In this task, you are given a public comment from online platforms. You are expected to classify the comment into two classes: threat and non-threat. Threat is a statement that someone will be hurt or harmed, especially if the person does not do something in particular.

[Q]: Comment: It is beyond me how the Vancouver Mayor can say, with a straight face: "Vancouverites are frustrated – particularly around housing affordability... We're working hard to deliver solutions..."

Hello?

"We're working hard to deliver solutions"?

Are you kidding me?

Look, Mister Mayor, could you please show me the news reports of you publicly and vocally demanding, to Trudeau and Couillard, that Ottawa and Quebec shut down the Quebec investor immigrant program on the grounds that it has flooded millions upon millions of dollars into the Vancouver real estate market?

See, strange thing, Mister Mayor, is when you Google, in the Google news search, the words "Greg Robertson" and "investor immigrant", you get ZERO hits!

And yet you pretend your team is working hard on house prices, do ya?

Dude, you have been so absent from solutions that your office is not even mentioned - not even once -in the online article summarizing events, "We’ve Let Vancouver Become a Playground for Plutocrats"!
[A]: Non-threat


[Q]: Comment: Talking to reporters on Air Force One on Wednesday, President Donald Trump said he wants the walls of his proposed border to be crystal-clear.
Because he's afraid someone on our side of the wall will get walloped with enormous flying bags of heroin, according to Business Insider.
After you finish laughing about that, please reflect on the fact that we really do have a president who thinks things like this:
"One of the things with the wall is you need transparency," he said. "You have to be able to see through it. In other words, if you can't see through that wall - so it could be a steel wall with openings, but you have to have openings because you have to see what's on the other side of the wall."
"And I'll give you an example: As horrific as it sounds, when they throw the large sacks of drugs over, and if you have people on the other side of the wall, you don't see them - they hit you on the head with 60 pounds of stuff? It's over. "
A truly unfit traitorous vacuous buffoon.
[A]: Non-threat


[Q]: Comment: It is several days now since the New York Times and the Associated Press published corrections to note that in fact only three of the myriad U.S. "intelligence agencies" agreed on the charges of Russian interference in the U.S. elections - not 17 as has been constantly stated.  Further, James Clapper himself has said those three "assessments" were written by handpicked staff.  Others in the intelligence were not so sure about it, as Trump himself has said.   
 Canadian reporters like Lawrence Martin, Adrian Morrow and CBC's Evan Dyer are either unaware of these important disclaimers - in which case they are incompetent - or choose to repeat the same old untruths - in which case they are dishonest. In either case, why bother to read them?

Non-threat
