"...international standards? Why doesn’t the Bahamas even have its own standards? Was there a..."

WHY should we have our OWN standards???????? International standards already exist. We should follow them in stead of reinventing the wheel.

Perhaps Mr. Smith wants to hand over control of our oil operations to Haiti?

So if it didn't compromise operations - what are they doing there in the first place? Obviously we don't need them. Give every other security guard a 10% pay increase and carry on smartly.

The fact that Mr Davis is asking why, tells us that this change was urgently needed. How many more sloops does Mr Davis want to land at a stone's throw from the RBDF base?

No comment.

Good point - except wrong. As early as 2 weeks ago tractors were busy cleaning up the Mudd and Peas areas. Priorities must be maintained and adhered to :-)

Absolutely correct. Why was i not surprised when i reached the end of this letter to find the particular author's name inscribed there?
As the song says ... Dog Don't Bark at Parked Car.
Representative McAlpine is one of the few who are actually speaking up about serious issues in this country. Mr Bodie mentions hurricane recovery, yet i don't recall hearing him being upset by the 700 acres of pine trees covered in oil in East End and the government's order that they not be removed - actually halting a removal effort while it was ongoing.
There are some subjects (like gays and abortion) that most in the Bahamas wish to sweep under the rug and keep there - regardless of the consequences. Suicides, death threats, murders, even just lost productivity and creativity - these are all acceptable as long as the gays are kept quiet and the teenage girls can keep making new church members every 9 months.
One has to wonder if Floyd, Mathew, and Dorian were 3 warnings sent to the Bahamas? Maybe the next one will come right up the center and wipe the whole country out?
A future Noah's Arc type story where God will rid us of our slavemasters once and for all and Bahamians finally be able to breathe fresh air as free men and women. Bow and let us pray.

It's very depressing every day to wonder where the VAT money gone :-(

Mr. D'Aguilar, the country can't ever become "best in its class" when most students have a D average.
Try fix the idiotic BGCSE system first, then the sky may become your limit. At the moment, your plane tire flat and your propeller crooked.

The only hope we have is that oil from the spill washes up on the shores of South Carolina and is identified (it can be by the C-H ratios) and the U.S. takes action.
Perhaps they can cancel all of our travel visas and shut down all preclearances for one month to teach us not to be stupid.
Probably wont help though.
We can all just die of cancer and thank God for life.
