Even the COP distancing himself from this train wreck

This woman was very quiet during the FNM and the doc disastrous term she use to delight
in calling MR: Christie "The Emperor"

So she did not like the performances too bad and too sad.

The mean old spirit is back

it is my hope she remains perturbed, full of anxiety concerned and unsettled

FNM bin gone from Sept 16th they gat nuttin to do with this

If more people understood planning they would realize the FNM has everything to do with this. This was 6 years of "*preparation*".

The FNM should be able to have a press conference and pull out their plan dated January **2018** and from it read from their Human resources Plan. It would list all of the roles needed to pull this project off from start to finish including a full listing of the roles needed for Bahamas Day. They would be able to show that they had specific criteria for selection of every single person going on the trip and they would then be able to pull out the Budget associated with this specific item. They could then show how the PLP went off the rails and just selected some people they know with no kind of plan.

The fact that we have to wait for anyone to produce any report is very telling. At minimum they should have been able to say from Friday at 9AM, we havent consolidated January's numbers as yet, but here's the monthly status update for December

Where was the Delivery Unit? The Project Mgmt arm of the govt created for this specific purpose? 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021

We just accept crap and call it "*the other Party do it*"

The 2018 plan was shelved after the pandemic hit and there, on the shelf it stayed until the PLP took over.

Excuses for mediocrity

Yes I heard Diggiss say the budget for the sustainable climate change structure had to be adjusted. That would not affect the plan or the budget for Bahamas Day.

And you know the funny thing about plans in changing environments? They get updated and then reported on at regular intervals. Halkitis is saying it'll take him a couple of weeks to produce something. This is unacceptable. Hotel, food, plane ticket, ground transportation, per diem, wardrobe, freight and packaging fees. They must have an approved list of who travelled, in what capacity and for how long

(Id like to know how we went from addressing climate change with sustainable solutions, directly addressing the goal of the expo, to it being solely a marketing project and song and dance showcase)

All the sour grapes rolling off the wine press. All at once. Culture is multifaceted and cannot be contained in a cardboard box. No one person can decide what is appropriate or inappropriate. If the Arabs approved the performances and allowed them to be displayed, then why should Bahamians have an issue?

Minnisitis team picking at straws for legitimacy. Just shameful this blackcrab syndrome. The hate Brave press is huffing and puffing full steam to create division and hatred. How insanely they rant on as children cannot be educated going into three years. Guess they will find energy to grumble and complain as this is the only way to get on the popular stage and this negative spirit puts so much fear into prospective Bahamian creativity. Performers putting down performers all representing One Bahamas. Lift up your heads Bahamaland.

Personal grievance fire storm by the press has become a national alarm just farting a firestorm. And we wonder why our artists can only become affirmed by the outside world. We are such a jealous breed of people so willing to riot and teardown persons spirits. We have no opinion of Bahamian in the mirror unless it is negative. This self hatred of Nationhood prefers Colonial masters to impose what should be accepted upon us. It is Brave to represent one's country and can be done from home,but we are not talented enough to project to the world.

they can have at it as long as the covid restrictions are gradually lifted.

This woman has to be crazy, we were not displaying the UAE Culture. We were displaying our culture. Ask these same women about what they think about women rights in UAE and they would respond in the negative but with the same mouth is asking our women to behave like UAE women when displaying our culture in the UAE. Insanity, Tribune knows how to pick them to try embarrass the New Day!!!! We are no longer lost, thanks to DOC.

Its their country. **I understand some persons in the delegation got in serious trouble for behaving as you suggest**, like we free to do anything we want in their country irrespective of **their** cultural norms.

Im sure you've seen Hillary Clinton wear a scarf when she visited Muslim countries. She did not say I'm Secretary of State of America. If she from Great America with nuclear bombs and battleships can abide by customs, who are we?

... there has been an erosion of the concept of respect for decades now. People believe they can do as they want when in other countries and that is simply not so. Anyone who has traveled beyond Miami would know that. Burnside is right, this was totally culturally inappropriate. You never insult your host, ever!
