This is a very good idea.Minister Pintard spoke on previous occasions,how the governments of both Bermuda and Barbados encourage the development of backyard farming.

Like I is always say,sensible progressive ideas take years to implement in this country.

I carry my aluminum cans to BHS depot for the last five years, Recycling should be widespread in this country.

Recycling is a part of the process of solid waste management.A lot of items that goes to the public dump can be recycled.But as usual,sensible progressive ideas take years to be implemented in this country.See the uproar with the ban of plastic bags earlier in the year.

That position was created so Cmdr. Bethell could leave the RBDF and serve until he retire to get his full pension.

The position goes against both the Police and Defence Act according to a lawyer.Politicians can get away with anything in the Bahamas. The media here in the Bahamas don't understand much and can't explain much.

All of the political parties in the Bahamas operate like private member clubs.
Persons are selected to run for a variety of reasons.A well -known individual advocated the development of real local government.The local government if organized with sense would serve as a training ground for national government. These politicians here could not last six months as county commissioners next door in Dade County and would not even talk about them being a council man or woman in a city like Toronto.

The Bahamas is a beautiful country.It is simply too expensive for the average Bahamian to live and vacation here.

I have vacationed in the Bahamas.I have gotten cheaper room rates in the US,Cuba and the Dominican Republic when I visited those places.Many Bahamians who go to the Florida primarily go to shop,vacationing is only secondary for them.

That was quick.I am confused.What caused this about turn?

They have competent civil servants in that ministry.He is just a typical bahamian politician who don't listen or understand sound advice.

The newspapers here in the Bahamas don't do much investigative journalism or follow up on their stories.

The information about those boat's purchases is right there in the ministry of finance and the cabinet office.That information was leaked to the Tribune and Punch by an FNM operative.The agent in this matter lives right in Barbados.The Tribune nor the Punch did not attempt to interview him.

He does a lot of procurement work for governments in the eastern caribbean .Damen Shipyards the builders of those vessels was selected by a committee of Defence force officers.

The Minnis government told the Dutch investigators ,they saw no wrong -doing in the purchase of those vessels.But they won't say that publicly.That is why the Guardian never bothered to carry this story.Every thing is a game in this country.

The government pushed to reopen for July 1st as it was the start of it's new fiscal year.The resurgence of COV-19 will put a big dent in their fiscal position and people's personal finances.

Persons are hanging on by a thread.Yet a lot of persons who live in their bubbles here on New Providence don't seem to know that tourism is basically our only source of foreign exchange. Our main source of stop-over tourists is the US market.Europeans and Canadians visit other islands in the Caribbean more than the Bahamas.

Very true.It is typical of the elites here in the Bahamas.There are some deeply rooted socio-economic issues here in the Bahamas that is making home ownership more difficult for the average bahamian. The elites here have not addressed them and have not developed any policies to solve them.
