The first line uses the passive voice. Despite that it’s a clear statement.
The main action in the other two (“we’d take” and “we can’t comment”) are active because “we” is the subject and acts on the object. A negative statement like “cannot comment” isn’t passive voice.
Also, passive aggressive doesn’t mean using the passive voice aggressively. It means assenting to some encroachment in a way that signals hidden belligerence.
Hopefully that was helpful (passive aggressive! Sorry.)
