We were neck deep in debt before Dorian ever struck, this silly idea of blaming Dorian for what 55 years of deficit spending has done to us needs to stop now. Unfortunately, Davis nor Pintard will ever own up for the failed fiscal policies pushed on us by the governments of both parties.

When are they going to start hanging these bastards? Why are we wasting our tax dollars feeding the people that do this?

Interesting how all of the blame is on the gun and not on the certain demographic that is always involved in these crimes.

These are two separate issues really (foreign investment vs migration). Foreign investment is great, but we absolutely do need to be mindful of who we are selling our land to and what kind of influence they will have on this country. Nygard, for example, was an international stain on the Bahamas that did much to bring back the "nation for sale" reputation that we are infamous for. Nothing wrong with vetting who is investing here (ie. buying control over the government).

When it comes to the migration issue, it really is not that hard to solve. Really all that needs to be asked is what citizenship did your parents hold? If they were Haitian, congratulations you are Haitian and have zero claim to any citizenship here. I don't know why so many people feel that someone is entitled to citizenship just because you happened to be born here, our laws do not work that way. The authors of the constitution really had their thinking caps on for that issue as it is the only thing stopping us from becoming Haiti 2.0 with all of these anchor babies; it is a crying shame that no government since then really has had the balls to enforce the law as it is written.

Baloney.

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.
