Once our Government gave away those private islands to the cruise ship companies, the writing was on the wall for 242 tourism. That horse is out of the gate.

A NDP and our brand of democracy don't seem to be able to work, but some major national goals should be agreed upon by our Government. One should be establishing a SWF for all citizens to benefit from (tangibly) based on sale of all natural resources. Another goal should be generating at least 75% energy independence & sustainable food production.
