We aren’t being factual because this is just arguing about a framing. In my framing, it’s too soon to call it failure. In your framing, it already failed. I think you do have a point there, our negotiations broke down earlier. I just think it’s still salvageable.
I do think it’s pretty strange to think that the government is literally not trying to win and the goal is to fuck with people. Sounds like conspiracy theory thinking. People of power don’t generally go about fucking things up without personal gains in sight.
I never said the goal is to fuck with people, I said it's a political stunt. Go argue with your strawman elsewhere.
I really can't interpret this in any other way, but I guess it goes to show how framing is hard to argue about
It's an antithesis, a rhetorical device.
Making Canadians the losers doesn't mean the sole intention is to fuck with people. I've already said it's a political stunt.
Thanks for clarifying. More of an exaggeration than antithesis, but now I get it.
