The GBPA was created while this place was a colony .......... Pindling looked the other way and basically left it alone, once black people were allowed within the port area.
Now that the GBPA has no more economic value, the GBPA owners & their partner in crime (HW) will gladly give the white elephant back to the Govt. They started with the hotel and the airport. Both are millstones around the Government's neck.
Alicia Wallace is targetting Long Island people .......... because we don't tolerate Haitian illegal migrants.
Too bad ............. we do that to protect our land. We already see what has happened to most of the other major islands, because their citizens compromised their integrity for mammon.
PM Hubert Ingraham was the last real hope for the salvation of this country ......... while many PLPs and their present leaders will howl long and loud about Pindling, it was Pindling who by 1983 (10 years of Independence) had lead us to the point where we were a "Nation for Sale".
It was Ingraham who pulled the country out of that political and diplomatic abyss and set us on a road to modern development and growth. Even though the world's economic crises of 2000 led to an upheaval in the banking sector, the country was in a far better situation than what Ingraham met in 1992.
Today, this present PM has taken us back to the pre-1992 era ........ he cannot keep a rein on his Cabinet and he is too pre-occupied with trying to create an international name for himself. Meanwhile the country is falling apart - just like what the author is talking about.
Many of these FI schools are ticking timebombs because of neglect and incompetence on the part of an out of touch centralized Nassaucentric system.
Familiarity breeds contempt ........ An old saying that we see playing out in these clannish dysfunctional communities. A lot of stuff just remains hidden in plain sight.
The white-led UN is not interested in solving the Haitian crisis, nor is OAS or USA. So, what can Davis and caricom do????
The Bahamas is in a Catch-22 situation. Haitians make up at least 25% of our present population and they are an integral part of our economy. That is hard to reverse after 60 years of modern Haitian immigration.
Our politicians know that the Haitian vote is important in at least 12-15 constituencies. They are in fact the swing vote. So each party will court the Haitian vote to win the next election.
This gives the Haitians a sense of social power that they are obviously beginning to flaunt. This brazen action is what is driving the backlash from "real Bahamians".
If the Bahamian government doesn't get a hold on this powder keg, it will explode, as it has in Haiti.
All FIVE prime ministers are guilty of not protecting our borders and our sovereignty ...... All 5 sold us out to foreigners, legal and illegal. But, who will save this country now?????

Davis is right ....... he doesn't have to listen to Pintard AND he doesn't have to reshuffle (or cut) his Gussiemae Cabinet.
But, it is clear to all that what Davis has in his Cabinet is not working. Sad that he can't see that.
