Remembering the Legacy of the Montreal Massacre



I had just finished my last post, about Donald Trump's plans to all but eliminate gun controls in the United States.

When I suddenly remembered that tonight fourteen beams of light will rise into the sky from the summit of Mount Royal, so all Montrealers can see them.

And remember what happened on a snowy day in that city twenty-seven years ago today.

When a man who hated women went on a bloody rampage at the Ă‰cole Polytechnique.
