The PLP has no credibility to lecture us about crime
Twenty years from now, in 2037, Eugene Woodside Jr. could have become a member of parliament. Or been called to the Bar. Or started making doctor rounds at a modern Princess Margaret Hospital.
Douglas Manchester will offer our nation an opportunity
Soon, the United States Senate will likely confirm Douglas Manchester as the new United States Ambassador to the Bahamas. When this happens, Manchester will offer our nation an opportunity to move forward toward prosperity.
Let the powers that be start at home
Despite our sometimes selfish ways, the average Bahamian has a big heart and is always ready to be our ‘brother’s keepers” so to speak.
Govt to be commended for assisting Dominica
I am happy to see that the strong Bahamian tradition of assisting its Caricom sister states in time of trouble continues.
Chester Cooper Needs a Foot-in-Mouth Policy
Until recently the public could have been tempted to look upon Chester Cooper as a master of the insurance business and a student of politics. After his numerous bewildering utterances, we must rethink that position. He has come across as new to the insurance business, despite his years in it, and as an overly ambitious opportunist way out of his depth in politics.
Cost of doctor’s report
I am deeply concerned with the way that doctors are allowed to charge for a report after a patient has paid to see the doctor reference to a particular illness or injury.
A severe lack of critical thinking in education

IT was rewarding to read this thoughtful editorial.
My experience at Accident and Emergency
After reading an article in The Tribune, about how tourists were treated at the Rand Memorial Hospital in Grand Bahama, I decided to write about my experience at Accident & Emergency at Princess Margaret Hospital in Nassau.
Applause for Minnis’ Humanitarian Gesture
Events well beyond our borders can shape the term of any government for better or for worse.
Fred Mitchell’s hypocrisy on Dominica
In two non-consecutive terms as Foreign Minister, Fred Mitchell never passed up an opportunity to travel to the Caribbean or to wave the Caricom flag.
Advisors left the PM out to dry
Remember the “Bend or break” speech? Remember the “I will prosecute their backsides to jail”? Sir Lynden Pindling and Sir Cecil Wallace Whitfield....comments never forgotten.
Rev McAlpine lacks good judgment
Given his narrow-minded and ungracious response to the Government’s proposal to welcome some students from Dominica in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, thank God Prime Minister Hubert Minnis did not appoint Pineridge MP Rev. Frederick McAlpine to the cabinet.
Honeymoon period is over for the FNM
THE honeymoon period for the Free National Movement (FNM) is over and done with.
Where our own Christian values have gone
AS our Prime Minister sheds tears in Parliament over the distress of the people of Dominica, and fellow MP Fred McAlpine, warns that charity begins at home (and presumably stays at home), and talk show hosts rail against the inhumanity of a few uncaring Bahamians, who would leave the people of Dominica to stew in their own juice, The Punch today carries a story that tells of where perhaps our own Christian values have gone.
