Cockney rhyming slang.  Cockneys will sometimes refer to their hat as their "titfor".

Short for Tit for Tat = Hat

These Cockneys are crazy.

Tit for tat doesn't mean 'revenge'.

Oh boy.  You're really drowning yourself here.  

Does it make it better if I swap 'revenge' for 'retribution' (your word)?  ?

Sort of - the 'equal' part is important.  This deal was equally bad for both, but necessary. And it's been explained. You don't really understand how english works do you

I get what's happening. You feel bad about yourself for having completely "lost" the rest of your argument and you feel bad about yourself for being shown up.  So - you think if you can just find SOMETHING! SOMETHING to be right about then MAYBE you won't be a total failure!!!!! 

So you search for some technicality somewhere that you can shift the discussion to... "HEY, THAT COMMA DOESN'T GO THERE!!!!!".  And try to win that. So you can sleep at night with your other failures. Your life is that pathetic, and you're reduced to being basically a grammar nazi to try to salvage your ego.

You know what? It obviously brutally important to your self esteem so fine, if it makes you feel like you're not a total failure, the dictionary and i are wrong, you're right. There you go - you can rest easy again

Except I'm not the one typing out paragraphs projecting how the other person is feeling, or how you're actually winning the argument by quoting the dictionary.  ?

Sure kid, whatever you need.

Here is why the public does not sympathize with PSAC. Interesting read and PP has to be careful with his opinion and comments. He needs Canadian votes, not just union votes.

I agree with most of that, but here's the problem: 

If the NDP won't support back-to-work legislation, and PP won't either, there are only two possible outcomes to this strike.  Either the Liberals will cave to the union and enrich their already over-the-top compensation, or we'll have a long and expensive strike and maybe (but doubtfully) the union will eventually cave. 

This is like a tragic comedy, with Pierre Poilievre endlessly (and mostly fairly) criticizing Justin's overspending , but when the latter finally looks ready to take a more fiscally disciplined stance on something, the former refuses his support in lieu of backing him into a corner.  What do you think the end result is going to be?  With no other options, do you think Trudeau is going to cave to the union, or try to wait out a long and expensive strike against what is probably a good chunk of his constituency? 

This, I think, tells us exactly the sort of politician that PP is.    

  

 

Yes. A smart one.
