There are various people trying to sell eggs as "free range" etc. But who has the over site for this? There is no group who certifies them to be free range so how do I know what I am buying?
Standards are vital if you want me to buy their eggs. At the moment I have no confidence in what they are saying so will buy foreign, even if they are more expensive, until I am satisfied that the Bahamian product is what they say it is.
I stayed at Small Hope in the 1990's and was very impressed by the number of foreigners who stayed there for up to a week. They loved the place and many had been there 4 or 5 times before.
It shows what a wonderful product the small locally owned hotel is.By and large they are environmentally friendly. We could do with many more. They are the way to boost the tourism market.
These local owners keep the money in The Bahamas and need all the support that we can give.
The government must find a way to force the St.Georges out. The GBPA is not doing as it should under the Hawksbill Creek Agreement and its shareholders should be made to sell.
The young St. Georges are not capable to lead, they are holding Bahamians back.
The Harbour should also be taken from Hutchison. Their performance has been very poor especially right after the hurricanes. They are a heartless group of people.
What is interesting is that there are many capable Bahamians who are working in other countries. They are not coming back because the the climate of efficiency is not here. We also spend our time trying to bring educated people down to our own grade "D average" mentality.
Those Bahamians who are working in other countries did not need the Department of Immigration to protect them either. They got their jobs fair and square.
We need to change our attitude here at home.
I would open up immigration much more. We all do better when we have competition.
Oh my Bahamas, if you change the constitution you will breach those international treaties that your beloved PLP signed; they been fooling and feeding your ignorance for years.
Ever wondered why we still have a grade D average in this country?

A quick look at how they run their island stops will show you that the cruise lines have cut the Bahamian out. Just look at who is running the places.

This is why I have been saying that we could not afford NHI yet. We have to clean up the PHA and the Ministry of Health first.
The Bahamas does not have millions of dollars to waste.
NHI require that we fix PHA, Ministry of Health and, very importantly have an honest conversation about the mass obesity in this country.
