The École Polytechnique massacre (French: tuerie de l'École polytechnique), also known as the Montreal massacre, was an antifeminist mass shooting that occurred on December 6, 1989, at the École Polytechnique de Montréal in Montreal, Quebec. Fourteen women were murdered; another ten women and four men were injured.

The perpetrator was 25-year-old Marc Lépine, armed with a legally obtained semi-automatic rifle and a hunting knife. He started at a mechanical engineering class at the École Polytechnique, where he separated the male and female students, ordering the men to leave. He shot all nine women in the room, killing six. For nearly 20 minutes the shooter moved through corridors on multiple floors of the building, the cafeteria, and another classroom, targeting women. He wounded more students and killed eight more women before fatally shooting himself. In total, he killed 14 women; he wounded 10 more women and four men.[1][2][3]

The massacre is now widely regarded as an act of misogynist terrorism and representative of wider societal violence against women. The anniversary of the massacre is commemorated annually as the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. The gunman had said he was against feminism; after the attack, Canadians debated various interpretations of the events, their significance, and the shooter's motives. Some interpretations noted that the shooter had been abused as a child, or suggested that the massacre was the isolated act of a madman, unrelated to larger social issues.

The Canada legislature responded by passing more stringent gun control laws, and officials took other actions to end violence against women. The massacre also led to policy changes in emergency services protocols to shootings; for instance, that police would intervene immediately to try to reduce casualties. These changes were credited with later minimizing casualties during incidents of shooting in Montreal and elsewhere. This was the deadliest mass shooting in Canada until the 2020 Nova Scotia attacks more than 30 years later, which resulted in 22 deaths.[4]

Timeline

[edit]

Sometime after 4 p.m. on December 6, 1989, Marc Lépine arrived at the building housing the École Polytechnique, an engineering school affiliated with the Université de Montréal, armed with a Ruger Mini-14 rifle and a hunting knife.[5] He had legally purchased the gun less than a month earlier on November 21 in a Checkmate Sports store in Montreal, saying that he was going to hunt small game.[6] Investigators learned that he had been in and around the École Polytechnique building at least seven times in the weeks leading up to December 6.[5]

The gunman sat for a while in the office of the registrar on the second floor. He did not speak to anyone, although a staff member asked if she could help him.[2] He left the office and was seen in other parts of the building before he entered a second-floor mechanical engineering class of about sixty students at about 5:10 p.m.[7] After approaching the student giving a presentation, he asked everyone to stop everything and ordered the women and men to opposite sides of the classroom. No one moved at first, believing it to be a joke, but he fired a shot into the ceiling.[8][9]

After separating the students, Lépine ordered the estimated fifty men to leave the room.[10][9] He asked the women whether they knew why they were there; a student asked who he was. He said that he was fighting feminism.[9][11] One of the students, Nathalie Provost, protested that they were women studying engineering, not feminists fighting against men or marching to prove that they were better. He opened fire on the students, from left to right, killing six—Hélène Colgan, Nathalie Croteau, Barbara Daigneault, Anne-Marie Lemay, Sonia Pelletier, and Annie St-Arneault—and wounding three others, including Provost.[9][11]

The gunman continued into the second-floor corridor and wounded three students before entering another room where he twice attempted to shoot a female student. When his weapon failed to fire, he entered the emergency staircase and reloaded his gun. He tried to return to the room he had just left, but the students had locked the door. He failed to open it although he fired three shots into the door.

He shot at other students in the corridor, wounding one, and approached the financial services office. There he shot and killed Maryse Laganière through the window of the door she had just locked.[12][11]

The gunman went down to the first-floor cafeteria, in which about 100 people were gathered. As he shot nursing student Barbara Maria Klucznick near the kitchens and wounded another student, the crowd scattered. Entering an unlocked storage area at the end of the cafeteria, the gunman shot and killed Anne-Marie Edward and Geneviève Bergeron, who were hiding. He told a male and female student to come out from under a table; they complied and he let them live.[13]: 30 [11]

