On December 6th, 1989, Canada's worst mass shooting took place at Montreal's Ecole Polytechnique which resulted in the deaths of 14 women, and 14 others injured.
It started when the shooter, Marc Lépine, entered an engineering classroom at the school and separated the men and women. He then ordered the men to leave and shot the 9 women who remained, killing 6 of them.
He then for 20 minutes went through other areas in the school targetting women before killing himself. He stated he was "fighting feminism".
The tragic incident is now being officially acknowledged as an attack on feminists, and a memorial plaque in the city of Montreal has been changed to reflect that. Nathalie Provost, a survivor of the shooting, says it was an obvious anti-feminist act from the moment it happened.
Several events are planned every year in Montreal and other places in Canada to mark the anniversary.
