On December 6, 1989, a gunman opened fire at cole Polytechnique in Montreal, Quebec, killing 14 women and injuring several others. The attacker, Marc Lpine, targeted female students and expressed his anger towards feminists.

In the aftermath, Canada implemented stricter gun laws and began efforts to combat misogyny and gender-based violence. The event remains one of Canadas most tragic acts of mass violence.