The shooter walked up an escalator to the third floor, where he shot and wounded one female and two male students in the hallway. He entered another classroom and told the men to "get out", shooting and wounding Maryse Leclair, who was giving a presentation at the front of the classroom.[13]: 26–27  He fired on students in the front row, killing Maud Haviernick and Michèle Richard, who were trying to escape the room. Other students dove under their desks.[11][13]: 30–31  The killer wounded another three female students and killed Annie Turcotte. He changed the magazine in his weapon and moved to the front of the class, shooting in all directions. The wounded Maryse Leclair asked for help; the gunman stabbed her three times with his hunting knife, killing her. He took off his cap, wrapped his coat around his rifle, said, "Oh shit", and killed himself with a shot to the head. It was 20 minutes since he had begun the attack.[14][13]: 31–32  About 60 unfired cartridges remained in the boxes he carried with him.[14][13]: 26–27 

Emergency services response

[edit]

Emergency response to the shootings was harshly criticized for failures to protect the students and staff. Security guards at the École Polytechnique were poorly trained, organized and equipped.[15] Communication issues at the 911 call centre delayed the dispatch of police and ambulances, who were initially routed to incorrect addresses.[16]

The police officers were disorganized and poorly coordinated. They established a perimeter around the building and waited before entering the building. During this period, the gunman killed several women.[17][16] Three official investigations severely condemned the emergency response.[15]

Following subsequent changes to emergency response protocols, police handling of the 1992 shootings at Concordia University, the Dawson College shooting in 2006, and the 2014 attack on Parliament hill in Ottawa were generally praised. In these incidents, the police conducted rapid and immediate intervention, and improved coordination amongst emergency response agencies were credited with minimizing the loss of life.[18][15]

Aftermath

[edit]

On December 6, 1989, the Montreal Police director of public relations Pierre Leclair briefed reporters outside the Polytechnique building; when he entered, he found the body of his own daughter Maryse among the dead.[19][20]

The Quebec and Montreal governments declared three days of mourning.[19] A joint funeral for nine of the women was held at Notre-Dame Basilica on December 11, 1989, and was attended by Governor General Jeanne Sauvé, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, Quebec premier Robert Bourassa, and Montreal mayor Jean Doré, along with thousands of other mourners.[20]

[edit]
Main article: Marc Lépine

Marc Lépine (born Gamil Rodrigue Liass Gharbi) was the son of Monique Lépine, a French Canadian former Catholic nun, and an Algerian father, who was a non-practising Muslim. He and his sister Nadia were baptized Catholic but received little instruction. According to the mother in a 2006 article, the father, a mutual funds salesman, did not consider women to be the equal of men. He was physically and verbally abusive to his wife and son, and discouraged tenderness between the two.[23][24] When Gamil was seven, his parents separated; his father ceased contact with his children soon after.[23] His mother returned to nursing to support the family; because of her schedule, the children lived with other families during the week.

At age 14, Gamil changed his name to "Marc Lépine", citing his hatred of his father and taking his mother's surname to further separate from the man.[23] He had difficulty as he advanced in school and toward adulthood.

Lépine had attempted to join the Canadian Army during the winter of 1980–1981. According to his 1989 suicide letter found on his body at the attacks, he was rejected because he was "anti-social".[25]

The brief biography of the shooter that police released the day after the killings described him as intelligent but troubled.[26] He disliked feminists, career women, and women in traditionally-male occupations, such as the police force.[25] He began a pre-university CEGEP (college) program in Pure Sciences in 1982, but switched to a three-year vocational program in electronics technology after his first year. He abandoned this program in his final semester without explanation.[27][28][29] Lépine applied to the École Polytechnique in 1986 and in 1989 but lacked two CEGEP courses required for admission.[30] He completed one of them in the winter of 1989.[5][31]

Suicide letter

[edit]

On the day of the massacre, Lépine wrote three letters: two were sent to friends, and one was found in an inside pocket of his jacket.[5] The police revealed some details from the suicide letter in the days after the attack, but did not disclose the full text.[32][33][34]

The media filed an access to information case to compel the police to release the suicide letter but were unsucessful.[35] A year after the attacks, the three-page statement was leaked to journalist and feminist Francine Pelletier. It contained a list of nineteen Quebec women whom Lépine labeled as "radical feminists" and apparently intended to kill.[26][36] The list included Pelletier, plus a union leader, a politician, a TV figure, and six police officers who the gunman knew from their playing together on an amateur volleyball team.[37] The letter (without the list of women) was subsequently published in the newspaper La Presse, where Pelletier was a columnist.[38]

In the leaked letter, Lépine wrote that he was rational and blamed 'feminists' for ruining his life. He said he was angry at feminists for seeking social changes that "retain the advantages of being women [...] while trying to grab those of the men".[39] He referred to Denis Lortie, a Canadian Armed Forces corporal who had killed three government employees and wounded thirteen others in an armed attack on the National Assembly of Quebec on May 8, 1984.[40] The text of the original letter in French is available, as well as an English translation.

