  • Summary

  • In this sobering episode of Verona Investigates, I recount the devastating events of December 6, 1989, when Marc Lépine walked into École Polytechnique in Montreal and committed one of Canada’s most infamous mass shootings.

    Declaring his hatred for feminists, Lépine targeted and murdered 14 women, injuring 10 others before taking his own life. We'll examine his troubled background, the manifesto he left behind, and the societal implications of his actions. How did this horrifying event ignite a national conversation on misogyny, gun control, and violence against women?

    Join me as we honor the victims, reflect on the aftermath, and explore the enduring legacy of this tragedy in Canada’s history.

    Trigger Warning: This episode discusses themes of gender-based violence and mass murder.
