Full stop. The Liberals are giving the RCMP final say over which firearms are restricted rather than leaving the decision with an elected cabinet. The RCMP will be able to make criminal law then enforce those same laws. That should be a danger signal for all Canadians, not just licensed firearm owners. Steve Gunson, Abbotsford http://theprovince.com/opinion/letters/gun-laws-are-tough-enough LIBERALS OFFER NO TIMELINE TO TOUGHEN GUN LAWS ON 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF DAWSON COLLEGE SHOOTINGS “I think it’s better to do it that way in a coherent way to be the most effective,” Goodale said, referring to the Liberal’s election campaign commitment to repeal elements of Bill C-42, the former Conservative’s government’s 2015 gun law.

  • About This Issue
    ABOUT THIS ISSUE SCHOOL SCHMOOL WAS CREATED IN TIOHTIÀ:KE ("MONTREAL"), UNCEDED INDIGENOUS KANIEN'KEHA:KA (MOHAWK) TERRITORY, WHICH HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN A MEETING AND LIVING SPACE FOR HAUDENOSAUNEE, ABÉNAKI, AND ALGONQUIN PEOPLE. WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THE CONTINUED PRESENCE OF MÉTIS, INNU, AND INUIT FOLK ON THIS LAND. School Schmool is your radical guide to your often unradical school. In 1994, the first editors wrote, “When we say ‘school schmool’ we don’t mean to be dismissive. What we mean is that there are a lot of things going on at university, and school is only one of them.” Though it began as a bi-annual publication that brought together group profiles, articles, and practical resources for social justice, School Schmool is now an ad-free, corporate-free, agenda-with-an-agenda, connecting the McGill, Concordia, and greater Tioh’tia:ke communities.We hope to bridge (and break) the gap between academia and issues outside the classroom by providing a guidebook where students can find information on resources and initiatives taking place in their communities. We strive to feature content that presents radical, anti-oppressive, and intersectional perspectives on current issues, especially works by Queer and/or Trans people, Black and/or Indigenous people, and other people of colour. The theme for this year’s edition is THE TANGIBLE. Over the past few years, it's often felt like everyone was particularly exhausted. Instead of just talking about how shitty things sometimes are, we wanted to offer possibilities for concrete actions, and real ideas for creating radical communities. Sometimes engagement can mean learning how to occupy the McGill administration building (p.

  • A Montreal Massacre Memorial and Legacy, by Wendy C
    Preface 2020 The following document, A Montreal Massacre Memorial and Legacy, by Wendy C. Gentleman is supplementary material for the article in the CSME bulletin for Dec, 2020. It is intended for educational purposes. We have strived to cite all sources, and this version of the document has removed several graphics in an effort to respect copyright regulations. Preface 2014 What follows is a document about the Montreal Massacre and some of its legacy, which is based on the presentation given by Dr. Wendy Gentleman at the December 6, 2014 memorial ceremony held by the Dalhousie Undergraduate Engineering Society and the Dalhousie Women in Engineering Society. Dr. Gentleman is an Associate Professor in Dalhousie's Department of Engineering Mathematics. In 1989, at the time of the massacre, she was in Montreal in the first year of her undergraduate studies in Mechanical Engineering at McGill University. This was the fourth such ceremony at which Dr. Gentleman spoke about the massacre, her experiences as a woman in engineering, and her views on how we can honour the victims. Dr. Gentleman speaks at December 6 memorial ceremonies because it has personal significance for her, and because she recognizes its broader significance for other engineers, women, and Canadians. Dr. Gentleman also recognizes that many among our younger generations do not know about the Montreal Massacre, let alone why they should care. So another reason that Dr. Gentleman speaks at December 6 ceremonies is to educate people about our relevant history; she wants people to appreciate why the Montreal Massacre matters to them, why they should learn, and why they should never forget.

While this phenomenon has enjoyed a wide coverage in the media, there is only a limited amount of scholarly research available on the subject. Furthermore, research on Canadian school shootings is practically inexistent. Focusing on the Dawson school shooting as a case study, this thesis hypothesizes that the repetitive occurrences of school shootings reveal a deeper social malaise regarding masculinity in North America.

  • Adam Lanza: Timeline
    Adam Lanza: Timeline Compiled by Reed Coleman This document chronicles Adam Lanza’s life and noteworthy activities leading up to the Sandy Hook shooting. Other shootings are mentioned only if a specific connection to Lanza is known. Unsourced references to Lanza’s online activity rely on archived forum pages, which are also available at schoolshooters.info. Lanza’s alternate monikers have been set in bold. 22 April 1992 Adam Peter Lanza is born to Peter and Nancy Lanza in Kingston, NH. 29 April 1992 At eight days old, Adam Lanza has an episode of apnea and stops breathing. He is admitted back to the hospital.1 Late 1994 Adam Lanza undergoes a “birth to three” evaluation in New Hampshire, ostensibly in order to qualify for state-provided support services for special-needs children. Significant impair- ment is noted, especially in relation to his having “created his own language.” The developmental assessment completed by AL’s Birth to Three provider indicated that AL “fell well below expectations in social-personal development.” The evaluator was un- able to understand any of AL’s language, needing his mother to serve as an interpreter throughout the testing. Evaluators concluded that AL presented with “significantly delayed development of articulation and expressive language skills.”2 1995 Adam begins pre-school in Kingston, New Hampshire. He attended school several days per week, receiving special education support services, including speech support and occupational therapy as recommended by his Individualized Education Plan (IEP).3 1997 The Sanborn Regional School District discontinues speech and language support services for Adam, “due to a perception that his challenges were not impeding his ability to learn.”4 Early April 1997 A neurological/developmental evaluation notes that Adam is an extremely active young child—he never slept through the night, continued to make up his own language, and re- portedly did not like to be held, kissed or hugged.
