male students in the corridor. He entered another classroom and told the men to "get out", shooting and wounding Maryse Leclair, who was standing on the low platform at the front of the classroom, giving a presentation.[13]: 26–27  He fired on students in the front row and then killed Maud Haviernick and Michèle Richard who were trying to escape the room, while other students dived under their desks.[11][13]: 30–31  The killer moved towards some of the female students, wounding three of them and killing Annie Turcotte. He changed the magazine in his weapon and moved to the front of the class, shooting in all directions. At this point, the wounded Leclair asked for help; the gunman unsheathed his hunting knife and stabbed her three times, killing her. He took off his cap, wrapped his coat around his rifle, exclaimed, "Oh shit", and then killed himself with a shot to the head, 20 minutes after having begun his attack.[14][13]: 31–32  About 60 unfired cartridges remained in the boxes he carried with him.[14][13]: 26–27 

After briefing reporters outside, Montreal Police director of public relations Pierre Leclair entered the building and found his daughter Maryse's stabbed body.[15][16]

The Quebec and Montreal governments declared three days of mourning.[15] A joint funeral for nine of the women was held at Notre-Dame Basilica on December 11, 1989, and was attended by Governor General Jeanne Sauvé, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, Quebec premier Robert Bourassa, and Montreal mayor Jean Doré, along with thousands of other mourners.

National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women

National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women is observed in Canada on December 6 each year. Informally called White Ribbon Day, the day marks the anniversary of the École Polytechnique massacre in 1989. As we reflect on the act of senseless violence that claimed the lives of 14 women, we emphasize our dedication to fighting the hatred that inspired the tragedy.

History of National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women

The National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in Canada honors victims of gender-based violence and those who have died because of it. It is also an opportunity to act and do our part to create a better world. We can overcome gender-based violence by reflecting and learning from the past, relating to survivors, and speaking against violent behavior.

The Canadian Parliament established the day in 1991 to commemorate the 1989 massacre at Polytechnique Montréal, previously École Polytechnique de Montréal. As we mourn the deaths, we must also remember all those who continue to be victims of gender-based violence. Canadians have constructed memorial sites throughout the country in response to the tragedy, ensuring that people are aware of the events, making society aware of how frequently violence against women occurs, and honoring the lives of those who have been killed.

Every act of violence against women is motivated by a perception that women are less human than males. As a result, the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women commemorates more than one massacre. It is a call for awareness and change in the face of male violence against women worldwide. According to the United Nations, 35% of women are victims of some form of sexual and physical violence inflicted by an intimate partner or non-partner. This day serves as a reminder of the danger of the power imbalance between men and women worldwide and that we have a responsibility to do something about it.

They Died Because They Were Women

December 6th is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in Canada. Established in 1991 by the Parliament of Canada this day marks the anniversary of the murders in 1989 of 14 young women who were engineering students at l'École Polytechnique de Montréal. Their killer was a violent misogynist as is evidenced in his ranting.

We must never forget. They died because they were women.

Every year I make a social media post of remembrance, but for some this year it is seemingly being censored. Maybe there is a word or phrase that the bots don't like? So I have decided to share my thoughts, remembrance, anger and grief here in my blog.

I am adding the name and face of Giulia Cecchettin to the list of women.

Giulia was a 22 year old Università di Padova engineering student and artist who was murdered by an obsessive ex-boyfriend on November 11th of this year. She had been planning her graduation party when she was attacked, kidnapped and killed. Her killer is a fellow engineering student and he was reportedly angry that she was graduating ahead of him. Her kidnapping and murder has been front page news here in Italy for weeks now. And I see the parallel of the crimes committed against the female engineering students in Montreal and Giulia despite being separated by over three decades. Giulia Cecchettin was laid to rest by her family yesterday with over 10,000 supporters in attendance. Her father and sister eloquently spoke out for change in the wake of this horrific tragedy.

Gender-based violence must be stopped. Violence against women and girls is a human rights violation. In over thirty years nothing has really changed despite new laws that are not fully enforced. Every day women all over our world are killed because they are women, mostly by their intimate partners or ex-partners and other men who are close to them.

Giulia was the 84th victim of femicide in my adopted home this year.

She was not the last.

(Russian Federation) Growing Interest in Terahertz Radiation During the last few decades, there has been a growing interest in biomedical applications of terahertz (THz) radiation. This radiation has a frequency range of 0.1 to 3.0 THz, corresponding to wavelengths ranging from about 3 millimeters in free space to 100 micrometers. In terms of energy, this radiation has quantum energies of approximately 0.3 to 10 meV. This interest has been driven by the rapid progress in THz technology. Numerous research articles have highlighted the potential of THz technology in early, less invasive, non-invasive and real-time diagnosis of malignant and benign neoplasms with different nosologies and locations. Recent Advances in THz Effects on Biological Systems Research results in the field of the effects of THz waves on biological systems of different levels of organization, such as biomolecules, cells and organisms, have recently been discussed. Despite the large amount of data accumulated in this exciting line of research, we still possess rather limited knowledge about the biological effects of THz waves. Therefore, this review summarizes the up-to-date knowledge in the area of cellular exposure to THz radiation and paves the way towards THz dosimetry and therapeutic pathways. Conclusion on terahertz technology In conclusion, the latest discoveries in the terahertz range indicate a promising revolution in the research and application of biomedical technologies. As researchers continue to delve deeper into their study, we are likely to see significant changes in the way we approach the diagnosis and treatment of a number of diseases and disorders.

I got a few to add, mostly action and comedy

France French:

La Haine~Hate (social thriller)

Balle perdu~Lost Bullet, and sequel (action)

Banlieue 13~District 13, and sequel (action)

Québec French:

Bon cop/bad cop~Good cop/bad cop (bilingual action comedy) (note: this one is for if you want to learn slangy messy québec french)

Polytechnique~Polytechnic (dramatization of the Montréal massacre)

Kanehsatake: 270 ans de résistance~Kanehsatake: 270 years of resistance (documentary about the Oka crisis on Mohawk land)

I included the last one even though it was originally in english because if you're going to watch some films from québec, that damn well better be one of them

my dad turned on a. random movie and he said “you’ll like it” bc there were sharks in the trailer (?) and the whole thing is in french and like sharks are killing people in paris and there were lesbians but then one of them got eaten by sharks???? idfk what’s going on
