Mass murder has forever marked Canada's history. It was the evening of December 6, 1989. Armed with a semi-automatic rifle and a hunting dagger, Marc Lépine, of his birth name Gamil Gharbi, enters the Ecole polytechnique at the University of Quebec , to Montreal. He kills 14 women – 13 students and a secretary – and injures 14 others, including 10 women.
It's the "First mass contemporary feminicide claimed"according to Mélissa Blais, sociologist and Quebec historian. But it will take thirty years for the Quebec authorities to finally call the killing of December 6, 1989, an anti-feminist attack.
