Just in case you accidentally missed this news. I'll leave you to research the source of the quotes

*The number of Americans dying each day from Covid-19 now stands as high as it did during the Delta variant's peak, a grim figure that experts believe will rise.*

*According to statistics from Johns Hopkins University, the daily average of confirmed Covid-19 deaths surpassed 2,000 on 21 January and stood at 2,033 on 23 January*.

*The common thread throughout the Omicron wave is that it is largely impacting the unvaccinated, in terms of severity of illness, hospitalisation rates and indeed, risk of dying from the infection,*

For once I agree with you. Choice should be an option

As others have mentioned, the issue is with Canada, not The Bahamas. Visitors from other countries (including Europe & Asia), face the same entry requirements but they manage to make it okay.

Exactly!! I personally have been in & out of The Bahamas several times in the past year, and a couple of those have been to places much further away than Canada. I've always found the Bahamas entry requirements to go extremely smoothly, even if at first I was put off as they did seem too restrictive.

The issue is on the letter writers end and not on The Bahamas end.

Where the heck do you get your information from ? You're telling us that 2500 pilots have died from taking the Covid vaccines? Then, what number of everyday people who fly have died because of the vaccine? It must be astronomical !!

Of course it won't be on his watch. IMF wouldn't allow frivolous trips to Dubai. What a Richard Head.

Basic Finance should be a compulsory class on the High School curriculum **throughout the world**, just like Math, Languages & Science are. Get rid of some of those touchy-feely classes or Religious Education. Learning the basics of saving, investing, credit, mortgages, pensions, taxes etc. will get you a lot further in life, and be more useful to you in the long run, than any of those other useless classes.

STFU about OBAN will you. It's History !!!, We all know it was a Minnis/FNM cluster-F. Move on, if your pea-sized PLP brown nosing brain has the capacity to do so.

Why not try and contribute something intelligent & useful to these comments sections ?. You've been spouting the same political vitriol for years and, to my knowledge, have never contributed anything of substance to any of the discussions. You must have a very sad, sad, sad life if this is all you can contribute.

Hopefully the PM (and those future PM's) have got the message. Remember the government answers to the people, not the other way around.

So he's looking for potential overseas investors huh ? Guess, those work permits and concessions are going to be free flowing over the next few years

I think targeting the family islands for the marijuana farms is a great idea. Not only will it produce much needed revenue & employment for these government neglected islands, but it will minimize the impact of the smell, which would be a major issue in the more populated islands. If you've ever been to the US West Coast, where there is an abundance of legal marijuana fields, you will know how many communities complain about the smell of the marijuana fields 5-10 miles away.

There is also a less likely chance of 'poaching' compared to larger populated islands, where there are more criminals

On the down side, it is unlikely that The Bahamas would be able to export any product grown here, so as John says, the market will soon become saturated
