Based on their often observable actions, I always thought that many members of the Royal Bahamas Police Force lacked basic training in how to properly interact with members of the public. What I did not know was that some senior members of the force are downright stupid until I observed it with my very own eyes.
For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson.
The more things change, the more, unfortunately, they remain the same!
Recently, your Tourism Minister declared that he is “not happy with the tourism arrival numbers” and that “we are a glimmer of our former self”. Yet he and his Tourism staff refuse to accept any blame for the dire situation now facing the most important economic business of The Bahamas.
There are three key points that need to be understood which negate any support for oil drilling in Bahamian waters:
Our life journeys are seasoned with “Legends”. Yes, those special individuals who leave behind unforgettable impressions and meaningfully impact the lives of others.
The year 2020 will long be remembered, mostly from a negative point, so long as The Bahamas continues to exist. It was a year that may be termed annus mirabilis (a miracle year). I readily concede that one would hardly wish to refer to 2020 as a miracle year because for many it was not.
The United States Capitol Rotunda in Washington, DC, is where deceased prominent American political, judicial and military figures are laid in state, as a way of honouring them for their distinguished service to the nation.
I begin by quoting Isabel Wilkerson, Pulitzer Prize winning Black journalist and Princeton University professor: “Our country is like a really old house. I love old houses. I’ve always lived in old houses. But old houses need a lot of work. And the work is never done. And just when you think you’ve finished one renovation, it’s time to do something else. Something else has gone wrong.”
The discriminatory element within the Free National Movement (FNM) government’s Fisheries Bill, 2020 has caused somewhat of a brouhaha within its ranks, with East Grand Bahama MP Peter Turnquest and former Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham both expressing opposition to it.
My husband and I are US citizens who are honored and excited to be planning a one of many return trips to Andros to bonefish the unique waters of your country.
As A long-time visitor to Nassau I could not believe the comments published today in your travel story that Tourism Ministry officials “feel confident in the current travel protocols”. I am wondering if they are living on the same planet as the rest of us. What research was ever completed before the harsh tourist unfriendly rules were introduced?
Since 70 years ago the arms race between the USA and Soviet Russia began to spread like wildfire. The Cold War’s battlefield was forged by smaller proxy wars funded by either Washington DC or Moscow; but this has resulted in massive genocides that has killed over a hundred million lives, and destroyed dozens of nations.
How dare they? Talking bout there will be no Boxing Day Junkanoo Parade; talking bout there will be no New Year’s Day Junkanoo Parade.
In the very same week that his party announced an outright discriminatory policy . . .
Methinks t’was Dante, that famous Italian satirist, who warned that –
There has been much written about this topic both by those in favour and those vehemently against. While the viewpoints are usually well substantiated, I have not seen what I consider a business assessment of the pro’s and con’s. In line with this objective, I list issues below for consideration:
Yay! Road Traffic has opened its cashless inspection station on West Bay Street after many months of nightmares at the sports centre.
Is the Bahamas Government going to risk destroying The Bahamas $8bn per year tourism and fisheries sector ($80bn over ten years) for Simon Potters’ promise of $5bn in oil revenue that is based on a speculative oil well and a confidential oil deal with the Bahamas Government?
If I believed for a second that Hubert Ingraham honestly did not know better and really thought that years of complaints of Bahamian fishermen about foreign spousal permit holders in the industry (a phenomenon addressed in the new Fisheries Act) were driven by mere “discrimination”, then maybe I could see some point in his letter appearing in both dailies on the 21st December. But Mr Ingraham knows better.
After reading what Peter Turnquest, the Deputy Leader of the Free National Movement (FNM), had to say about a discriminatory provision against spouses of Bahamian citizens in the Fisheries Bill during debate in the House of Assembly, I was moved to publicly support his position.
It is my hope that the contents of this letter will not change my good relationship with senior management of our Royal Bahamas Police Force.
Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis recently stated that he is “totally against oil drilling in our waters” but claims the government could not get out of the contract that was signed with Bahamas Petroleum Company (BPC).
I am so pleased to be able to write this letter about my successful experience with Road Traffic this month!
I was shocked to hear the Hon Renward Wells, who is the Leader of Government Business in the House of Assembly, publicly berate Mr David Forbes, the Clerk of the House, for allowing a Private Members Bill to be read for a first time. Even though Minister Wells was seated at the time, in the moment of his anger and frustration he spoke loud enough that he could be clearly heard over the television.
