"*I think consumers will be happy that there are no significant price increases.*"

Prices are up 100% for spoiled and dessicated fruit. I watched for months waiting for the dessicated oranges and grapefruits with brown spots, the mushy pears and the candied apples to disappear. Something other than inflation is happening here. Profiteering started from 2012 with the *announcement* of VAT coming in 2013.

Elsewhere A salmon wrap has gone from 13 to 17 dollars? A Wendy's chicken sandwich combo has gone from 7 dollars to 11 dollars. I find it very hard to believe . It *seems* like profiteering. Every single item up by 4 dollars???

I cant remember an administration in history that had such poor intelligence. Lots of *busy-ness* announcements followed almost immediately by *oopsies* rollbacks

There are a number of serious matters of reform that have virtually been ignored by every single commissioner in the past 30 years, some more weighty than others.

Physical fitness for the job, abuse of law abiding citizens, low quality recruits, intelligence both literally and figuratively, normalization of pay to look the other way, traffic chaos . We will know within the first week if this new commissioner is any different. Words signal intent. The first three months will tell us the substance of those words.

The police have signalled that in January they will crack down on persons without license plates in a given range. How will they know by looking at a car without a license plate that you are in that range? Will they rough up persons without license plates as if they're criminals? Because some friend of the administration was given a lucrative million dollar contract they should have never received? The company should be fined one dollar per day for every license plate not issued on day of licensing backdated to when this problem started. Either give up the contract or find a sustainable solution.

Finally this is not the wild west. These criminals, clearly on and off the force, exist because someone in a very high ranking office is making money. Do not bow to "a" PM or anyone else to ignore criminal activity. It will eventually come right back to your doorstep. The sitting PM was held as a *targeted* hostage in his own house, unbelievable. Crack the ringS without some other country having to embarrass you.

Unfortunately a performance will not "prove" a group is the real valley boys. A performance will just say that the group showed well on *this* day.

Knowing junkanoo, spectators have to wait each year, each performance to see if groups will be on time, if costumes will be completed, if costumes will be pasted with quality, if music will be in time and in tune... you never know.

If only this were called something like *the greatest show on earth* we might get consistency. Maybe someone someday will think to brand junkanoo as such and aim to live up to the name.

Shouldnt they have given numbers? And if a business is unable to deliver items securely and refusing to give refunds shouldnt the consumer **protection** commission name them? Or is this a scare tactic to discover persons from buying reasonably priced items.

Anyway another reason to order directly from Amazon. They track in real time

I think you missed it, but **ALL of the other groups believe the decision is unfair. This is clearly a new group and all other new groups had to adhere to the rule to come out as an exhibition group.** So they are trying to figure out, first how this group got category A funding in the first place then how they're being allowed to rush in the A category. **What could possibly make them special?**

"*He (Davis)said he contacted the former Commissioner of Police, senior officers, and the US Chargé d’affaires*"

**but**

"*In response to an allegation circulating last night about the Minister of National Security alleging a conversation took place between the US Chargé d’Affaires and Mr Davis, Mr Mitchell blamed the FNM for the story, saying: “That story by the FNM is a lie.*"

Huh? But Davis himself said he spoke to the Charge d'Affairs. I guess when the fire too hot deny is a fire

Could the person asking the question be "*the*" person?? It cant more than 5 possibilities of who could command the Armed Forces to transport cocaine in partnership with a Colombian cartel and give assurance that the participants would be reasonably protected from detection and "*local*" penalties

They pulling ever rabbit out the hat they can. "*boundaries commission meeting*", "*cant stop junkanoo*"... ah boy. I guess they could propose a bill to "*legalize gay marriage*" next....

The language of "*cancellation*" is clearly off the table for more man, why do you keep repeating it?... Now if God sends wind and rain... that's another matter. In any event this trumped up controversy cannot get the high ranking politician out the crosshairs. Can you imagine when they have this trial and start cross examining these guys?
