Hypocrisy of awards system
Queen’s Honours and now National Honours — who should receive them?
Let's stand together
Thank you for this opportunity of commenting on the recovery efforts following Hurricane Dorian’s devastating impact. As a second home owner in Marsh Harbour, I have recently returned from 10 days of recovery work in Abaco and am pleased to report that solid progress is being made following this unprecedented catastrophe.
Protocol, please
Oil spill at Equinor-Riding Rock conservatively 120,000 gallons of crude oil from tanks that were not built to withstand more than 140mph winds and clearly a low biometric pressure popped their lids spilling-spraying ‘000’s of thick black crude. Wednesday next when the House meets after Cabinet Tuesday I expect PM to advise that Government has discontinued all discussions with OBAN. If PM doesn’t then the public has to ask.....who are the people behind OBAN?
Time to stop drilling for oil
I find it extremely disappointing and sad that our supposedly educated Prime Minister does not have the fortitude and strength to quash the idea of drilling for oil in The Bahamas, immediately.
Question of insurance
Are vehicles and equipment of the RBPF and RBDF insured?
When it comes to Haiti, follow the money
In the search for motive, reason or rationale to explain the travesties, mysteries or controversies of life it is usually wise to follow the money.
Touched by human kindness
As I watched people dropped money into the receptacle it made me proud to be a Bahamian. And it gives me great pleasure in sending a big shoutout to the management and staff of KFC for the initiative they have taken to help bring relief to the victims of Hurricane Dorian.
Same sex marriages and abortion
A local “failed“ politician who postures as a minister of The Gospel, Frederick McAlpine (FNM-Pineridge) had long sought entry into the House of Assembly as a representative from Grand Bahama.
Christmas thoughts
I believe today the Bahamas Paradise Cruise Service commences...what a great Christmas present to our wholesalers and retailers.
The great equaliser
We were all fortunate to have had a lesson that we should have learned from. But judging from how we have been talking and treating each other, we still believe that we are in control and the we are better than others. We hate people from our own region, our forefathers, and most interestingly, our family.
Chipman's political judgement
Before he packed up his Georgie-bundle, threw a hissy fit and stormed out of the FNM, Centreville MP Reece Chipman should have bothered to learn a thing or two about partisanship.
Human rights
Good government is more than the use of sovereign power to create prosperity, productivity and happiness. Good governing is the imaginative use of intuition, skills and knowledge to administrate with the participation and consent of the governed.
Poverty in The Bahamas
Trade unions requests that minimum wage be increased to $300. Because the last increase which was in 2015 and presently stands at $210 is inadequate.
Change is the only constant
We had the 2008 financial crisis called the great recession. It was mainly caused by people not being able to pay their mortgage (home debt). Low interest rate was offered to people who would not normally qualify (subprime borrowers). The low interest increase and people could not meet their mortgages. Home prices fell. The entire US financial system went into recession and the rest of the world followed suit.
