Abaco's sorry trailer
The most recent back and forth about the unfortunate, insensitive and cold state that the people of Abaco find themselves, are through no fault of their own.
Winning Rasta vote
Expressing his support for the decriminalisation of marijuana, Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis may have endeared himself to the Rastafarian community, particularly Bobo Ashanti members of the late Prince Charles Emmanuel Edwards’ Ethiopian African Black International Congress (EABIC). To the Rastafari, marijuana is a sacrament.
It's our job to hold the police to account
The Commissioner of Police is complaining that this village is producing so many idiots that he is obliged to lower his recruitment standards.
Election will tell us
Seeing that, before their appointment, the closest most FNM cabinet ministers would have come to the first class world travel they are now enjoying would have been a weekend at Day’s Inn in Fort Lauderdale, there is perhaps some truth to the PM’s assertion that his government has “uplifted the poor’’.
Abortion brings Haitianisation of The Bahamas
The Bahamian champion and liberal advocate of women’s reproductive healthcare and Nassau Tribune columnist, Alicia Wallace, by calling for the decriminalisation of abortion, reminds the writer of Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger.
Custodial sentences
The current debate on decriminalisation of offences involving small quantities of marijuana leads us to a much larger issue which simmers in our country. And that is the jailing of our citizens for minor infractions of the law.
Confidentiality
Can a senior Government official or a past one confirm that communications to a Minister are always accepted as being confidential and contents may not be publicly disclosed without the sender’s prior agreement or approval?
Enjoying life
Our Almighty God created all life and He wishes for us to enjoy His gift of life, and to be happy. Believers in Christ recognise that a key component to enjoying life is to have a wholesome and close relationship with God.
Who's on Pointe duty?
The Pointe Heads of Agreement (HOA) was signed on June 18th, 2015 but held before being tabled on January 2nd, 2017 (election May, 2017) Article: 3 of HOA requires the developer to sub-contract 40% of the gross value of the development construction…does anyone at OPM – Works know what portion was?
We should be compelled by our values
The imperceptive neo-conservative from the north, Kevin Evans, proved yet again that talking fool is a very serious thing.
Unwanted rather than unborn
Re: ‘There’s No Choice’
Abortion on demand is just murder
I must commend The Tribune for its stellar job in engaging in investigative journalism.
We must reduce CO2 emissions
So single plastic bags and items are banned with brilliance we introduce a reusable bag of plastic material content you really think those bags are not going to be left on the beach or dropped into the water? Do they biodegrade? Then what do the environmentalists propose? We get rid of those bags which were the substitute for the old food store bags? Try again?
Campaign financing should be published
Campaign financing is spending money to influence a political vote for a candidate or a referendum. Political parties and candidates need money to publish their platform, offer incentives to vote, and inflate their suitableness for political position. The aphorism whoever has the gold makes the rule is normative, globally and locally. To limit the influence of money to dictate the decision making process for who gets elected and what they do when in power is paramount.
We need our own airline
THE national airline of The Bahamas – Bahamasair – has been operating for decades in the ignominy of being a “burden” to the citizens of the Bahamas. We hear the narrative all the time “shut it down” when the facts remain that the airline is a tool that has not been utilised effectively to assist in the growth of the Bahamian economy, instead it has been a convenient tool used by the politicians who hypocritically lambaste its lack of performance from the confines of the House of Assembly.
