Tomorrow is the 25the anniversary of the Montreal Massacre.

I remember the trauma of it.  I also remember the way it mobilized people: Now, surely, things would change.  Now, surely, things would be different.

Looking at things today, I’m not sure our 1989 selves would be all that excited about how things have turned out.

Enough from me, though.  My voice isn’t one that matters today.  Just spare a few minutes.  Go to a service.  Remember the dead.  We still need to do right by them.
