Minnis still hasn't realized that he's making promises that he has no control over. If the Oban agreement doesn't call for money to be put aside every month based on the sales volume, then we certainly have no way to control/manage potential environmental issues.
I was going to suggest that the 'funds set aside' must also be held by government, but the money would just disappear somehow, leaving $0 for cleanup.

My problem isn't that there is someone acting in the role, my problem is with his attitude when answering pretty simple questions. Only an internal dictator would answer that way.

Good one. You had me fooled at first but I finally got the sarcasm!

I can only assume that the ships are run aground intentionally. Maybe so they don't have to go on patrol, maybe so Hatians can land easier, maybe the captain just doesn't know what those little numbers on the maritime chart mean.

Lol! That assumption is making an ass out of you and me.

PLP (Pindling days) intentionally kept the people uneducated so that they can stay in power (typical African move). Now that generation's grandkids are still suffering as a result. It will take at least 20 years before we get a generation of decent social skills and education.

Maynard is appealing to the few ignorant union members. He's a dinosaur with no hope of survival in a modern world and he's doing more harm than good to the BPL workers.

The customer service rep simply lied to you. The deposit is refunded when you close your account. Any outstanding balance due on your account is deducted from your deposit and then a cheque is prepared (in days or weeks) for the remaining balance (deposit less amount owed, if any) for you to collect.

Agreed. They need to make the unionizing of essential services illegal! Give them a years notice and tell the unions they are done.

If only the PM said it like that. "I believe a CJ is important but the matter is not top priority at the moment'
