The irony of what you just pointed out is completely lost on the writer of this article. Virtue signalling is more important than drawing accurate conclusions using critical thinking in the mind of soft left neo-liberals.

The writer of this article would do well to remember that Canada's stringent gun controls did absolutely nothing to stop the mass shooting that happened in Nova Scotia about two years back. The shooter even used the big, black, and scary AR-15 that is banned by direct reference in Canada. Almost like criminals don't buy their guns from Walmart.

Americans have the **right** to bear arms. Notice that it is not **privilege**, but a **right**. Americans shed their blood fighting to have an independent nation, while Canada was a British dominion until the Empire was dead and could do nothing to prevent independence. I have frequented both countries, and have concluded that this is the reason why the mentalities of the people are completely different.

Also, please let me know how great immigration is for the millenials and zoomers in Canada. One look at the average home price in Vancouver or the GTA (or even Halifax now) is more than enough to show the wonderful effects of unsustainable immigration on an economy. Most young Canadians are completely locked out of the housing market while the Grits and Tories refuse to do anything about the issue because "racism" and "muh GDP".

We will find out whether Davis has control over his cabinet or not by the way that he addresses that issue. There is no way that something like that can go unaddressed while claiming to be in charge of the government.

Davis has to choose right now whether he is going to be in the mold of Ingraham who was in charge of his governments, or Minnis/Christie who let the lunatics run the asylum.

Not the OP, but remaining competitive is the primary concern. There are a lot of much cheaper destinations for expats to invest into that have stunning beaches. The kind of expats investing overseas are doing so to avoid paying Palm Beach property tax in the first place.

The real question here is why did they not have them installed in the first place?

95% of the buildings in this country would not pass inspection anywhere in the United States.

I was more so referring to how the police simply giving advice on how to stay safe is "victim blaming". Bad people are going to exist no matter what, taking measures for your security is something you have to do no matter where you live. Even the homes in Albany have security systems.

I think COVID deaths are overestimated, if anything. The testing methods simply are not reliable. Plenty of false positives (albeit there are false negatives too). Either way, I think it is time to stop counting COVID cases. We have clearly reached a point where it is going to be endemic, and the IFR is low enough to justify ignoring it completely. Just going to have to live with it.

When it comes to crime, no politician has touched on the root issue yet. You are going to have to fix the family unit in order to solve that issue (ie. bring it down to an acceptable level). Some people steal or sell dope to eat, not going to deny that, but the vast majority of these criminals are not raised in a proper two parent home with a mother and father, and so the gangs end up raising them. We are reaping the rewards of the over promiscuous and hypersexualized nature of Bahamian society. Children are giving birth to children. To fix this, the government needs to put a higher priority on encouraging marriage and restoring traditional Christian values in this society. The gender activists are not going to be enthused, but who cares? Our two choices are to reestablish order, or live with two a day murders, frequent armed robberies, and rape. Bottom line.

People just choose to be outraged over anything nowadays, the real problem is that too many people give the blue haired folk their attention. Ignore the attention seeking behaviour and it will go away.

All I'm saying is that it is a bit melodramatic to claim that "Abaco will be dead for years to come" if the deal doesn't go through. TC is really not that important in the grand scheme of things, and has been a dump for a couple decades now anyways. I am really interested to observe the dynamic between Kovats and the property owners if this deal does go through, TC is not a "resort" in the most traditional sense of the word.

Please, I'm an Abaconian, if Baker's employs Mexicans, TC employed just as many, if not more, Haitians. One is no better than the other when it comes to using foreign labour.

PLP is out for revenge over Shane Gibson and Frank Smith. Ingraham advised Minnis to not bother with political prosecutions, but he chose not to listen. The tables have turned now, and the shoe is on the other foot.

I'm sorry, I have to disagree that "Abaco will be dead for years to come". Will N. Abaco be a bit slow if TC Resort goes into the night, yes, but Baker's is far more important to Abaco and Hope Town alone attracts far more tourists than Treasure ever will. Abaco will survive quite fine if TC folds, it is more of a second home owner community than tourist attraction anyways.
