...politicizing an event from decades ago to push his illogical agenda.
There is no question Trudeau used the occasion to push a political agenda. His speech wasn't about the murdered women, they aren't mentioned after the second paragraph, the rest is just an ad for his government.
there is an annual commemoration for the École Polytechnique mass shooting... in 1991 the anniversary of the mass shooting was proclaimed,
National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. The PM Trudeau statement, of course, mentions/leads with references to this... and extends to also draw attention to:
- the 16 Days of Activism against Gender Based Violence
- the relatively recent killing of 4 Indigenous women in Manitoba
- the MMIWG National Action Plan and the related Federal Pathway as the Government of Canada's contribution to the National Action Plan
- the Government of Canada's Gender-Based Violence Strategy and related Action Plan to end gender based violence
- as the second last short paragraph in the statement, in relation to helping to protect women/girls, mention is made of gun control measures, vis-a-vis Bill C-21
