WATCH: Carney confuses École Polytechnique with Concordia while introducing candidate who survived massacre

While introducing a Liberal candidate who survived the École Polytechnique massacre, Mark Carney confused the university with nearby Concordia.

Nathalie Provost, who will run in the newly-created riding of Châteauguay–Les Jardins-de-Napierville near Montreal, was shot four times during the 1989 attack that claimed the lives of 14 female students.

During an event in Musquodoboit Harbour, Nova Scotia on Tuesday, Carney highlighted some of some of mispronounced Provost's name before describing her as a defender of social justice.

"Out of the tragedy of the shootings at Concordia," Carney said, "[she] became a social justice activist, and she's put her hand up, and she's running for us."

Among those who called Carney out was Sen. Leo Housakos.

"Slurring Ms. Provost's name, and confusing Polytechnique with Concordia," he wrote in a post on X. "Confusing one of the worst massacres in Canadian history shows a devastating lack of knowledge of the history of Quebec and Canada. Ms. Provost is not just an activist: she is a survivor of the Polytechnique tragedy, where 14 women were targeted and killed for one reason only: because they were women."

Since the attack, Provost has helped spearhead the effort to crack down on firearms in Canada. Per Radio-Canada, she recently suggested that if Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives win, activists would "lose 35 years of fighting."
