1989 Montreal Massacre, Femicide and Gun Control
The hosts discuss the 30th anniversary of the 1989 École Polytechnique massacre in Montreal, where Marc Lépine murdered 14 women. The event is described as Canada's first mass "femicide," though the media at the time struggled to address the gender-based nature of the crime. The discussion links the anniversary to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's recent push for new gun control measures in Canada.
