Will CNN and MSNBC be coming here to record it? Will Al Jazeera be coming? Is the BBC dropping everything to be here? What about China State TV? How any European and African and Asian TV networks will be here. Please point me to who will be coming to document this to give us this "Tremendous publicity worldwide" as last time I checked ZNS is not worldwide.
We need to be careful not to fall for the koolaid that is pushed by government people trying to sell a narrative to move people off the substantive issues.
Do we seriously believe throwing a party for two entitled people will catapult the Bahamas into the spotlight of the world?
We really need to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery. This is nothing different from slavery and even the days of the Roman empire. Massa shows up and we bring the servants out to dance and perform like the mindless people they are.
This is the same mentality of the slave, who rather than be free and have to fend for themselves, would prefer to stay and be a slave and be mistreated by massa, simply because they won't have to fend for themselves.
If we cannot let go of the apron strings of the UK, then what is the point of independence?
It is time we emancipate ourselves from mental slavery. It is time we become independent and stop being independently dependent.

A lot of attention is attracted by whom? And what world leaders are these 2 persons visiting? What country do they lead?

Who is the corporate donor sponsoring the Governor Generals's reception? Are they receiving anything is return for sponsoring a government event? And who is paying for the third-party costs?
When in the world will we get a Freedom of Information Act so that we don't have to rely on glossy statements with no facts for answers?
He talks about Minnis is wrong, yet not speaks on the wrong of the National security minister and himself. He needs to go sit down and stop blowing hot air.

Why does the COP needs to tell people he is retiring? Just do it.
The bigger question though is when will we get a Prime Minister' s Act so that we can put a cap on the age when they need to retire?
It is rather hypocritical how all other government agencies have a retirement age, but yet for PM and GG we have no retirement age cap for them.

Sadly I cannot agree with you.
This is the same mentality of the slave, who rather than be free and have to fend for themselves, would prefer to stay and be a slave and be mistreated by massa, simply because they won't have to fend for themselves.
