Managing anger in the time of COVID
I am not a medical practitioner so my opinions are just that – my opinions.
Entry requirements
My wife and I are and have been permanent residents of The Bahamas for the past 23 years.
It’s up to us over COVID
The world is desperate to find a weapon to destroy COVID-19, to which nature has given free reign to cripple, if not destroy mankind. Prime Minister Minnis is seemingly being blamed for not knowing what to do to halt the pandemic’s spread in the Bahamas, which is expected to get a second and even stronger life to take us humans down. It is up to us as to who wins this battle.
Drilling will destroy us
The Bahamian people have become accustomed to being shafted. Since time immemorial there has been secret deals where the people have been given the “stinking end of the stick”, an unenviable position.
Embracing Hinduism?
The Economic Recovery Committee’s recommendation that the Free National Movement administration decriminalise Indian Hemp (aka marijuana, ganja and cannabis) is a sign that the central government is understandably desperate for a new source of revenue. Committee members seem oblivious to the dire spiritual implications of recreational marijuana, apparently not realising that such a legislation would amount to nothing more than a formal embrace of Hinduism.
Take no joy in seeing suffering
Chief Medical Officer Dr Pearl McMillian’s announcement to the press that The Bahamas has experienced a decline in COVID-19 infections at a 50 percent rate between October 10 and November 5 is good news for a beleaguered nation.
Poor communication
Communication etiquette is certainly in the toilet these days, particularly if one is trying to communicate with people in government, who are theoretically “Servants of the people”. We have gone from the never answered telephones, to the voicemail expeditions, to email which sometimes will elicit a response and can be programmed to confirm receipt or even opened. No proof of reading, of course, and certainly none of comprehension.
It’s not about you, Mr Mitchell
Because of his decades of service to this country Darrell Erwin Rolle was deserving in death of the full glorious tribute and sendoff we typically give.
GB solution
I read in your paper that the business community do not have any ideas to improve the economy of Grand Bahama. There is a very simple solution.
The flaws in travel regulations
I am writing both as the operator of a travel agency in Ottawa, Canada, and the owner for a long time of a holiday home in The Bahamas. I regularly follow your news, especially now in the tourism sector.
It doesn’t add up
COVID19 entry regulation change
Time for tourism to rise again
“IT’S better in The Bahamas”! There was a time when we all truly believed this and it showed as the world marked the manner of our bearing. It’s time to believe again.
GB off the beaten path? Is that all?
Last week, the Government rolled out the “come work or study from the Bahamas for a year” invitation. A commendable idea to stimulate the struggling economy.
Two pandemics face the nation
Fundamentally there are two forms of criticism – destructive and constructive.
Freedom of speech in debates
“THAT the Freedom of Speech and Debates or Proceedings in Parliament ought not to be impeached or questioned in any Court or Place out of Parliament.” This quote from Article 9 of the United Kingdom’s Bill of Rights is the foundational law for the principle of freedom of speech in democratic legislatures.
