There is NO line item in any budget for building maintenance, only for janitor style cleaning. Thus the constant air conditioner breakdowns at PMH and the court registry etc. It's almost as if someone raided a 7th grade classroom and kidnapped 39 children and placed them in Parliament. They have no real world experience. A sadder story cannot be told even by Stephen King.

Yes. You have a very good point. European colonists brought flu virus and other viruses that the original inhabitants were ill equipped to deal with via their immune systems and there was no Walgreens back then. In effect two cultures were wiped from the face of the Earth.

It was disgusting and should not have happened.

Fifty years from now we will be able to say the same about the historic (then) death of Bahamian culture. Will what happened in the 1500's excuse it? Tit for tat?

I would not concern myself with it if the resulting overpopulation did not spill over into my country like the "head" of a beer poured by an untrained bartender.

My country should not have to suffer just because others are too ignorant, stubborn, and backward to use birth control.

Have Haitians yet considered where they will migrate to after they destroy the Bahamas and the USA?

The fact that they wont allow ordinary Bahamians to buy 10 shares and up in the 2 entities you mentioned causes one to question whether this new talk is just more nonsense.

Memo to Govt: we are already overstocked with nonsense.

My thoughts exactly. Whenever there are bonds and other share offerings unless you are an "insider" to know about it before it is oversubscribed and unless you have a spare $10,000 lying around the dog eat ya lunch.

Just one of the many reasons why we dont get to eee the "books". We only see "budgets".

The thing is, this government could comply by sending Bahamians off to be trained in Europe and Canada and the Caymans to operate under these new requirements and terminologies.

But that would mean elevating Bahamians and that simply cannot be allowed.

"Mr Bethel yesterday said the EU appeared to have totally ignored The Bahamas' efforts to address ..."

No. They did not ignore the efforts. They are just not looking for efforts; they are looking for results.

By the way, are there any 90% Canadian neighborhoods in the Bahamas where Canadians have claimed free land and built non-permitted structures and live without documentation and engage in procreation?

Let us know - cause if those Canadians are left untroubled by Immigration Dept then i agree with you that the whole thing is RACIST and needs fixing asap.

Yes. They should band together in Haiti and build 900 sloops and come 900 sloops full all one time. No problem. That would be in keeping with their U.N. protected human rights.
