In the News (Sun 8 Nov 09)

This method then formed the ’lectroclip piece, and later became the basis for the beginning and end sections of her piece about the MontrŸal Massacre, L ’cole Polytechnique, in which breathing is gradually interrupted by more and more ominous sounds, then eventually returns in hope for continuing life at the end.
(HW: ’cole Polytechnique score 1990: 2) The tape part of ’cole Polytechnique is very important in that it provides an overall structure, and instrumentalists and choir are intended to use it to cue various parts of the piece.

The registry of long guns, and more talk of gun control in general, came about, in part, as a reaction to the 1989 Montreal massacre.
Had all, or many, students and faculty at L’École Polytechnique, or Dawson College, been armed, Marc Lepine and Kimveer Gill would have been taken out quickly.

I just wanted to mention one of the reactions I've heard in Canada to "Bowling for Columbine." A Montreal journalist friend of mine, who otherwise loves the film and generally agrees with Moore's ideas on gun control, nonetheless found the Canadian segment of the film to be inexcusably dishonest.
The reason: Moore fails to make any mention of our own homegrown Columbine, the Dec 6, 1989 massacre of 14 women at Montreal's Ecole Polytechnique by a deranged gunman named Marc Lepine.
But that might have undermined his thesis about us peace-loving, gun-controlling Canadians.
