    Making ourselves more dependent on a hostile power is precisely what’s hurting us unnecessarily. Incredible that people can’t seem to understand this.

      So what’s your point here?

      IIT you are both arguing it’s bad Canada held onto these investments while saying Canada cannot actually dump them without hurting itself

        No, I’m saying Canada should not have continued increasing investments, which is what we did, and we should have been dumping them instead. And the sooner we start doing that the less pain we will be in long term. Let me know if any of that is still unclear to you.

          Hmmm looks like Canada has increased that investment for the last 4-5 years. Without this year’s report, it’s hard to see if we still kept that 4-5 year old strategy going or not.

          Keep in mind that, until the Orange Pedophile’s second term (so early last year), Canada was only paying lip service to moving away from the USA

          And yes, you are talking on both sides of your mouth… here you tell me this:

          and we should have been dumping them instead

          While responding to another person about the exact same “dump” strategy:

              yes, and you seemed to be arguing AGAINST that poster… hence my question

              Also, letting bonds expire is not selling them so again, you are talking both ends here

                You seem to be utterly unable to actually engage with what’s being said. Go read my reply to that comment. I’m not challenging that the bonds can be redeemed. Why don’t you actually address what I said instead of accusing me of talking of both ends here?

                  I posted a screenshot of what you said… and now you want me to find another of your post that contradicts it… that is exactly what I am pointing out here.

                  If you don’t want to be called out, maybe be a bit clearer?

                    Once again, I ask you to specifically explain what part what my argument you disagree with. I’ve already addressed the screenshot you posted. You completely ignored the rest of what I said. And I strongly suspect that you either don’t understand what I wrote, or you’re intentionally trolling here. Which is it?