Search for a rationale

[edit]

The massacre profoundly shocked Canadians. Government and criminal justice officials feared that extensive public discussion about the massacre would cause pain to the families and lead to more antifeminist violence.[26] As a result, they did not conduct a public inquiry,[41] and did not release Lépine's suicide letter.[34] In addition, although an extensive police investigation into the perpetrator and the killings took place,[42] the resulting report was not made public. The coroner was authorized to have a copy as a source in her investigation.[5][43] The media, academics, women's organizations, and family members of the victims protested the lack of a public inquiry and paucity of information released.[10][26][44]

The gender of the victims, as well as Lépine's oral statements during the massacre and in the suicide note, have resulted in the attack being interpreted as antifeminist and as an example of the wider issue of violence against women in Canadian society.[45][46][47][48][49] Initially, politicians and the media downplayed the antifeminism angle of the attack.[50][51] Political leaders such as Robert Bourassa, Claude Ryan, and Jacques Parizeau spoke about "victims" and "youth" rather than "women" or "girls".[52] The television journalist Barbara Frum, pleaded against interpreting the massacre as an antifeminist attack or solely violence against women. She suggested that people were "diminishing" the tragedy by "suggesting that it was an act against just one group?"[50][53]

As predicted by the shooter in his suicide letter,[39] some observers believed the event was the isolated act of a madman.[26][50][54] A psychiatrist interviewed the gunman's family and friends, and examined his writings as part of the police investigation. He noted that the perpetrator defined suicide as his primary motivation, and that he chose a specific suicide method, namely killing oneself after killing others (multiple homicide/suicide strategy), which is considered a sign of a serious personality disorder.[5] Other psychiatrists emphasized the traumatic events of his childhood, suggesting that the blows he had received may have caused brain damage, or that he was psychotic, having lost touch with reality as he tried to erase the memories of a brutal (yet largely absent) father while unconsciously identifying with a violent masculinity that dominated women.[55][56] A different theory was that the shooter's childhood experiences of abuse led him to feel victimized as he faced losses and rejections in his later life.[56] His mother wondered whether her son might have suffered from attachment disorder, due to the abuse and sense of abandonment he had experienced in his childhood.[57]

Others framed the killer's actions as the result of societal changes that had led to increased poverty, powerlessness, individual isolation,[58] and polarization between men and women.[59][60] Noting the gunman's interest in violent action films, some suggested that violence in the media and in society may have influenced his actions.[10] Following the shootings at Dawson College in September 2006, Globe and Mail columnist Jan Wong suggested that Lépine may have felt alienated from Quebec society as he was the child of an immigrant; this provoked controversy as Canada has received numerous immigrants.[60]

In the years since, however, the attack has been widely acknowledged by the public, governments, and the media as a misogynistic attack on women and on feminism.[53][61][62]

Scholars believe that the gunman's actions sprang from widespread societal misogyny, including tolerance of violence against women.[46][63][64] Criminologists regard the massacre as an example of a hate or bias crime against women, as the victims were selected solely because of their membership in the category of women. The women targeted were interchangeable with other women.[65][66] They categorize it as a "pseudo-community" type of "pseudo-commando" murder-suicide, in which the perpetrator targets a specific group, often in a public place, and intends to die in "a blaze of glory".[67][68]

Individuals close to the massacre also commented: Lépine's mother wondered if the attack was synbolically directed at her, as some would have classified her as a feminist since she was a single, working mother.[24] Survivor Nathalie Provost who, during and after the attack, denied being a feminist. But she later claimed what she said was this "beautiful title" for herself.[69][70] She also said that she believed the massacre was clearly an antifeminist act.[61]

The injured and witnesses among university staff and students suffered a variety of physical, social, existential, financial, and psychological consequences, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). At least two students committed suicide afterward, and left notes confirming that their deaths were due to distress caused by the massacre.[71][72] Nine years after the event, survivors reported still being affected by their experiences, though some of the effects had lessened.[71]

