Scotiabank is a business and as such operates to make a profit, unlike our Government run entities which appear to simply be used to employ political favorites however incompetent at the expense of the tax paying public. Nonetheless, Scotiabank has been a major corporate sponsor throughout The Bahamas and to my personal amazement operates with only 3 ex-pats on Work Permits. Yes, 3, now think of all the Bahamians employed today and over the years, together with benefits enjoyed. If anything, Scotiabank should be heralded as a model for our international commercial banking community, certainly not chastised, as believe me, they have options they can implement if they are made to feel unwelcome, which of course will only lead to more lay-offs, so think carefully before you criticize.
Never heard of the Guy, but looks like our internationally "unreknowned" Entertainers thought they could blackmail the Government into paying them over the top money to perform, when they should be eager and willing to support our Country in promoting an exciting new touristic product, so hats off to the Government and the Commission for protecting our tax dollars.
Country first "proud loud" before "and FNM", indeed if more had been understanding of HAI's style, he would still be PM, this is my point, we need to start "building" this Nation "together" instaed of "destroying" for sake of politics.
I am too patriotic to criticize our Primie Minister who I consider to be honest and dedicated to his function but unpopular by virtue of his style of leadership, which should be viewed as just that, style, not an indictment of the man's character, as he is clearly committed to building a better Bahamas, which is what we should "all" be about, not tearing each other a part in such a small Country, and to think I am viewed as clearly FNM, when in reality I am simply pro-Bahamas and supportive of whoever can make our Country the best little Country on the Planet, which I sincerely believe our Prime Minter is attempting to do and therefore worthy of our collective support, irrespective of party politics, hence a very much perceived FNM being prepared to support a much embattled and maligned Prime Minsiter for the sake of the Country and our future.
Problem with BahaMar is it represents a rich kid's dream funded by daddy's apparent endless wealth with absolutely no experience or management support to execute and deliver on a Project of this magnitude. Herein lies the "true" blame, not CSC, who are in fact the savior of this "dream" and without whom even daddy's money would have been exhausted by now. It follows that to blame your savior at this stage in the game is truly distasteful and demonstrates just how far the kid will go to cover his own shortcomings in a desperate effort to save his rapidly dwindling inheritance, ironically caused by his own ineptitude.
Thieving Teachers, what next, no wonder our Country is in trouble?!? One can't expect our Youth to sail a straight course in life if their Compass is crooked.
The problem with the "self defence" argument is that he used a .45 Hand Gun, which in itself is illegal and carries a mandatory term of imprisonment, and you can not shoot someone in the back unless they are fleeing, this was the whole Ferguson "Hands Up" issue, albeit dismissed by forensics.
She threw Pensioners under the proverbial Bus when they need health care most by simply abandoning them to die uninsured, so hopefully the "School" Bus will be so kind as to run over her twice! ... And, to think this all happened while she was pilfering funds, oh how sweet Fox Hill would be if only we lived in a normal country with check and balances.
what on earth deserves a bonus? The highest rates in the Caribbean, coupled with absolutely without question the WORST service, yes top of both categories, but deserving of FIRING, not bonuses!
