Birdie your grade "D-" average continues to shine through.

URCA needs to do its job and penalize BTC heavily.

URCA is supposed to protect the consumer and make sure that BTC does not continue this foolishness.

It was Hubert who sent over a Billion dollars of investment to the Cayman Islands in his last term.

These old ideas are killing our economy. We must revive the economy and this new legislation is a good start.

The Minister is correct. If we don't make reforms we will quickly become another Haiti, just look at the IMF reports.

Wow, scared of competition. Are the Union leaders saying that Bahamians are not capable of performing as well as those in the rest of the world?

Remember, The Bahamas is the ONLY country in the Western Hemisphere which is NOT a member of the WTO.

Mr. Bodie the proposed change of law is not ultra vires the Constitution. Furthermore, it brings The Bahamas in line with the 21st Century.

All good questions Tal.

It is quite apparent that Birdie does not.

What the new law does is a Christian act. Can't say the same for the so called Christian Council.

The local New Car dealers are not competitive in their pricing. That aside, if they provided an excellent service then perhaps a buyer could justify the expense.

BUT their service is poor. Half the time they can't fix the problem. It seems that their technicians don't understand the new computerized cars. They don't appear to be able to diagnose the problem that the computer tells them that they have.

And, unlike dealers in the US, they don't provide you with a car even though it takes days or weeks to fix yours.

There is talk of WTO, I would like to see these local dealers have some real competition and then they might start running their businesses a bit better.
