Polytechnique, Denis Villeneuve, 2009
IL Y A 214 ANS | Mort d'Étienne-Louis Malus, qui mit en évidence la polarisation de la lumière ➽ http://bit.ly/Etienne-Louis-Malus Incarnant l'esprit analytique du Premier Empire, il expire le 24 février 1812. Au nombre des premiers élèves que compta l'École Polytechnique, c'est au cours de la campagne d'Égypte, à ses heures perdues, qu'Étienne-Louis Malus entama ses travaux visant à montrer que la lumière n'était pas un corps simple, donnant à son retour en France une loi nouvelle à l'optique
Je me souviens : le 6 décembre 1989, 14 étudiantes et employées à la Polytechnique de Montréal sont assassinées par un tueur antiféministe qui leur en veut de « prendre sa place » parce qu’elle sont des femmes.
Elles s’appellent :
Geneviève Bergeron, 21 ans, étudiante en génie mécanique
Maryse Laganière, 25 ans, employée au Service des finances
Hélène Colgan, 23 ans, étudiante en génie mécanique
Maryse Leclair, 23 ans, étudiante en génie métallurgique
Nathalie Croteau, 23 ans, étudiante en génie mécanique
Anne-Marie Lemay, 22 ans, étudiante en génie mécanique
Barbara Daigneault, 22 ans, étudiante en génie mécanique
Sonia Pelletier, 28 ans, étudiante en génie mécanique
Anne-Marie Edward, 21 ans, étudiante en génie chimique
Michèle Richard, 21 ans, étudiante en génie métallurgique
Maud Haviernick, 29 ans, étudiante en génie métallurgique
Annie St-Arneault, 23 ans, étudiante en génie mécanique
Barbara Klucznik-Widajewicz, 31 ans, étudiante en sciences infirmières (Université de Montréal)
Annie Turcotte, 20 ans, étudiante en génie métallurgique
Cet attentat a eu un effet profond sur la société du Canada au complet et a mené à un resserrage des lois entourant l’accès au armes à feu au pays, dont la création du Registre canadien des armes à feu. Le 6 décembre est maintenant, au Canada en entier, la Journée nationale de commémoration et d'action contre la violence faite aux femmes.
Un post sur tumblr ne pourrait jamais bien représenter tout ce que le 6 décembre veut dire, alors si vous êtes intéressés d’en comprendre plus sur cet événement, je recommande le livre Ce jour-là, parce qu’elles étaient des femmes de Josée Boileau et ce documentaire, mais il y a bien sûr des articles dessus dans tout les médias canadiens, surtout à ce temps de l’année en commémoration.
Polytechnique Denis Villeneuve Canada, 2009 ★★★
On Dec. 6, 1989, the country was forever changed. Fourteen women died at Montreal’s École Polytechnique, killed simply because they were wom
Je me souviens
Today is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in Canada. Why today? Because 35 years ago, a gunman decided to go on a killing spree at Polytechnique (engineering school in Montreal) and killed 14 young women simply because they were women. An antifeminist atrocity, all because a man blamed his own lacking on women and feminists.
35 years is a long time and yet… With the hyper masculine influencers gaining more and more followers, with a rapist becoming the “leader of the free world” along so many other things, feels like society has barely evolved…

You wanna know something funny?
In Québec, every december 6th, the entire province commemorates the day that a shooter walked into Polytechnique engineering school and killed 14 women who were studying there. This happened in 1989. Its been over 30 years and we still commemorate it.
Meanwhile in the US, a middle school gets shot up every week and no one says anything. But sure, you dont need gun control!
Oliver: The Polytechnique ball thinks big! Napoléon V: I suggested the Garnier Opera to the school president. You've got to have a bit of fun!
Oliver: How did your honeymoon go? Napoléon V: Very well, thank you. It was strange to be cut off from the world, away from all the hustle and bustle of Paris.
Oliver: Good! You needed a rest. By the way, I thought it would please Hortense to have an estate in Francesim, so that we could visit you from time to time. Napoléon V: That's a good idea, I like knowing that my twin sister won't be too far away from us.
Oliver: Of course, don't worry, I'll look after her… That is, if you agree, officially Napoléon V: Officially, so that's it?
Oliver: Yes, I've been ready for several months now. I'm sorry again for all the trouble I've caused you, it wasn't… Napoléon V: Let's not talk about it any more. It's all settled. I know that Hortense will be happy with you, surely … more than with me.
Oliver: You were born to take different paths. At this time in your lives, the distance is natural. However, I believe I can echo Hortense's sentiments that she loves you dearly, no matter what and despite everything that has happened. Napoléon V: Thank you, Oliver. I'm counting on you to look after her.

Napoléon V and his entourage went to the Grand Bal de l'X, organised by the École Polytechnique to celebrate the end of their year of study. The ball took place at the Opéra Garnier, and featured a number of performances including dances, fencing, a choir and many other distinguished ceremonies. It's a not-to-be-missed event for young students. During the evening, Oliver approached his friend Napoléon V to officially ask for his sister Hortense's hand in marriage. The Emperor agreed to make the engagement official.
