All I implied was basically I’d vote for someone who promised to try

Where? you never, ever, said anything about voting. You simply threw the libs under the bus for inaction when the cons were pointed as the authors of this mess. Was I supposed to derive from that that you'd vote Greens if they promised to fix it?!

...and nkw you’re tearing my head off for being honest.

Where do you get that? I am perhaps more confrontational because when I ask for your ideas you basically told me it wasn't "your job" which I found rude... more importantly, again I also found rude you imply something is absolutely doable yet refusing to share an inkling of an idea how... and now you call me a hostile git (don't even know what that means) because I am explaining myself

It is easy to misunderstand TONE in written comments, much more so in short written comments. If I misunderstood you, I apologize. All I wanted was to get an idea what can be done legally about foreign ownership of newspapers.
