Keep govt out of Airbnb
I was quite shocked at my friend Mario Carey’s admonition in Friday’s Tribune Business that “the Government should get a handle on Airbnb because it is doing so well”.
Majority Rule Day
JANUARY 10, 2017, will mark the Golden Anniversary of Majority Rule, in The Bahamas.
Who is a fitting leader?
As you are no doubt very well aware, social media is bursting with discussions of Bahamian politics, and more so the disgraceful Opposition politics.
Slow registration
I write in reference to the slow registration of voters for the next election.
Show me that I am wrong
OPEN response to Branville McCartney’s “It cannot be business as usual” for country’s finance woes. As reported in Tribune 242, December 20, 2016.
Credit downgrade
I WAS was just reading up on the Moody’s and S&P’s downgrade from their official website.
Obama’s foreign policy
The US abstains in the UN Security Council on the Resolution on Settlements in Israel.
Government behaviour
“Disappointed” at The Bahamas’ creditworthiness downgrade to junk status? Is the current government serious, when this fall from grace was foretold by the international agencies who make these decisions?
A house divided
It is so sad to witness the abject melt down of the once fabled Free National Movement under the debilitating and slash and burn style of leadership by Dr. Hubert Minnis (FNM-Killarney). When he was first elected many persons inclusive of myself, held out high hopes for him. Alas, he has proven to be a literal disaster and a whirlwind in a tea cup. The party of Sir Cecil; Sir Kendal and Sir Arthur Foulkes is no more. Minnis and crew have emasculated the party and gutted it like a fish.
Excuses, excuses by the PLP
NEW Year’s 2017 is coming up fast so we have to look back through 2016 or as 2017 is Election Year forward, even Christie can’t stop that or postpone it like he has the PLP Party Convention.....it’s coming! Imagine no Convention for nine years?
Hoping for change in the PLP
WITH the collapse of the opposition it seems clear now that Perry Christie will have a third term as prime minister. His government has been poor at the job, but at least the PLP is a coherent party.
Christmas decorations
WHAT a shame that only one person/business benefited from the ramshackle Christmas decorations instead of us using this time for the sharing of good will, which would actually embody the spirit of Christmas.
Confusion ahead
HUGE BALL OF CONFUSION
Shock and awe or lunacy?
As a progressive Bahamian I am deeply shocked and awed by the demonstration of pure and unadulterated political lunacy by the newly ‘appointed’ Cinderella. There are some people who still have faith in the judgment of Loretta Butler-Turner I am not one of them. This woman was offered a chance, on a silver platter, to become the leader of a major party and to become, worrisome but possible, the first female Prime Minister in her own right.
Silly season
Two momentous seasons are upon us - the restive season and the festive season.
