Darn

Whaat? They didn't really mean it after all?

I seem to recall a word for people who make threats they are not willing to act on.

Hint: It is not "serious".

Well, I don't know about you, but I am stunned, stunned I tell ya, that anyone, especially wealthy leftists, would turn down the opportunity to pay their fair share of their income to subsidize the health system waiting lists of the oh-so-morally-superior-European-style Canadian welfare state.
Just think, their moral rectitude would be impenetrable, they would stand astride the world like colossi of goodness and selflessness, having finally acted on their professed principles!
Frankly, I had expected to see a mass exodus not seen since westerners fled their oppressive capitalist police states for the social and environmentally sustainable harmony and security on the other side of the Iron Curtain...oh, wait.
