Man accused of attacking his father with hammer
A MAN was granted $3,000 bail in Magistrate’s Court on Friday after he was accused of attacking his father with a hammer.
Tribune headline
While your story appearing in the business section of Thursday the 15th September, 2022 regarding a recent action involving two erstwhile clients of mine was somewhat balanced in its content, the chosen headline (“Ex-Minister’s son Denies Land Fraud”) tends to suggest that I was either a party or defendant to the action in question.
Dear Mr Pintard
If you don’t support legislation allowing Bahamian men and women to pass citizenship to their unborn children, I will not support your party in the next general election.
Madness and folly
The proposed Martial Rape Bill is what King Solomon would refer to as: madness and folly, and a chase after the wind.
Water crisis
I would like to write about a crisis we are and probably will experience sometime in our lives. Something many of us take for granted, that of water availability and purity. There are 37 nations globally who are experiencing extreme water stress today. Seven of these nations are Caribbean. Water Resource Groups estimate that by 2030, if no action is taken, with the projected population and economic growth rates, water demand will out pace globally supply by 40%.
Marriage Act
Not wanting to get ahead of the discussion, but with the upcoming third attempt of amending the Marriage Act, we can presume that many of the “i’s” and “t’s” have been crossed and the passing will only be a formality after the planned symposium irons out the kinks.
The death of Queen Elizabeth
The international community continues to mourn the passing of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8 at Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire, United Kingdom.
Politics as monarch changes
Such a short time ago we lost our Sovereign Queen - Queen of The Commonwealth of The Bahamas - monarchists will mourn anti-monarchists will see an opportunity to lobby - push for the removal of the Sovereign as Head of State to a Democratic Republic like the majority of the Commonwealth of Nations.
Tribute to Omar Davis Jr
OMAR Davis, Jr, was buried peacefully yesterday. His death still haunts me. I imagined a great many are still pondering, still trying to make claims of his body in the attempt that knowledge may be found there.
Marital rape and history
Apparently, there is a lack of understanding surrounding the Marital Rape issue that seems consensual. We know what the problem is, and we have had documentation in place since 2009 to address the issue with the removal and inclusion of a couple of words.
Mackey St response
I am sure it would be understood and a natural reaction to say to the Mackey Street man, give it a rest, but all things being equal, that would probably just spur him on to continue his ill-disguised and ill-advised campaign to see Michael Pintard unseated as leader of the Free National Movement.
Pintard to stay
Please permit me a space to say a few short words in response to the Mackey Street Man (letter published in The Tribune).
The Queen: A life of service
Now that the late Queen Elizabeth 11, Monarch of The Commonwealth of Nations, is dead and gone to her reward, I find it very disturbing hearing and reading some of the comments being made by Bahamians and others around the world about her legacy. The woman is not even buried yet, but the uncomplimentary and gratuitous remarks have exposed our darker side.
Pintard will not lead FNM into next election
We are at nearly one year since the PLP was elected. Philip Davis has proven to be inadequate as a leader, as we expected.
Republic would not help Bahamas
In our mourning as a nation for our beloved Queen Elizabeth who served us with dedication for over 70 years the remarks to the Canadian people by our progressive and modern Prime Minister Justin Trudeau were profound: “So much of the endurance and stability of our democracy is woven into our Westminster parliamentary system, our Constitutional Monarchy and The Crown”.
