The Johnson's, who live not far from me, are a vibrant Bahamian family, with no special needs. If they wanted to go Canada, they could have easily purchased tickets without the "cry me a river" approach and applied for work permits or whatever type of visa is issued by Canada to Bahamians. They also lied when they said they didn't know anyone in Canada. But I will leave that as that. The sad part about this story is that there are genuinely many depraved individuals who really need help on GoFundMe. In my humble opinion, this will certainly cast a bad light on Bahamians. These first world countries already think that places like the Bahamas is like a village filled with ignorant people,detached from the rest of the world. (Then again, maybe that's what we portray ourselves to be)

Oh Tal, please stop! Dwight Strahan was on the radio right up until midnight providing the listening public with updates on Irma as it passed through the Bahamas. Next time turn your dial to 104.5 . But I understand, you're just an old, bitter person who is still upset that the FNM government has won the election. You and your kind could never get it in your heads that it takes more than the government to make a successful country. Oh and by the way, as far as I;m concern Juan McCartney is one of the best radio personalities in the Bahamas. He speaks truth! Some people cannot handle his truth, because they would like to see everything remain the same. Wow gone are the days of the free drug trade and talking shit on ZNS huh? Sorry the world is changing. Move along with it Tal, or you might become an old relic, drying up in your corner of used to be.

Very True

Amen!

Please show me where he lobbied for these exact policies.

Surely you don't expect for all of this to be done in couple months?

LMAO

Someone suppose to feel some sympathy here??? Perry, nothing you say can change the fact that Bahamians feel betrayed how you and your evil government robbed this country blind, while keeping the poor people dumb. I hope you and your kind suffer for the rest of your life. One down... several more to go!

Yes, cancel it!!!
Sometimes I am flabbergasted by the attitude of the people who are elected to represent the people of this great nation. Firstly, let us establish, officially, that Goombay is the national music of the Bahamas. Not "Junkanoo" Or "Rake 'n' Scrape". The two latter forms of music were once a part of other Caribbean islands, with Junkanoo even being a traditional festival of North Carolina. Goombay, however, was a part of the repertories of great Bahamian musicians like, George Symonette, Blind Blake, Joseph Spence, Charlie Adamson and Eloise Lewis,Maureen Duvalier, just to name a few. People came from all over the world to listen and or record these musical giants! The trend should have continued to today. But anyway, to make a long story short, simply promote our music, food and crafts through the Goombay Festival. That way hundreds of artistes and food vendors are employed during the slowest months and at the same time,our culture will be available to both local residents and visitors alike. This is music appreciation 101. Government, please think out of the box or try to at least be sincere about the welfare of the Bahamian people!

A...fuckin..men
