The Polytechnique massacre wasn't just a mass shooting — it was a mass femicide. The gunman explicitly targeted women and blamed feminists for the troubles in his life. We must fight like hell to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
Don’t you dare forget their names.

"American F-35s could be serviced in Quebec"
"Could be" - as in not likely.
The Gripens will be serviced in Canada, that is already guaranteed.
L3Harris could do it.
And they will be built in Canada for Canada and possibly other customers.
That is also guaranteed.

Today, we remember the fourteen young women whose lives were stolen at Polytechnique Montréal 36 years ago.
Their names are a solemn reminder of the devastating toll of gender-based violence — and the responsibility that comes with our remembrance.

Apologies to all thoughtful and engaged Canadians; it is evident that the BC Conservatives have taken an extra helping of stupid and it'll be some time before they can act like decent human beings.

My daughter thinks when The Professor, our foster dog, “does his business”, we should refer to it as “he’s grading papers” or “he’s preparing lecture notes.”
