2. This brings to mind what happened in Montreal 37 years ago.

On December 6, 1989, Marc Lépine, armed with a legally-obtained semi-automatic rifle and a 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 to shoot for just under 20 minutes. He killed a further eight women before turning the gun on himself. It was the deadliest mass shooting in Canada until the 2020 Nova Scotia attacks.

After the attack, Canadians debated various interpretations of the events, their significance, and the shooter’s motives. 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.

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.

That was a truly awful day in Canada., one I will never forget. It just never ends, the violence against women.

5. Yes. Traumatic for the country. He was an incel before the term was coined.

Sad childhood, became "asocial". Rejected twice by the school where he murdered the young women, also by the Air Force. History of dropping out and failures. Blamed everything on women and for "ruining his life". His suicide note was dripping with disdain and blame.

Not so shocking he is a hero to other incels and certain "men's rights" groups. I would not be surprised if this incel thought him a "hero" too.

4. some info about the manifesto

A preliminary investigation has determined that the gunman subscribed to the 'incel,' or involuntarily celibate ideology, sources close with the probe told TVA Nouvelles.

He lamented male loneliness and spread derogatory remarks about women in the manifesto, in which he also allegedly attacked porn sites - which he believed are largely responsible for men's misfortune - and criticized modern capitalist society.

The manifesto even called for a violent revolution, according to Radio-Canada.
