I never knew we had so many people in Canada wanting to visit the Bahamas. Maybe we should ban them completely? We don't need their money - plus the majority of them are white, and how can that possibly be alright? Did any of their ancestors own slaves? Perhaps they should have to prove their innocence in that regard before being allowed to come here also. A geneology test confirmed by Ph.D. historians?

While we're at it. Can we think of any other "rules" that we can put in place in our tourism industry than can obstruct movement and enjoyment? I'm sure we can. Come on people. Put your heads together, think of some wacky rules and e-mail your suggestions to the proper authorities. If we try hard enough, maybe we can get our visitor count down to zero along with our case count in 2021. Hooraaah !!!!

“What the study also found is that impact is even worse,when there is no access to basic information and communications facilities to provide living and vital information.”

This statement makes the logical fallacy of "proceeding from a false premise." There is no "living" during Covid, there is only existing.

Sometimes people have to lose their freedom in order to realize its value. This is the path that uneducated Americans have chosen. Thomas Jefferson said that democracy cannot exist in an uneducated populace. Sadly this must now be relearned over the next four years.

The virus closing down restaurants is hurting bald men more, true. They have enough dating challenges as it is.

Exactly, doesn't the Leader of the Opposition have the right to get someone on the phone in the UK? I keep telling Bahamians to boycott Independence Day celebrations, but they never do. It seems that a few beers and some chicken is much more valuable to them than their freedom.

"The Committee, in its report to the Government, had set the goal of increasing combined fisheries and agriculture output from $150m to $1.2bn per year within ten years..."

And how does that help us? There is probably a multi-million dollar fishing industry in the Philippines too, but what does that matter to me? How many dollars to I get out of it? Zero. The same here in the Bahamas.

The basic fact is, if you are unfortunate enough to be born in the Bahamas - then God help you (obviously he didn't help you by allowing you to be born here, so hopefully he will start now).

agreed. The laws which make it virtually illegal to pay a Bahamian a decent wage need to be repealed. The fishing industry and most other industries. If you are a Bahamian, you are expected to make $6.25 an hour and consider yourself lucky.

We can begin by banning all flights and ships from Europe (except UK which we don't have authority to ban) and give all of them 3 years to sell and leave. They are destroying us with their stupid tax laws and so-called money laundering laws. They will eventually destroy us completely. It is way past time to fight back, even with our dying breath. This may sound radical - but what they are doing to us is radical - and it just doesn't seem life threating or violent because it does not shed blood. However, it is in fact worse than any violence inflicted with a machete.

Mr. Turnquest should see the wisdom of this way of thinking now - but it is too late for him to act since he lost his position. He should see that those opposed to you will use any arsenal against you, whether or not it makes an ounce of sense. The allegations against him may be entirely false and unfounded. Who knows? At the end of the day, those spreading that info know all too well that the burden of proof is not on them. They knew he (or anyone) would have to resign in order to avoid embarrassment. That's how it works - and they don't care, as long as they win. The same with the EU. Do you think they care about the average Bahamian? Of course not. Yes, we continue to roll over and play dead like a well trained dog.

This violence continues because the leading countries of the world, such as USA, Canada, UK, Germany etc will not stand up and fight for change.

During these 16 days (at least) they should ban all flights from any country in which such violence against women takes place, and include a ban on all persons who have been present in any such country during the prior year. No flights, no boats, no nothing. That would include oil from Saudi Arabia and would cause a temporary rise in fuel prices.

There would be a cost to it, but realize anything that comes without a cost is soon found to be of equal value - that is no value. No pain, no gain - so to speak.

Where are the leaders of this world? Do they lead? Or do they simply warm seats with their derriere?

Correct. The big problem is that we have to wait 5 years in between getting rid of each group. Elections need to be every 3 years.

Maybe you are trying to "get position" when the Chinese Communist Party takes over? Lockdowns and removal of civil rights are just up their alley. You could be their errand boy.
