Constitutional changes
All of the Caribbean has a similar constitution that has a British design. It creates a society where a few elites control a majority of the resources.
Please rid us of Leslie Miller
Will no one rid the Bahamian political landscape of this turbulent parliamentarian named Leslie Miller?
Right and wrong
I wish to bring it to your reader’s attention that in this giving season we should all try to be as generous as we can as there are many among us who are on hard times. This is reflected in our crime statistics as many misguided persons take the only path they are able, to get “their share”.
On flogging...
Re: Munroe: Flog The Immigrants.
Bastian candidacy would be slap in face
The PLP administration reneged on its promise to abide by the results of the 2013 referendum on gaming by passing legislation to legalise web shop gaming.
A Christian nation?
If there’s one thing that angers me about this country we call The Bahamas and its people, it’s how we’re always prattling on and on about how we’re a “Christian nation”, and how we were founded on “God-like” principles.
The measure of a man
Legendary sailor and The Bahamas first Olympic gold medal winner Sir Durward Knowles recently celebrated his 98th birthday. This is an amazing milestone, especially when Sir Durward is still active in so many things and makes a difference in so many Bahamian lives.
We know not what we do
A poem of national reflection:
A personal view of Canadian healthcare
I have been following the current debate on national health insurance in absolute amazement. How can a consulting company come to our country and tell us that we should implement a system that has bankrupted other countries that are bigger and wealthier than ours? All the government can say is trust us, we would never do anything to hurt the economy!
Our policy on climate change
It appears the Gross Domestic Product of The Bahamas is too high to allow the country to get favourable financing to combat climate change – or so I read in a report from the Paris Conference on climate change last week.

Wasp nest in the diplomatic bag - part 2
In her new offices at Marlborough House, home of the Commonwealth Secretariat, Baroness Scotland will be in the neighbourhood of none other than Her Majesty the Queen. The Regimental Band of the Queen’s Dragoon Guards can warm up in the Baroness’ new garden before popping over to perform at Buckingham Palace. Throw in a quarter million dollars a year salary and the use of a posh four-storey flat in one of London’s best areas and you see the makings of quite a comeback for the once humbled British Baroness. It’s a long way from there to Melville Hall, Dominica.
Are expats still welcome in The Bahamas?
My husband and I, who hail from much colder and cloudier climes, have been thrilled to call the Bahamas our home for the better part of 9 years now. When we first came here on a cruise just after retiring it was like a dream, the most beautiful place either of us had ever seen.
Wasp nest in the diplomatic bag - part 1
It doesn’t take much to place a wasp nest in a figurative diplomatic bag and get Foreign Minister Fred “Supersonic” Mitchell hot under the collar.
Leadership of the FNM
With much acclaim and fanfare, Dr Hubert Minnis welcomed Renward Wells and Andre Rollins into the “Big Tent” of the Free National Movement.
Weep for the country
In your December 11 publication, Governor General Dame Marguerite Pindling has lamented that “somebody has fallen down on the job” and that she feels “like weeping” and the Prime Minister is “stunned” by yet another young life lost to violence and of the crime situation which now requires the government investing in security equipment in schools.
