These Canadian banks will not be operating in the Bahamas for too much longer. They see the writing on the wall. In kowtowing to elitist global bureaucrats within the eu, oecd, imf, etc., our dumber than dumb politicians have spent nearly three decades enacting umpteen ridiculous laws and regulations that make it almost impossible for the local commercial banks to operate on side of the law without in someway violating the more fundamental legal rights of their customers. And we all know how a judge like Justice Winder is inclined to rule when one of the Canadian banks gets caught in the crosshairs.
This 9% income tax rate is being floated by Minnis and Turnquest for public reaction under the guise of the Bahamas all of a sudden needing to somehow get off of a Dutch blacklist that it has been on for many years. The reality of the situation is that Minnis and Turnquest want to introduce this 9% income tax across the board (on all Bahamians and foreigners resident in the Bahamas) because the very corrupt and most incompetent Minnis-led FNM government's modus operandi of governing is: borrow borrow borrow - spend spend spend - then tax tax tax.
A lot of words to describe what is essentially a well known type of culturally ingrained caste system the world over. Absolutely right though that it will not be changed over-night. It may in fact take centuries of inter-racial marriage to fix skin colour discrimination. In the meantime I'm not inclined to try change my skin colour for fear of what happened to Michael Jackson when he tried to do so. Better to learn how to become secure with one's own natural skin no matter what shade of colour it is. And then pity the wrongful serious character flaw of those who try to define others by their skin colour; they are afterall racists!
It just occurred to me that Delaney's law firm may be providing legal representation to the EU/OECD et. al. If that's indeed the case, then he's about as two-faced as they come!
Most if not all of them should never have been hired through political patronage in the first place. If you're young and live long enough, you may experience first hand what our ancestors used sea grape tree leaves for.

We've never had a dumber and more embarrassing Speaker of The House. And we have none other than Minnis to thank for that irrefutable fact.