Actions against Violence against Women

[edit]

The massacre galvanized the Canadian women's movement, who immediately saw it as a symbol of violence against women. "The death of those young women would not be in vain, we promised", Canadian feminist Judy Rebick recalled. "We would turn our mourning into organizing to put an end to male violence against women."[73]

In response to the killings, a House of Commons Sub-Committee on the Status of Women was created. It released a report "The War against Women" in June 1991, which was not endorsed by the full standing committee.[74][75] But, following its recommendations, the federal government established the Canadian Panel on Violence Against Women in August 1991. The panel issued a final report, Changing the Landscape: Ending Violence – Achieving Equality, in June 1993. The panel proposed a two-pronged "National Action Plan" consisting of an "Equality Action Plan" and a "Zero Tolerance Policy" designed to increase women's equality and reduce violence against women through government policy. Critics of the panel said that the plan failed to provide a workable timeline and strategy for implementation and that with more than four hundred recommendations, the final report was too difuse to make an impact.[76][77]

In Québec, family members of the victims formed a foundation to support organizations combatting violence, particularly violence against women. It has continued throughout all levels of society.[77][11] Survivors and their relatives have continued to speak about the issue.[78][79][80] Researchers increased their study of family violence and violence against women.[77] On December 6, 1995, the Quebec government adopted the "Policy on Intervention in Conjugal Violence" with the goal of detecting, preventing and ending domestic violence.[77]

Gun control

[edit]
Further information: Gun politics in Canada

The massacre was a major spur for the Canadian gun control movement.[31] Less than a week after the event, two École Polytechnique professors created a petition addressed to the Canadian government demanding tighter gun control; and more than half a million signatures were collected.[81] Heidi Rathjen, a student who was in one of the classrooms that Lépine skipped, organized the Coalition for Gun Control with Wendy Cukier to pressure for a gun registry and increased firearm regulation.[31][81] Suzanne Laplante-Edward and Jim Edward, parents of one of the victims, were also deeply involved.[82]

Their activities, along with others, led to the passage of Bill C-17 in 1992, and C-68, commonly known as the Firearms Act, in 1995, ushering in stricter gun control regulations.[31] These new regulations included requirements on the training of gun owners, screening of firearm applicants, 28-day waiting period on new applicants, rules concerning gun and ammunition storage, the registration of all firearms, magazine capacity restrictions for centre-fire semi automatics, and firearm restrictions and prohibitions. In 2009, survivors of the massacre, their families, and Polytechnique students past and present came together to create PolySeSouvient in opposition to legislative actions by Stephen Harper's Conservative government aimed at ending the registration of firearms.[83][84][85][86] The long-gun registry was abolished by the Harper government in April 2012,[87][88] but the Quebec government won a temporary injunction, preventing the destruction of the province's gun registry data, and ordering the continued registration of long guns in Quebec.[89][88] In March 2015, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled against Quebec, allowing the destruction of all the federal registry data,[90][88] although Quebec created its own provincial gun registry to replace it.[88] Since its creation, PolySeSouvient, with survivors Nathalie Provost and Heidi Rathjen as spokespersons, has continued to be active in lobbying for stricter gun control and safety in Quebec and Canada. In 2018 Justin Trudeau's Liberal government introduced Bill C-71, which restored the requirement for sales of firearms to be registered,[88] but PolySeSouvient denounced the proposed regulations as ineffective and incomplete. In 2020, in the wake of the mass killing in Nova Scotia, and while also citing the École Polytechnique massacre, Trudeau announced a ban on around 1,500 models of "military-grade assault-style weapons", including the model used for the killings in Montreal.[91][92][93] PolySeSouvient welcomed the news, but critiqued the possibility of a grandfathering clause for the weapons as a danger to public safety.[94]

Controversy

[edit]

The feminist movement has been criticized for appropriating the massacre as a symbol of male violence against women.[95] In 1990 journalist Roch Côté responded to the publication of Polytechnique, 6 décembre, a feminist memorial anthology, with an essay entitled Manifeste d'un salaud where he suggested that feminists used the massacre as a chance to unleash "insanities".[96][97] Men's rights and antifeminist commentators state that feminism has provoked violence against women and, without explicitly condoning the shootings, view the massacre as an extreme expression of men's frustrations.[98][99] Some antifeminists see the killer as a hero, glorifying his actions,[100][101][102][103] and threatening violence.[104][105][106]

