Sunwings COO is pissed. What you will see, is the Crisco Butt government shoveling cash out of the treasury at Sunwings witn an SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) to clean up the storm damage in an effort to make them stay.

Crisco Butt thinks that you are not allowed to criticise the Emperor. After all, we Chinese now.

Ok - so they are going to open without a sale. They are going to open without advertising. They are going to open rooms as they are finished. Does this makes sense to anyone? How stupid do they think that Bahamians are?

Baha Mar is poisoned. Read the travel forums. Many people have had their vacations and weddings ruined when Baha Mar didn't open. It is a tainted brand that is a laughing stock. And yet they are having a "soft" opening.

WTF? They must think that Bahamians are the stupidest people on earth. But then of course, you have birdie strachan proving it, so it must be true.

It was printed that they have 9000 applications for Baha Mar. What happened to those 32,000 jobs that the PLP created bringing employment to full in the Bahamas. The sad part is that even if they exaggerated by 1000 percent, there are still 900 broken dreams out there, which is criminal.

How long will the Bahamians continue to be door mats? And PLP supporters just say "Give us some more. Step right on our groins. We love ya!".

More dead good news, just like the announcement that Baha Mar had been SOLD. The only selling, is Crisco Butt is selling the Bahamians a bill of goods.

Aww, it's so cute when you try to talk about things you don't understand. We know what is wrong with Grand Bahama.

And to top it all off, the Bahamian president of Baha Mar is on a media tour, saying that the Baha Mar deal is not yet closed. Sandy Sands is trying to get out of this one by saying -- "of course it een closed, it will close once the construction company finishes the hotel". Can you believe this BS?

Excuse me? I for one, would like to know the real situation. So apparently Chow Tow Fook can tell everyone to Fook off and not open the hotel, cuz they een buy it yet.

It is apparent that Crisco Butt needed a public Potemkin Village for the election, but we still gat squat.

Or ... the cancer of LBT has finally been excised from the FNM and Minnis has the elbow room now to run a government with technocrats.

Can you imagine how hard it would be to operate if you had a fat potcake yapping at your heels, nipping you at every move, ceaselessly trying to overthrow you and constantly plotting behind your back, spreading all sorts of alternative facts? Minnis intends to run a meritocracy, and his candidates prove it.

On Minnis should resign

This is a sign of things to come for our tourism industry. Sunwing is a travel group and a cheap airlines that brings budget-concious, but winter-weary Canadians to sun-filled destinations. Sunwing also bought a UK travel group Signature Vacations -- a big player in Europe, and they also bought SellOffVacations.com. Now they bring thousands of international visitors to the resorts they operate. Then they bought Atlanta based Vacation Express to open themselves to the American market. They recently bought 737-800 jets for their airlines to provide their own airlift. They have thousands of tourists in a captive market, and where are they taking them? To jurisdictions where it is more business-friendly.

The jazz-playing CEO of Sunwing (he even opened his own jazz bistro in Toronto to give himself a venue to play) is spending $400 million to open a new 500-room resort in Antigua, and they are opening a 600 room resort in Jamaica -- where incidentally, ScotiaBank is transferring more back-office Bahamian jobs.

The trickle is becoming a torrent.
