I'm not the one who put a time frame on it.

No but right-wing terrorism has
Quote:
accounted for the majority of all terrorist incidents in the United States since 1994. In particular, they made up a large percentage of incidents in the 1990s and 2010s. Second, the total number of right-wing attacks and plots has grown substantially during the past six years. In 2019, for example, right-wing extremists perpetrated nearly two-thirds of the terrorist attacks and plots in the United States, and they committed over 90 percent of the attacks and plots between January 1 and May 8, 2020. Third, although religious extremists were responsible for the most fatalities because of the 9/11 attacks, right-wing perpetrators were responsible for more than half of all annual fatalities in 14 of the 21 years during which fatal attacks occurred.

So, they haven't seized our country but if you feel more comfortable, we can refrain from talking about this until they do.

Right, because we are nothing alike and they don't influence us at all.

If you actually want a real answer to your typical pedantry, the US keeps much better public statistics that Canada so it's easier to find. Here's a study from Canada. Let me know if there's a spelling error somewhere and I'll ensure to contact the publisher on your behalf.

It's simply a very different threat in the US as opposed to here, not the least because of the vast difference in terms of the gun violence problem. If it weren't, you would have started with that publication you just linked, rather than pretending that the US and Canada are somehow the same country.

I note that you still haven't quoted anything from that study that suggests that right-wing terrorism is a comparable threat in Canada to the United states, and since I don't have time to read it, I don't know that it says anything of the sort... Does it?

I'd estimate that both have the same likelihood of happening.

Just ignoring the ones that have already taken over the UCP? But also, this is the wrong thread so I don't even know why it was brought up here, other than someone thinking they were being witty. He shoots! He misses. Very wide.

When you bump a months-old thread for the expressed purpose of dunking on another poster for making an failed hyperbolic prediction you probably shouldn't have any recent ones of your own. Try to be less of a dick please.

Perhaps you should read my thread title and the linked article again. You seem to have comprehension issues.
