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: I have a lot of respect for Ed Broadbent, but as long as the NDP are in the pocket of the unions, especially the public service unions, having them form a government would be very very dangerous. Unions are as bad if not worse than large commercial interests. Unions are more hypocritical, self righteous and less accountable to their stakeholders than their business counterparts.

A: Non-threat

Q: Comment: "Canada may end up being just a large Puerto Rico"
This is one of the most inane posts I have ever read.
Puerto Rico is part of the U.S., Canada is a sovereign country.
Puerto Rico is a small island. Canada is world's second largest country by size.
Canada is the 10th largest economy in the world, Puerto Rico #60.
Puerto Rico has had negative economic growth for nine of the last ten years, dwindling population, massive economic problems.
With 4.2 projected growth this year, Canada leads the G-7.
It's like comparing the muscle strength of my grandmother to the entire New England Patriots team.
Unbelievable. Your statement makes rational discussion impossible.

A: Non-threat
