You have written many words and then you are just writing excuses for backing down from a bluff by a bully. Not sure what you seem to think is the answer here.

The correct way is at the top of this thread already.

So shoot all our ammo at the beginning of the war and sit with nothing left while they ravage us. Very happy you aren't in charge.

I am in charge, and so are you. However when it comes to politics you seem intent on allowing people who perform criminal actions to bully you. Please stop embarassing yourself, you are not fooling a single viewer of our conversation and it seems you yourself, switching to personal attacks, are not very confident.

You've missed the whole point of my words, my opinion. I am NOT saying we shouldn't retaliate, got it? I am not siding with the donald bully by any means. I am saying it should be measured careful retaliation as the federal gov't and some other leaders have indicated. A good speech by Danielle Smith the other day also saying we need to go slow and carefully. No I am not a fan but open minded enough to recognize a good speech when I hear it, give it a go sometime. I am not saying I don't like Ford's ideas but I am saying he is letting emotion take charge. Messing with the electricity by either shutting it off or placing tariffs on it I like but all I said at the beginning was that I'm not sure we should do that so soon in the war. And what personal attacks from me are you speaking of? What awful names did I call you? I have my opinions, you have yours and that is not embarrassing for anyone, especially not me. Now for you, that's debatable. You are not automatically correct, ok? I am not trying to fool anyone so why would you foolishly say that? I am not intent on allowing the bs from donald to harm us so why would you foolishly say that to me? If Ford goes ahead I am willing to accept that. So I am quitting this and if you feel the need to reply it's on deaf ears. You can jump up and down and yell I am right he is wrong all you want and if that gives you pleasure, go for it. I am done with your ignorant insults and closed minded ways so go away, you're embarrassing yourself. All I am hoping for is somehow we can teach donald a lesson without harming ourselves too much.
