Honestly trust my students more than CBC on this. Multiple teen netizens telling me post is bogus. It's what you'd call an "orgy of evidence" in terms of connection to InCel. One extremely web savvy student told me, "No one uses that many 4chan + InCel keywords in one post, sir."

Facebook has confirmed it's real.

Yeah. I read this as well. Still want more information - i.e. his account could have been hacked, could have been shared - but seems highly likely at this point that the post is a legitimate clue as to his motivation.

CBC says still not known whether it’s fake. I’m inclined to think it is, but if so, SOMEONE was really quick to make that profile and post. As far as I know, that post was made before his name was officially released - but a time-stamp on the picture OF the profile would help

4chan trolls. You may remember them from such operations as promoting "free bleeding" to the radical feminists, and convincing major media outlets that the
hand symbol is white supremacist code. Personally I'm pretty confident it's a hoax.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

That reads like a classic 4Chan shitpost meant to rile up the media. I would bet good money it was a prank.

Very suspect. pic posted on 4chan puts the “incel” FB post at 2:15pm - if that’s ET, it’s bogus, as Minassian was arrested shortly before 2pm. Unless someone has another source, this reporting, based on one single source off a site known for hoaxes, is EXTREMELY shoddy.pic.twitter.com/m8p3PDVb7x

Guessing it's fake but it's hard to tell with major media outlets not receiving more tips and not investigating further. Sensational sells.

I was really disappointed by CBC for engaging in this sort of click bait speculative "journalism". Wait until police release details of their investigation.

http://archive.fo/LZBk2 <- circulated as archive version of his fb profile. 20 UTC would mean 4pm est, 2hrs before would be 2 .. he was arrested at 152 pm so FB would have to have rounded up “2hrs “ since post if real

Haven’t seen any US outlets citing it yet, which leans more to it being fake.

I read on a US news source (can't remember which now -- I know, not helpful) that said its contacts (or maybe just 1 contact) in Canadian law enforcement were vouching for the authenticity of that FB post. I assume Cdn media is hunting for/investigating the same quote.
