Brave is really underestimating the stubbornness of Bahamian people, we have said we don't want your poison and we mean it. He will just get the Minnis and Perry treatment if he does not learn.
You will live like Abaco did for quite a while after Dorian : slop water to flush toilets and bathing out of a bucket or solar bag. Invest into a cistern if you can afford it.
I don't know why this is so hard to understand : laws are only as good as they can be enforced. A "law" without any means of enforcement is quite frankly a piece of paper that has no bearing on reality. Who is going to hold the government accountable? Quite frankly, no one will, simply because they have no one to answer to. They have free license to do whatever they want and no one can stop them.
The right to bail is a hallmark of a free society, kudos to the Privy Council for reiterating that. Quite frankly speaking, those of us who cannot live in civilized society need to go off and form their own. This trend of wanting to strip away our rights due to the actions of a very select demographic of people is concerning, to say the least.
Also, did not see any mention of it in the Tribune, but the "wrong result" remark from Pinder regarding referendums was completely unacceptable. The government derives power from the people and does not have any authority on it's own, it is the height of arrogance and hubris to say that the opinion of the Bahamian electorate expressed via a legitimate referendum is "wrong". As we saw a decade ago, Bahamians expressed the "wrong" opinion voting against the legalization of numbers houses as well. Quite frankly, what is the point of voting if our voice will be ignored anyways? Just more evidence that the PHellP have not changed one bit, and we can expect Davis to be just as unpopular as Minnis was by the time the next election is called. Calling it now, 30+ for the FNM (even though they don't really deserve it).
Aside from the stupid lockdowns and asinine mask mandates (what most people ignore anyways), the Bahamas has been relatively sound minded on the COVID hoax. Compared to Kookada where you could not fly, work for the federal (and many provincial) governments, go to a restaurant or gym, study in university (even online courses), and more unless you took the clotshot, or, even better, have your bank account frozen for protesting against the stupid mandates well after the clotshot was proven to be ineffective, I would say that the Bahamas was a bastion of freedom. As usual though, we are behind the curve on lifting the mask mandate.
Oh, I agree with you that the PLP is selling dreams, but it is a bit hypocritical to talk this way considering what went on during the last administration. To be frank, I really don't expect either party to get the fiscal situation under control. Imo, it is too far gone.
> “The world is suggesting that we should absorb all of those who leave Haiti. That’s what they will say to me,” Mr Davis said during a press conference last month.
Who is "the world"? Kindly forward on every Haitian we catch to whoever "the world" is please.
Yet the government has enough money to hand out political settlements like candy and pay Rodney Moncur a big paycheque to do nothing. Abaco is the boating capital of the Bahamas, I think that the cost is well justified considering the volume of diving activity in the area. Nobody cares until it affects them or someone that they know.
