Side note: For statements and source texts; Bolds and italics are mine. Miles in green.

I really wanted to out this event for some reason. The whole story stinks and fills me with a kind of subtle anger (which is what is designed to do, being a continuation of the Men-are-Pigs Project). As we know from Miles' work on the subject, something always feels of with these alleged mass shooting events. This one had lengthy suicide note and everything (which we will go into later). What really outs this event for me, even before doing much digging, is all the reactive publicity. For the next 30 years, the event would spur endless debates and articles about misogyny, woman's rights, female empowerment, gun control, blah blah blah, etc. It has that unreal, propaganda feel we've seen over and over again. The crux of the story revolves around antifeminism and violence against women. The event spawned the National Day of Remembrance and Acton of Violence Against Women. On that page, it is quoted that, "Thirty-five percent of women worldwide have experienced physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence, according to the United Nations." The old one in five became one in four and is now more than 1 in three. As we know, the goal with these projects is to make woman (and men) feel on edge everywhere. There are even bizarre statements on wiki about how men should have stopped the shooter. Of course. Another thought that occurred to me was to plant the idea in women who take night classes (and college debt) in mathematics or feminism 101 that they are somehow joining the front line or something. Furthermore, this event is a continuation of the distortion/destruction of real feminism.

 

Honestly, the melodrama around this event goes on and on at every which angle you approach from. There's no subtlety to it. Throughout the research, I kept seeing the same slogan over and over: these women MUST NOT be forgotten, or else misogyny will never be undone or whatever. All the endless rituals, memorials, moments of silence and such. Here's two photos below: one with 14 "coffin-like" benches in Vancouver (nice thing to sit on to relax right?) and another with 14 lights shooting into the sky.

When I tried to search, "école polytechnique massacre was fake," I am only allowed 4 pages of links before Google decides to omit all the rest of the links that are "similar" to my search query. Moving past page four and beyond, I still couldn't find any links with search words “fake” or "staged". So all real searches are blocked, on purpose.

Once again, I stumbled across this one via the film industry. After seeing parts of Dune (2019), I searched the director of the film. The director is the spooky promoted Denis Villeneuve: the new Dune series, Blade Runner 2049, Arrival, Sicario (all huge Hollywood productions). I noticed a film early in his career: Polytechnique (2009). Polytechnique is a dramatic representation of an event as stated by Wikipedia as The École Polytechnique massacre (French: tuerie de l'École polytechnique), also known as the Montreal massacre, was a 1989 antifeminism mass shooting at the École Polytechnique de Montréal in Montreal, Quebec. Fourteen women were murdered; 10 further women and four men were injured.

Noticing some funny numbers on Villeneuve's wiki page: Polytechnique cost $6 million dollars to make with a box office success of $1.6 million. His first film Maelstrom is even worse, with $3.4 million cost, raking in $0.3 million at box office. How was this guy chosen for some of the most expensive films since 2010? Polytechnique would be awarded Best Motion Picture from the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television, despite being one of the biggest cinematic bombs of all time. Making only a quarter of its costs back, it ranks down with films like Gigli, Heaven's Gate, and Supernova. Funny note, the credits for the film lists the alleged shooter, Marc Lepine, solely as, "The Killer." Overselling this much guys? The actor who played Lepine also won Best Supporting Actor that year. Per my previous research, we would expect him to be related to Lepine. Villeneuve won Best Picture the next year as well, for another propaganda flick Incendie, also produced by CSIS and Canadian military.

Villeneuve's short films look even more disgusting: Rated R for Nudity and Next Floor. Next Floor is a short film about 11 people who endlessly gorge themselves on food at a banquet for 11 minutes. I'm gagging already. Story by Caroline Binet and Phoebe Greenberg. Screenplay written by Jacques Davidts (who is also the writer for Polytechnique). Producers are Phoebe Greenberg and Karen Murphy. The short film premiered at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival and won bunch of awards I guess. That year, the President of the Official Jury was American actor and director….Sean Penn (also on the panel is Natalie Portman). Also to make their first world appearance at the festival: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The Cannes Film Festival was founded in 1946. According to wiki, "The film [Next Floor] was conceived by producer Phoebe Greenberg and directed by Villeneuve during a break from production of his feature film Polytechnique."

Rated R for Nudity is extremely creepy: I warn readers to not watch if they are more sensitive. A 3 min short as described by the National Film Board of Canada (with an amazing logo with one eye) as stated:

"In this short film, filmmaker Denis Villeneuve takes a playful stab at mass hypnosis. Celebrating the mesmerizing power of movies, he offers mischievous glimpses into a subconscious world inhabited by Bergman, Spielberg... and Bo Derek."

The short is super gross and mentally mind-rapey with only one image displayed for .5 seconds near min 2:20. The image is a young boy who appears to be naked in a small pool of water wearing a snorkel. The boy is reaching down with something in his hand. I couldn't analyze this one much longer because it was making me sick just looking at it. The man who made this crap directed Polytechnique as well as some of the biggest block busters in the last 10 years?

There's also a play about the Polytechnique event: The Anorak by Adam Kelly Morton. As stated on Wikipedia: "It is a 90-minute dramatc monologue told from the killer's point of view. In the performances, audience members are separated between men and women, with the actor speaking to the men exclusively for the first 80 minutes. Only during the detailed description of the massacre are the women in the audience addressed. After each performance, Kelly would hold an optional forum with the audience to discuss issues brought up in the play, including gun control and violence against women. Based on this play, Kelly would be invited to collaborate with Villeneuve (not really sure what he contributes) for the upcoming film Polytechnique."

Ok, enough with the entertainment industry promotions and plugs. Let's move on to the event itself. 

December 6, 1989 and the timeline of events:

I will mostly quote from the wiki page and the Coroner's report. From the wiki page, 21 references for the event are from this book by Josee Boileau: Because They Were Women: The Montreal Massacre written in 2020, where we find a section outlining the event.

My first reading of the Coroner's report made me laugh a lot. It just goes on and on without really saying anything. For example, read this section and tell me if it makes any semblance of sense:

"2.1.1.2 Second foor

The survivors of this tragedy comprised a control group: injuries inflicted in the same way, at nearly the same time, same age category. By comparing the severity of the injuries of the non-survivors with those of the survivors, it is possible to validate the conclusions reached regarding probability of death. The study showed that all the deaths occurred by reason of the severity of the injuries suffered and that none of the victims could have survived, the injuries suffered by the survivors being significantly less serious than those of the non-survivors."

The story begins with Marc walking into a classroom on the second floor. He ordered the men and women to separate, telling the men to leave the room. He then shot and killed 6 and wounded 3 others. From there he went into the hallway trying to shoot more people. Only wounding a few, he made his way towards the financial services office where he killed another. He then went down to the cafeteria on the first floor where there were 100 students. Here he killed another student as the crowd scattered. He then shot two women hiding in a storage locker. From here he went up an escalator to the 3rd floor shooting at more people in the hallways before entering another classroom where a woman was giving a presentation. (All of this shooting and people are still doing the normal routine in the cafeteria and classrooms?) Again, he ordered the men to leave the room while killing two women trying to escape. He then shot another woman and began firing all around the room. The last victim was a wounded woman, Maryse Leclair, crying out for help. Marc unsheathed his knife and stabbed her three times. He then took of his cap, wrapped his coat around his rife, exclaimed, "Oh shit", and then killed himself with a shot to the head 20 minutes after having begun his attack.
