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:

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 hours ago

that's literally explained in the reply to the comment you screenshotted

[-] Jhex@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

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?

You actually did not, you pointed me to someone ELSE who corrected you.. but whatever, it seemed very clear you just got defensive and started insulting people, not interested in your opinion anymore.

Have a nice day

I've given you detailed explanations, and you simply ignored them. I asked you to point out what you disagreed with specifically, and you started dancing around that. Sounds like the answer to my question is that you are just trolling here, and you're not interested in having a good faith discussion.

Bye.
