A question about Michael Zehaf-Bibeau

Does anyone know what happened to the so-called incriminating video he made? The one where he supposedly confessed a religious-political motive, which, in part, provided Harper's justification for increased surveillance?

A few days after the shooting, the RCMP said it would be released, but then they said they were reconsidering.

Without that video, I find it very hard to believe that Canada's most famous Islamic-terrorist attack is anything other than the work of a mentally unstable lone gunman. And yet, I occasionally hear people (ie, news people and gov't people) reference this video as proof of a terrorist link.

and will not release it to the public s we will not be allowed to judge for ourselves. What we do know about Bibeau so far is that he was troubled, was radicalized and was an unstable lone gunman.

The video should be released and I hope the decision to withhold it from the public will be reversed otherwise questions like yours and mine will remain for sure.
