You might be islandboy too. Thank you Canadian opportunist friend of The Bahamas. Notice the fear mongering among all the misguided scientists. World leaders, the head of the UN, all asking for All nations to declare a climate emergency? Why do you side with those on the lowest side of the IQ charts? Oh, I do have an idea. You have a financial stake in seeing sea level rise faster. Why do you always get quiet Columbo when I challenge you to mutually expose our identities? What do you have to worry about?

How did that go for everyone involved?

"How anyone in your Ministry of Tourism could ever have designed such unworkable policies is beyond my imagination. I feel badly for all the tourism sector. "
We hire on political favoritism here, not competence or performance.
The Ministry of Tourism is only one part of this dysfunctional system. Trust me, it is by design unworkable and destined to fail. Akin to a septic tank, open one up and see what has risen to the top.

Columbo. Do you realize how many Canadian friends of The Bahamas are here, how many months of the year? Actually, one was just arrested in Canada, I hear.

No parellels. Of course not. Oil is a gift from heaven.

How well do you the US and its history. China ever nuked anyone? Nope. Never a dictator, I agree. But, the performance past and present is right there in the literature if you choose to read and learn.

Whether oil is found, or not, the "we" are flucked. You will be long gone.

As some more astute would say, it's ignorance that will take this country down
Have a referendum, like the decent thing they should have done in the first place.

Out of bounds? Drilling for oil as the UN calls for all nations to declare a climate emergency. Cool it? Who are you Columbo? I don' t see your contributions on any other issue. You will abandon this country without a peep once your drilling rig is gone. You are polluting The Bahamas by your very presence here. Go home. Take my challenge of disclosing your identity. Why no answer? What do you have to hide?

If some man came into your home with spoken intent to rape your mother, or your wife or your daughter, what would you do? What is the difference here? The "drilling" they will be doing, deep into our mother's womb is no different. We have merely deadened our intellect and our soul, so that we do not feel what we are allowing to happen. Do Bahamians deserve The Bahamas, given what we are sactioning? The intelligent world is fast moving away from fossil fuels while we still listen to the men from England, selling our souls for a promised buck from the foreigner
No, now that I think about it, we don't deserve this beautiful place.
