Lead by example on masks
So many Ministers - MPs - spouses of Ministers - Beauty Queens - MPs getting married all should be fined for every breach of the still in existence protocol and requirement of wearing a mask.
Open schools
The mission statement of The Ministry of Education & Technical & Vocational Training, Bahamas is “To provide ALL persons in the Bahamas an opportunity to receive a quality education in an interdependent changing world.” I cannot think of a more true example than the world we live in today.
Around town
Sort of around town... the big McDonald protest at their Oakes Field branch seems to be all over as the line up of cars to their drive through lane certainly confirmed that.
Police are human
I am honored that you have given me this opportunity to say thank you to the Commissioner and the officers of the Royal Bahamas Police Force for all that they do.
Cannabis addiction
Contrary to popular belief, people can become addicted to Cannabis, just like any other drug. Continued, frequent and heavy Cannabis use can cause serious physical dependency and addiction. Logically we can see the government’s two-faced approach to the issue of addiction, health and safety in Canada.
Republic move
In response to the letter “Bahamas Republic” praising Barbados for becoming a republic I would say that it was done in the most undemocratic manner. PM Mia Mottley rushed through the process with indecent haste. There was no proper discussion and no referendum took place to determine whether the people wanted her republic. Leading citizens spoke out against a republic, including the world famous cricketer Sir Garry Sobers.
Bahamas Bowl
How many years have we sponsored as a “big Tourism event” the Bahamas Bowl… well like all previous years very, very few spectators and fortunately the TV producers avoided further embarrassment by showing the bleachers, but on one or two videos you got the confirmation as like the previous years… no one attended.
Stupid are we!
I see that the politics of remote learning is not keeping pace with the reality of it all. Indeed, virtual learning is a new cultural pill that many Bahamian parents will have to swallow, and adjust to eventually.
Don’t trust the hype
Certain business celebrities if they need a description, love the use of extreme superlatives to describe something they are just getting into, or even at concept stage, a thought, but it is already a world beater, will shoot the Bahamas ahead of the world, and, of course, it is already internationally famous hardly conceived.
A waste of time
Surely after four administrations spending millions on community clean-ups, someone would understand this is a useless exercise as the community messes up right after the last truck and tractor leave the area.
Sir Sidney a hero of The Bahamas
Sir Sidney Poitier was a Bahamas National Treasure and priceless Jewel to the world, which shared his God-gifted talent of acting with the world on the world stage on television and in movies.
Bahamas Republic
The reason why the UK keeps its antiquated colonial institutions relevant is by the awarding of various gongs - OBE, MBE and, of course, the top gong a knighthood.
Make the next act the best
HAVING celebrated a bountiful 2019 with unprecedented record-breaking tourist arrivals. We reaped the benefit of its harvest for the first two months of 2020.
Tackling rape in The Bahamas
A woman while walking to the bus stop was kidnapped and rape by an unknown assailant, a woman was raped in her home by an intruder, these are just a few of the recent reported rape cases in this country. Back in 2020, “reports of sexual offences increased by 34% with 213 cases, compared to 159 in 2019.
Majority Rule Day
