Now Tal, you know better than that. There are absolutely no parallels between this and the Hawksbill Creek Agreement.
In addition, you are showing prejudice when you refer to Arawak Cay as Kelly Island.
It is just on 50 years since the idea of selling off the man made island to pay for the Nassau Harbour Dredging, so as to repay the money borrowed by the Public Treasury for the dredging, was abandoned.
Instead you might like to note that it was the beginning of the borrow and spend, 6 or 7 Billion Dollar National debt.
It is just on 50 years since the then new Government decided to put up a Bahamas Customs building on the site.
If the FNM had so much money why were they calling around, only two weeks before the election, for donations saying that the party was desperate for money.

A very good article. The very persons who Mr. Butler speaks of deserve to be Bahamian Citizens, they have earned that right.
After all, they are already living here and, in most cases have been from birth.
Lastly, we cannot send them to a foreign country as it goes against the International Treaties that The Bahamas signed many, many years ago.

What a good idea to be able to collect a car and get it inspected and licensed all at one time.
Got to wonder why there was no response to the proposal.

We need to put emphasis on Math and English and the sciences. If you can't use a computer then you are not really employable.
We need English to be able to communicate properly. We must be able to do simple Math.
We can cut out Religious Knowledge, as that is not required in the employment market, and use those class times for additional Math and English.

Social media played a much larger part in this election than most seem prepared to admit. The young Bahamians were at it 24/7.
There may have been adds in the newspaper, but you had to see the social media to see that there was a strong under current.
