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.

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…

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.

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.
