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.

[EX Q]: Comment: Someone's driving an SUV through a retail establishment? You don't see a need to fire through the windshield? Cleanup in isle 3. I don't think so. Shoot to stop, that is, to kill.
[EX A]: Threat

[EX Q]: Comment: Add a little alcohol and shake gently. This is the face of FAS.
[EX A]: Non-threat

[EX Q]: Comment: I'm sorry, but people have been smoking weed for decades and decades. More thought needs to go into it? I'm sorry, but there's nothing carefree about the new legislation. It already addresses your concerns about operating motor vehicles, about who can grow it, who can smoke it, and where it can be sold.

There's already been a long consultation process. Much thought has gone into this. And, yes, comparisons to alcohol and tobacco were made. We know the dangers of those two substances and yet they are still legal. And most of the restrictions imposed on alcohol and tobacco will be carried over to marijuana. 

The Liberal government is not doing this to be popular. There seem to be plenty of voters who find this unpopular. And young people don't vote. So stop trying to turn this into a partisan issue. Harper would have been forced to do something had he been reelected, but all he did was kick the can down the road.
