      Today marks 28 years since the École Polytechnique massacre, when a young gunman entered a Montréal college and killed fourteen women, most of them engineering students, saying "I hate feminists."

      The attack—our deadliest, as far as I know—led to strengthened gun control laws and a national movement against violence against women.

      Today we remember the victims.
