We need to have global community

How sustainable is the present socio-economic system of things in small island developing nations like The Bahamas?

Pandemic reminds us that God is sovereign

The Nassau Tribune has reported that a 61-year-old Nassau woman has contracted the coronavirus disease. I am hoping that this breaking news does not spark a new wave of pandemonium throughout the nation. John Hopkins has reported, as of March 15, 162,687 confirmed cases of the COVID-19, with 6,065 reported deaths and 75,620 recoveries. What this tells me is that COVID-19 isn’t necessarily a death sentence.

It seems that no-one cares for the homeless on our streets

Usually referred to as vagrants, but it becomes obvious when you begin to interact with them, that clearly these Bahamians are operating under diminished responsibility ... therefore, what government entity is responsible to pick them up?

A new Sunday schedule

Earlier this month Catholic Archbishop Patrick Pinder urged parishioners with flu-like symptoms to remain at home until their health improved.

Expanding gap between rich and poor

Countries around the world face the challenge of financing the living standards of their populations while remaining attractive to international consumers of their goods or services.

Deserving an honour

Many of us know Wendall Jones is a draftsman, journalist, entrepreneur, media magnate and social commentator. Through his art exhibition at the Central Bank, we see him as an artist.

Drivers causing a hazard

I would like to raise awareness of one of the growing issues on our streets at night.

Bloomberg should stand here

I read the very interesting “Investing in People & Communities” - a Government Progress Report, which was an insert in your paper recently.

Spread of virus would be devastating

The statement that 400 will be the worst-case scenario for the COVID-19 virus in the Bahamas is totally ridiculous.

We need some commonsense

When will common sense return to the Bahamas or the world for that matter?

Benefits of home ports

Critics of the FNM who accuse it of being a reincarnation of the now defunct United Bahamian Party are in for a rude awakening when the details of the purchase of the Grand Lucayan resort by Royal Caribbean finally emerge. In fact, this deal (like many others) will likely confirm a vast difference between the FNM and the UBP.

This time, the US sneeze will be more than a cold

How many times over a lifetime has one heard the desperate sigh: “Oh, dear God, what is this world coming to?”

Why women should show support for this decade of action

I join people of goodwill from all over the world in acknowledging and celebrating International Women’s Day (“IWD”). The theme of IWD 2020 is: “I am Generation Equality: Realizing Women's Rights.

How tourism can help our students learn

Word has spread that this country is facing a so-called ‘education crisis.’

Following in the steps of Caesar

Re: PARADISE LOST?

Trump gets my vote

Some Bahamians seemed to have been greatly annoyed that US President Donald Trump had been acquitted by the Senate in the Democratic Party’s impeachment trial in early February, which was nothing more than a witch hunt aimed at bypassing the votes of 63 million Americans who voted for the Republican Party standard bearer in 2016.

Why the PLP should show its support for Monique

The PLP squandered a public relations coup and a chance to demonstrate that they are turning over a new leaf. Going in to the next election the party should want to show that it is open to fresh faces, especially women.

Time for Straw Market vendors to do better

Not surprised that the Straw Business Persons Society is upset with Works Minister Desmond Bannister and the Straw Market Authority for making the unpopular decision to close down the market for much needed maintenance work. With the Spring Break season beginning this week, the scheduled closure between February 23rd to February 29th couldn't have come at a more inopportune time for irate straw vendors, who are carrying on like they are living from hand to mouth, which is difficult to believe, seeing that the rental fee at the market is only $37.50 per week.

Immigration measures

Usually, from the general impressions garnered from these articles entered daily in newspapers, it appears that many of them lack the want-to-help-scenarios…not my articles is fair to say.

Did Minnis snub GBPA?

I couldn’t help but notice that none of the executives of the Grand Bahama Port Authority (GBPA) were in a photo with Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis and several Free National Movement (FNM) Cabinet ministers, Lucayan Renewal Holdings Chair Michael Scott and Royal Caribbean and ITM officials at the official signing for the Grand Lucayan Resort.

Undermining of the South Andros MP

The constituency of South Andros is considered by many Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) supporters to be a low hanging fruit for the political organisation, having been represented by Sir Lynden Pindling from the 1960s till his retirement in 1997.

Time to buy gold

THE Corona virus spreading globally caused the US Federal Reserve to lower interest on March 3, 2020 by 0.5%. This was to help the economy and stock market. Ironically, it had the reverse effect.

Crisis of the Constitution?

It is very disappointing and disheartening to observe the level of disrespect geared toward the supreme law of our country.

Beware of fake progress

LESS than a generation ago, a (male) candidate for the US presidency who proudly referenced his husband at every opportunity would have been seen as a radical departure from the mainstream, to say the very least.

Shame on govt

My name is Bianca Smith and I am an eighteen-year-old Bahamian student, studying in an international school abroad and I am the daughter of Mr Toby Smith, the future lighthouse keeper for Paradise Island Lighthouse and Beach Club.
