Crazy rules at RBC
HAVE no fear, the ridiculous is alive and well and it lives within the Royal Bank of Canada! Recently, the firm I work for decided to update their signatories (of which I am one) for their company accounts.
LGBT rights and US foreign policy
I READ the shock and awe on the recent UN Resolution but it seems it has missed your readers that it has been an “official Foreign policy position” of the outgoing Obama Administration to promote and cause acceptance of the LGBT Agenda globally - there is a full ranking Ambassador travelling the world promoting this.
Homophobic pastors and politicians
In a desperate search for political traction for his vanity party, the newly amalgamated United People’s Movement (UPM), Gregory Moss has decided to dispense with common decency and to pander to the homophobic fears of some Bahamians.
History of Majority Rule Day
We hear more than enough, in my view, about “Majority Rule” and its advent in The Bahamas tagged to January 10th 1967.
We March picks the wrong day
I AGREE that there should be marches, and because we are an extremely obese nation desperately needing exercise, there should be one every fortnight.
Rawson Square a detraction
I address the following open letter to Ranard Henfield and other organizers of the upcoming historic second instalment of the ‘We March’ movement.
Pakesia for Marco City
FNM should go with Pakesia Parker-Edgecombe in Marco City.
Young and afraid of the future
I AM a thirty-year-old Bahamian female who returned to Nassau five years ago to practice law after qualifying as a Barrister in the United Kingdom.
Gambling and the Bahamas Constitution
Recently, I read a Tribune news story about the Chairman of the DNA, Mr Andrew Wilson, not being allowed to gamble in a local casino. Included in the news story is this incorrect statement: “The main reason he was escorted out of the casino was because the country’s laws allow for visitors to gamble legally in casinos while Bahamians and permanent residents cannot.”
Shame at pro-LGBT UN vote
Recently, we wrote the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Fred Mitchell, concerning a December 19, 2016, vote at the United Nations pertaining to the appointment of a so called Independent Expert (IE) on protection against violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, in the person of Professor Vitit Muntarbhorn.
Wake up over crime
CRIME? If the Prime Minister, his Minister for National Security and the Attorney General have not been listening to the police reports following a murder then God help us.
National holiday full of empty promises
THE PLP making a national holiday into a political day is wrong in any sense of the word.
Barely believable
VOTER REGISTRATION -- BREAST COVERAGE
We must march
ACCORDING to Wikipedia, civil disobedience is “the active, professed refusal to obey certain laws, demands and commands of a government, or of an occupying international power. Civil disobedience is a symbolic or ritualistic violation of the law, rather than a rejection of the system as a whole. Civil disobedience is sometimes, though not always, defined as being non-violent resistance”.
Mitchell and Baroness Scotland
There have been a number of excellent letters in The Tribune about Baroness Scotland (the British person who purports, when it suits her, to have Caribbean roots) who is the present incompetent Secretary General of the Commonwealth.
