I don't know why Bahamians still expect any better at this point. Governments from both parties have told us loud and clear that they are going to boongie us out of every nickel and dime they can to live large, and there is nothing that we can do about it. Barring major institutional reform, the Bahamian people have no power to hold governments accountable for their actions.

The Westminster system requires politicians with integrity to function correctly, something our nation sorely lacks.

This article is complete drivel. No one is forcing Haitians to come to this country illegally (and work illegally in many cases), steal land water and electricity, build a shack without a permit, and then cry as if they are victims. Try that crap in Haiti and let me know how well the people there receive you.

It sure is not Christ-like to come to another mans country illegally, steal land that you do not own, and then build a home without any of the proper documentation, and then pretend that you are the victimized ones. Stop blaspheming Christ to justify evil.

Tear it down. There wouldn't be a single word of discussion if a Bahamian was building a home without a permit on land that they did not own. Our governments are too beholden to foreign interests to ever be effective in resolving the domestic problems that we face.

Everyone and their potcake knew exactly what the PLP was when we voted them out in a landslide 5.5 years ago, yet Bahamians saw it fit to vote in the exact same people that they had just kicked out. Why is anyone surprised? More importantly, when will Bahamians give a third party a chance? Can't keep doing the same things over and over and expecting different results.

I can understand disabling commenting on the legal matters, but it seems as if all but the headline stories are locked these days. They aren't the first to do this though, this is a regular occurrence with the CBC in particular. The effect is much more pronounced in this country though because there aren't many forums for discussing Bahamian issues in a semi-anonymous manner in the first place.

This war would have never happened had the likes of Nuland and Blinken minded their own business and not overthrown the legitimately elected Yanukovych goverment of Ukraine. There is no way that anyone with sound mental faculties could expect Russia to allow a hostile puppet regime to be set up on its borders and not intervene. The same group are back in power in the US and they will get the WWIII that they are looking for; I hope they are ready for it.

If you really want to dig deeper into this conflict, read up on the Odessa Trade House massacre. There is a whole lot of backstory to this conflict that is not being touched upon because the people who own the media have an agenda that they are trying to push; this situation did not develop overnight. The only person better than the media at lying and hiding the truth is the devil himself.

I mean, I'm pretty sure that they probably perform crime scene forensics in these cases. There has to be a report drawn up for these kinds of incidents and I'm sure all of that is documented.

Body cameras should be standard imo, would remove all doubt about the situation.

A lot of businesses in this country still do not even accept credit cards as a form of payment, much less Sand Dollars.
