This is very positive news to hear, I just recommend that the Museum Admins, have an evacuation plan for artifacts during hurricanes as GB doesn't have a good record with that. As well as a heavy duty security system that will deter any burglary and proper vetting of anyone associated with the museum.
Personally I think a NP based museum would be better suited in terms of accessibility/visitation but then security wise GB is probably better.
Well you have a point on clothing and hair in this article but are bit off on language. You claim that not speaking Creole English is suppressing blackness when quite a lot of white Bahamians speak creole too(people who I know personally). So I am wondering when did speaking a certain way become a race thing, seeing how our creole is both European and African in origins. I feel like this is miss associated an American reality with Bahamian in that regard.
Otherwise I agree that Bahamians should be proud of their culture and heritage. Celebrating it not allow foreign norms to dictate us.
I think that the problem caricom has is it lacks any other Integration Institutions that can be separated from the CSME. One of the reasons the Bahamas wont join is because although, having a closer cooperation with the region may be cool, we don't like all the CSME entails .(Freedom of Movement Law). So choice is either jump quickly into a union with no adjustment or stay out.
Europe has ECHR, Schengen, Eurozone, The European Council, Eurovision.All seperable from EU institutions but based around it.
The Caribbean should have Caribbean council of all island nations/caricom state(like The European Council), A common security union for military defence, peace, stability, other security like food and energy (a Nato like institution only including Democracies so no CUBA), and perhaps a common Tax union( for low tax state) like the Bahamas and British Caribbean Territories.
Privatizing National infrastructure is a very tricky thing not to be done lightly. FYI BPL is already 49% private owned to 51% government. Just so you know if we privatize BPL you cant ask the government to stop the prices from rising so easily.
Hopefully this government converts some of the decay structures downtown into housing. We need to stop cutting down forest on NP and develop brownfield sites not greenfield.
This country need Food, Energy, Economic independence in order to truly protect Bahamian interest. unfortunately the government puts national security on the backfoot.
How bout we decrease shootings by going after the weapons smugglers. do exact what was done to the pirates. Give them a pardon to give up an help the police if they dont accept hang them.
If they want make money off of peoples death/murders they must get their return share of the pain they cause. There is only so much people in this country. So the rope will close in tightly quick, we just need to be serious.
