Too bad this union guy could not name even 3 things he is upset about (besides the bugging). No issues?

You must be a mind reader. My thoughts exactly.

I applaud Mr Smith for being forthright and honest. He says in part "i’m so glad it will now be time for the citizens of Grand Bahama to come back home and take advantage of these home grown opportunities once again.”

Really Mr. Smith? Are you telling us that you won't become involved in any future Haitian take-over of Grand Bahama? That there won't be signals sent to the sloops with new landing coordinates?

That would really be "pulling a rabbit out of a hat" - on your part - and, trust me, i know hats.

Good point by Beckles. Maybe the Chamber could volunteer to maintain on their website a list of brands who have distributors that the public coukd access. People could register their brand and the Chamber coukd call the supplier and verify the validity. Then others would know.
Customs could also check it and give importers just ONE warning. If they import the brand again it is seized ans turned over to the rightful distributor.

Remember the NY case haa been allowed to go forward with the original owner prosecuting them. Keep your fingers crossed. With Trump's help we gonna chase them crazy bald heads out of town.

You wouldnt know because there is no Freedom of Information Act. We still wondering where da VAT money gone.

Oh Canada. Our home and native land. Oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

See they can always find time to make fool a** laws to affect us and tie us down - but they cant seem to get around to completing that Freedom of Information Act so we can see where OUR money is disappearing to, not to mention what debt burdens to the IDB they are placing on the backs of our grandchildren.
So now they will be collecting even more money in fines which we wont know where that money is going either.
Why the secrecy?
Can any business with shareholders do that? No.
I cant wait until next election season. Im gonna keep a warm pot of piss on my stove and just wait for them to knock on my door.

I think we can dub this week "National Stuck Record Week".
Are you telling me that the CEA is either not yet fully in place or that immigration officers loyal to the PLP have found a way to impede and frustrate persons who have already tried to create businesses under that Act?
If not, why not just announce a renaming of the Act to The BH-1B Act?
If yes. then the PM needs to just have the guts to fire those immigration officers who have obstructed "in the interest of the public service" - which he has the authority to do.
Barring tough action on their "hips", they will just find another way to abuse the new visa system to keep rich foreigners out to preserve space for their poor foreigner buddies down south.
It's a choice we have to make as a nation.
Silicon or plantain.
Time to choose.

Sounds good. However, does this mean no development in East End?

Good work here by the govt. Must give credit where credit is due.
