      memory
      of
      the
      Massa-
     
     
      cre.
      I
      can
      remember
     
     
      news
      reports
      splashed
      on
     
     
      television
      and
      my
      par-
     
     
      ents
      talking
      about
      four-
     
     
      teen
      women
      being
      killed
     
     
      at
      school.
      I
      remember
      it
     
     
      scared
      me,
      because
     
     
      although
      I
      didn’t
      have
      a
     
     
      complete
      understanding
     
     
      of
      what
      had
      happed,
      I
     
     
      was
      a
      female
      too
      and
     
     
      maybe
      that
      wasn’t
      a
      safe
     
     
      thing
      to
      be.
      As
      I
      got
     
     
      older
      and
      learned
      more
     
     
      about
      the
      killings,
      I
     
     
      realized
      how
      stupid
      and
     
     
      senseless
      it
      was,
      how
     
     
      stupid
      and
      senseless
     
     
      violence
      against
      women
     
     
      is
      —
      period.
      Why
      as
     
     
      women
      should
      we
      be
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      is
      unacceptable.
      Women
     
     
      and
      men
      need
      to
      stand
     
     
      up
      and
      be
      counted
      on
     
     
      this
      issue.
      When
      all
      of
     
     
      us
      truly
      believe
      that
     
     
      violence
      is
      unacceptable,
     
     
      then
      real
      changes
      can
      be
     
     
      made.
     
    

    
     
      So
      on
      Dec.
      6,
     
     
      between
      writing
      exams
     
     
      and
      worrying
      about
      late
     
     
      term
      papers,
      stop
      for
      a
     
     
      moment
      and
      remember
     
     
      the
      fourteen
      women
      who
     
     
      died
      in
      Montreal
      simply
     
     
      because
      they
      were
     
     
      women.
      Remember
     
     
      these
      courageous
      young
     
     
      women
      who
      never
      got
      a
     
     
      chance
      to
      write
      their
     
     
      exams,
      or
      graduate,
      or
     
     
      live
      out
      their
      lives.
      Take
     
     
      a
      half
      hour
      and
      attend
     
     
      UPEI’s
      memorial
      service

      Do

      When
      does
      society
      as
      a
     
     
      whole
      realize

      men
      and
      women
     
     
      have
      their
      differences,
      it
     
     
      is
      better
      for
      us
      to
      work
     
     
      together
      than
      to
