About this listen
On December 6, 1989, a gunman entered Montreal’s École Polytechnique and opened fire, targeting women in a brutal attack that shook Canada to its core. Fourteen women lost their lives, and countless others were forever changed. This episode revisits the harrowing events of that day, the survivors’ stories, and the lasting impact on Canadian society — from gun control reforms to the fight for gender equality.
Northern Dark examines the tragedy not only as one of Canada’s darkest crimes, but as a turning point in the nation’s history: The École Polytechnique Massacre (Montreal Massacre).
