i'm not sure a UB degree would be worth the paper its written on outside the country without some kind of internationally recognized accreditation. how is this any different from ISO standards for business? Strachan shouldn't let nationalist views cloud good judgement.
i dont support evicting members. they are put there by the people and ONLY the people who put them there should have the power to move them. similarly, i dont support members switching parties as they wish. in essence, they steal your vote by false pretense doing that.
this is a commendable socialist program but funding it means that after 52 years post independence, we need to start separating the sheep from the goats. so burdensome SOEs have to be privatized and their subsidies used here instead.
This whole thing (as reported publicly) waa a spectacle to witness. right now pilots from Jet Blue and British Airways are flyimg into the Bahamas proving that pilots cross borders yer these people argue they only want a bahamian exam. i guess they only plan to fly in the Bahamas and stay out of Colombia, Mexico or Central America where they might encounter volcanic ash which they will know nothing about.
We bahamians live in a fantasy world.. the people are broke , bankrupt.. how you think you gonna get paid? i know what the plan is most likely.. govt, you pay us.
nothing allocated.. one of the tricks to present a balanced budget then when you miss, you say thus and that came up and was inexpecyed when it was always known.
i'm always amazed when govt offers handouts left, right and center but never say where the money will come from. even more amazing, nobody asks how it will be funded. lastly, dont these people have a Union? i guess election next year.
guarantee this will be abused to the max as more days off work. we need to be careful following all these 1st world and UN driven initiatives. most of those countries have high taxes to fund these things.. do we want that?
the election date mystery is indeed nonsense. running a country is serious business and it shouldn't be like guessing the winning lotto numbers. if you do your job and govern responsibly, why do you have to guess the best date to have an election? elections should also be held on Saturday or Sunday. why all that lost productivity and cost to Employers just to vote?
