Wow Eye Surgery, for cataract no less. A procedure successfully done in the Bahamas for over fifty years!

Sounds like a failure of the public healthcare system. Wonder what Dr. Perry Gomez would have said?😳🤔

This humanitarian situation is indicative as to why we need to finally address our immigration policy, especially regarding “birth right citizenship’. We have certainly benefited from immigration and if we want to continue to reap those benefits then we should craft sensible and pragmatic policies.

Instead we continue to dodge the problems and they fester “since the 70’s” as one commenter opined.

Mrs. Clinton once opined “abortion should be safe, legal and rare…”. I can think of no other statement on the matter that so succinctly addresses this controversy.

Abortions have been freely available in the Bahamas for decades.

The “Church” should ‘sit small’ or pay taxes.

Politicians should grow ‘a spine’ or cajones, whichever allows them to do the right thing without fear or favor.

Thank you. You’ve shined the spotlight where it needs to be!

Intelligence and sensitivity on display👍🏽

This cheeky “editorial” is a bit disappointing coming from the likes of the esteem Tribune. Mr. Mitchell is not a candidate. Mr. Gibson would like to be.

While it is often said “the Bahamian electorate has a short memory” I’d be tempted to infer that anyone not aware of the wannabe candidate’s troubles as a CM must suffer from significant Alzheimer’s?! Not sure why anyone in WE/Bim would want him given that history, but ‘to each his own’?

Mr. Mitchell is said to “know where all the bones are buried” and I suspect we should trust him on this one, given his desire to preserve some semblance of decency in Bahamian foreign relations and ultimately our shared History…

😂🤣😅…so true🥲

…wouldn’t worry about that. “Approval” in this instance needs to be investigated by our legal authorities to see if any shenanigans were committed?!

I’m proud of UB today and fully support their stance.

We once had an administration who called themselves “the government of the sunshine”, we thought it funny then, however looking back through the ‘retrospectoscope’ even though it was a bit smudged, that administration may have been our most “transparent”. Prime Ministers must use their power for the good and be the avatar of good governance.

As we mature, we should strive to improve our governance. Bahamians seem to be on a path of electing ‘one term’ governments. The politicians should recognize that as a cue to perform at their best to facilitate another governing opportunity, not try to ‘get the most’ out of their single term. Where is the concept of bipartisanship? Ruling and opposition parties still only fight one another. This is illustrative of immaturity or dysfunction.

Forward, upward, onward together ✊🏽
