Who knew is one question.

But is is beyond belief that nobody knew about the massive amount of funds leaving the country's jurisdiction. Nobody asked for evidence client funds in the millions were segregated. Nobody asked for continuous monitoring of client funds... one of the long stream of dereliction of duty or co-conspirator law suits to come will eventually succeed

They need to provide a public report of the number of these mistakes happening at the hospital every month. Nothing improves performance more than accountability. And with their ability to hide what should be public statistics they do not have to be accountable to anyone no matter how many people get killed or harmed through indisputable malpractice

"*Bahamas beats airlines*"

I think we have an issue with reading comprehension. The ruling said basically, "*we recognize the sovereignty of the Bahamas to do whatever they want in their country*"

THEN, went on to say

"*Detailing its position, the US Department of Transportation said: “After analysing the entire record of this proceeding, **we have serious concerns that the air navigation service charges imposed by bansa may not fall within the reasonable level** vis-à-vis The Bahamas’ cost for the provision of air navigation services, and we question whether the charges are fully consistent with Article 10 of the Air Transport Agreement, which entered into force on January 27, 2020.”*

"*While **we are concerned that the charges potentially exceed a reasonable cost basis** as contemplated in the agreement, the record shows that air navigation fees are imposed on US carriers at equal rates with the charges imposed on Bahamian and third-country carriers,” the ruling found. “In those circumstances, we are unable to conclude that the charges constitute discriminatory activity.” Without proof of discrimination, the industry’s case has no basis for success*

**So the Dept of Transportation dismissed the claim on the basis that it there was no evidence it was "*discriminatory*" because everybody getting charge what they believe might be excessive fees**

I suspect as long as we keep a veil over how we treat our detainees, inclusive of Cuban immigrants, are treated Cuba will continue to hold Bahamians. I dont get the impression that country holds any love for us, blatantly murdering the Flamingo RBDF officers. So at your own peril...

"*According to his wife, Anya Chisolm, Mr Chisolm was travelling in international waters off the Cuban coast in possession of a **small** amount of marijuana when he was arrested by Cuban officials*"

"*Mr Chisolm is currently out on bail as he awaits trial for similar drug-related charges in The Bahamas in connection with a $**3m** drug seizure in the Exuma cays in 2020.*"

These 2 statements dont mesh. Sounds like he was caught multiple times over the course of years smuggling large amounts of drugs and...

"*Sometime between September 17 and 21, 2020, Mr Chisolm and two others were accused of conspiring to possess a quantity of Indian hemp.*"

They allow on what they want to hear. I get the need to filter abusive/slanderous commentary etc, but how is this different from what the strongmen did?

Thought the same.
