Guess it depends a bit on how you define decadent...
If you go for the whole "in decline" meaning, then there is no doubt that it`s true. "Self indulgent"? Probably. I`d say that's more what the muslims are refering to. But then again, what's it matter that it`s the Muslims who think that? Everyone else thinks the country is in decline, too. Where's the headlines saying "This country is in a complete state, everyone thinks so, why have the government broke damn near every promise they`ve made?"
"They {The Conservative MPs} blame "woolly-minded" liberal thinking for society's sliding values."
100% spot on. It`s that sort of thinking that makes me vote for them. It goes without saying that if there is no deterrant, a section of society will do as they please... and it`s thanks to the liberal thinking that crimes now go unpunished, etc. I know that`s not the only issue they highlighted, but it`s all I`ve got time to mention right now.
"The policy has implications for Canadians who head for international destinations via big American airports in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and other major centres"
Not just Canadians. It may be a Canadian publication, but would it really have hurt to have put something more like "Foreign Citizens" or something?? It`s not like they are clamping down on Canadians in particularly. You`d never catch the BBC writing something like that... :)
