On the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, Ontario Greens Deputy Leader Aislinn Clancy commemorated the 14 women who lost their lives in the École Polytechnique tragedy 35 years ago. She highlighted the alarming rise of toxic masculinity, misogyny, and violence against women in contemporary society, citing a recent attack at the University of Waterloo as a chilling example. Clancy emphasized the importance of amplifying survivors’ voices and called on the Ford government to take concrete actions to combat gender-based violence.
