Too tough to travel
I AM writing to express the frustration of my wife and myself about the increasingly difficult and time consuming requirements to enter The Bahamas.
The failures of all our utilities
SINCE the beginning of COVID-19 awareness in this country, companies have had to adjust the way in which they operate. Everyone understands that and so I was prepared to give them a certain amount of adaption time so they could work out the kinks. But here is my problem:
Population density is the problem
Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis’ revelation to the country that one out of 100 Nassuvians has been infected with COVID-19 is evidence that the current restrictive measures have failed miserably to curb the spread of the deadly virus, which has claimed the lives of 96 Bahamians.
‘Leave Church alone’
I concur with the article of Thursday, May 28, 2020 in the Nassau Guardian by Bishop Walter Hanchell. The Prime Minister has indeed been extremely unfair to the church. I concur with the position of Pastor T G Morrison who stated that the government does not have the power to tell the church what to do. He is indeed a brave bold warrior for Christ. This repeated stance indeed.
Killing fields of Nassau
Crime does not belong to any political party as it affects all Bahamians without regard to race; politics or creed. The recent uptick in homicides, especially involving young children is troubling and a matter of grave public concern.
Fanfare - but still restrictions
How disappointing to read in your news this morning that restrictive measures will still be in place to enter The Bahamas as of November.
Sorry state of policing
That Bahamian police see themselves as a “force” rather than a “service” is one of the most repugnant and backward features of life in The Bahamas today.
Teachers are precious treasures
IT is unquestionable that teachers promote the best habits of independent thought and learning in pursuit of excellence.
Drilling for oil in The Bahamas
The rest of the world is finally catching on.
Fair play for all, Dr Minnis
Please allow me an opportunity to comment on the Prime Minister’s call for fair play in the global financial arena while addressing the United Nations (UN).
Travel rules ill thought
AS A long-time regular visitor and winter resident of Nassau from Toronto I have been following your ongoing articles and letters concerning the entry requirements for The Bahamas. The Finance Minister keeps making financial projections for tourism and The Tourism Minister keeps making ongoing rules. Yet the people affected by these rules – your prospective visitors– largely remain unconsulted.
Coconut street vendors
When are we going to regulate the coconut street vendors?
The Church and the Pride
THE Bible has a million different interpretations. Jehovah Witnesses found some obscure text in it reference mixing blood and they will quite literally allow their children to die rather than giving them a blood transfusion. Personally that sickens me.
Church and Pride divided
Pride Bahamas organiser Alexus D’Marco told the two major dailies that her organisation’s LGBTQI+Pride 2020 will go on as planned, albeit virtually, due to the social distancing requirements brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Do the right thing - stop oil drilling
The Bahamas has been inundated with many who would seek to exploit us. Lord knows who may be involved with the “proposed oil drilling” from behind the scenes.