Male survivors of the massacre have been criticised for not intervening to stop the shooter. In an interview immediately after the event, a reporter asked one of the men why they "abandoned" the women when it was clear that his targets were women.[107] René Jalbert, the sergeant-at-arms who persuaded Lortie to surrender, said that someone should have intervened at least to distract Lépine, but acknowledged that "ordinary citizens cannot be expected to react heroically in the midst of terror".[19] Conservative newspaper columnist Mark Steyn suggested that male inaction during the massacre illustrated a "culture of passivity" prevalent among men in Canada, which enabled the shooting spree.[108] Male students and staff expressed feelings of remorse for not having attempted to prevent the shootings.[10] This issue has been strongly rejected by the Polytechnique student community.[109] Nathalie Provost, one of the female survivors, said that she felt that nothing could have been done to prevent the tragedy and that her fellow students should not feel guilty.[110] Asmaa Mansour, another survivor, emphasized the actions of the men in saving her life and in helping the injured.[109]

Commemoration

[edit]

The Nef pour quatorze reines (Nave for fourteen queens), detail

Since 1991, the anniversary of the massacre has been designated the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, intended as a call to action against discrimination against women.[48] A White Ribbon Campaign was launched in 1991 by a group of men in London, Ontario in the wake of the massacre, for the purpose of raising awareness about the prevalence of male violence against women, with the ribbon symbolizing "the idea of men giving up their arms".[111]

The Place du 6-Décembre-1989 in the Côte-des-Neiges/Notre-Dame-de-Grâce borough of Montreal was created as a memorial to the victims of the massacre. Located at the corner of Decelles Avenue and Queen Mary Road, a short distance from the university, it includes the art installation Nef pour quatorze reines (Nave for Fourteen Queens) by Rose-Marie Goulet.[112] Originally described as a memorial for a "tragic event", in 2019, the plaque was changed to reflect indicate that the attack was antifeminist and that 14 women were killed.[113]

Events are held across the country each year on December 6 in memory of the slain women and numerous memorials have been built.[39] The memorial in Vancouver sparked controversy because it was dedicated to "all women murdered by men", which critics say implies all men are potential murderers.[114] Women involved in the project received death threats and the Vancouver Park Board banned future memorials that might antagonize other groups.[115][116]

On the 25th anniversary, fourteen light beams representing the 14 victims shine from Mount Royal

Since the commemorative ceremony on the 25th anniversary of the massacre in 2014, fourteen searchlights have been installed annually on the summit of Mount Royal - representing the fourteen victims of the massacre. At 5:10 p.m., the time when the attack began, the name of each victim is read, and a light beam is projected upward into the sky.[117][118][119] The event is attended by local and national leaders.[120][118]

In 2013, a new science building at John Abbott College was named in honour of Anne-Marie Edward, a victim of the massacre who attended the CEGEP before going on to university.[121]

In 2014, the Order of the White Rose was established, a $30,000 national scholarship for female engineering graduate students. The selection committee is chaired by Michèle Thibodeau-DeGuire,[122] the first female graduate of École Polytechnique.[123]

Depiction in media

[edit]

The event has also been commemorated in the arts. The critically acclaimed movie Polytechnique, directed by Denis Villeneuve, was released in 2009 and caused discussion over the desirability of reliving the tragedy in a mainstream film.[124][125][126] In a play about the shootings by Adam Kelly called The Anorak, the audience are separated by gender: it was named as one of the best plays of 2004 by the Montreal Gazette.[126][97] Colleen Murphy's play The December Man (L'homme de décembre) was first staged in Calgary in 2007.[22][97] Wajdi Mouawad's 2007 play Forêts was inspired by and contains echoes of the tragedy.[97][126] In 2009 Quebec playwright Gilbert Turp wrote Pur chaos du désir, which examined a marriage breakdown in the aftermath of the Polytechnique killings.[97][126] Several songs have been written about the events, including This Memory by the folk duo the Wyrd Sisters,[22] Montreal by The Tragically Hip[127][128] and 6 December 1989 by the Australian singer Judy Small.[129]
