A good sound idea by government !! The Nassau Redevelopment crew came up with this plan in 2003 ! The PLP agreed but procrastinated. Hubigitty screwed the plans up in 2005 because it wasn't his idea. In 2012 Perry allocated the funds but used the money to build a personal mansion in Atlanta instead....So finally, 15 years later with downtown falling to pieces, the people put it in front of a brokey FNM and say we are gonna pay for it ourselves
Halleluyah for Bahamian Independence and Government for the people by the people
Can you please relocate Gov. Publishing office somewhere else and make a cute little central bus terminal on that property so the Jitneys can pull off Bay St, while you are at it
This scum bag was driving the Bahamian economy over the cliff whilst him and his PLP leeches treated the public purse like their own personal ATM. That was before the Bahamian people voted them out in to the wilderness by the biggest landslide in history. Now he's talking about devaluation like he cares ? Why is this newspaper publishing this worthless garbage coming out of a traitor's face ? At least now we all know what's best for the country is the opposite of what the snake say.
Yeah, Mr Turnquest....dont forget the billions of dollars that gets pissed away on Public Corporations every year right under all our noses. We all know who few people benefit from BOB and the likes so dont get to lost on the poor people's benefits if you plan on keeping that Titanic afloat
How about Brave and Freddy getting in on the action. They hired a bunch of these people with no idea how they were going to pay them. They stole every red nickle of a hope this man had of keeping his job and now they are standing behind like a couple of hitman, goading him to take his frustrations out on politicians that are behaving responsibly. Our future is not safe at all so long as we have these old PLP scum suckers trying to take advantage of everything negative in this country, instead of leading this country forwards and upwards
People in this country are finally figuring out that they should not be spending their entire life savings on a damn car but this fascist wants us to go to the bank and pay double for the double he already charging. This is how the rich f... the poor people 101.
How about some 21st century real estate law. About the only thing this country has going for it right now is it's beautiful real estate and for some reason or another, it is taking an average of 9 months for law firms to clear title in a real estate transaction. The number one reason it takes so long according to every lawyer....."the last lawyer didn't do his job properly"
Yes folks, it appears that a Bahamian legal opinion on title is only good until the next Bahamian legal opinion on title. Perhaps we should all lodge official complaints to the bar every time a real estate conveyance takes more than the allotted time, because someone didn't do their job right !!
Australia is aiming for global domination in a growing industry: medicinal marijuana.
The country’s government said Thursday that it was legalizing overseas exports of cannabis products for medical uses.
“We’d like to be potentially the world’s number one supplier,” Health Minister Greg Hunt said on local radio.
Some experts predict the government move could lead to a boom in the industry for Australia.
It “opens the floodgates for further overseas investment into Australia,” said Niv Dagan, a director at investment firm Peak Asset Management.
He forecasts that the market for Australian medicinal cannabis products will quadruple to $1 billion by 2020.
The news gave a massive lift to the share prices of Australian companies that grow cannabis for medical purposes.
The stock of one cultivation firm, Cann Group, surged 35% in Sydney on Thursday.
Peter Crock, the company’s CEO, told CNNMoney that he saw big opportunities in markets like Canada and Germany, where there could be shortfalls in local production.
A report last year by Grand View Research, a U.S.-based market research and consulting firm, forecast that the global market for medicinal cannabis would hit more than $55 billion by 2025.
Today, the major producers of medicinal cannabis for export include Canada and the Netherlands, while import markets include Germany and Croatia.
International trade in legal marijuana is still tightly controlled.
Sales are limited to medicinal use. Exporting and importing nations need to report all trades with the United Nations’ International Narcotics Control Board, according to cannabis information website Leafly.
The Australian Health Ministry said it hoped the decision to legalize exports would strengthen the market for local producers and ensure a more stable supply for Australian patients.
“Our goal is to ensure that Australian producers have every opportunity to be the number one producers of the highest-grade medicinal cannabis in the world,” Hunt said. The changes are set to take effect next month.
Australia legalized patient access to medicinal cannabis at the federal level in 2016, but rules differ at the state level. Recreational use is still forbidden nationwide
Japanese imports are popular because there has been a long history of credible imports from that market place......which is more than anyone can say about the local vehicle market place. Is just another example of these small communist minded cartel members trying to prop up their monopolies without addressing the reason why people think it's a better deal to buy a car from a stranger in Japan and ship it half way around the world rather than from a dealer down the street from them
