The Elijah Message and Election 2009

The Elijah Message and Election 2009

1Kings 16:29-30 ; In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab the son of Omri became king over Israel; and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years. 30 Now Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord, more than all who were before [...]

Reflections on the December 18 General Elections

Reflections on the December 18 General Elections

When I wrote my commentaries several months prior to the general elections in Dominica I could not foresee many factors coming into play so that the results played out as they did. I never dreamt that The Mighty Spider reincarnate could whisper “I singing sankey…(for the UWP)”. In those days, as far as I can [...]

The Myth of Lost Dignity-a Respone to Critics of Government’s Public Support Programme

The Myth of Lost Dignity-a Respone to Critics of Government’s Public Support Programme

“If we can observe pain and not feel it, we do not care; we have no love!
Subtle messages are sent by many in their quest to dismiss the response to citizens’ challenges introduced by the Government through its Public Support Programme. As one great teacher proclaimed almost two thousand years ago, “there will always be [...]

In Matters of Faith…D EYE M F!

In Matters of Faith…D EYE M F!

Domipeem: “Huh, what a tough day it is; my sinuses are swollen and I can nationfeel an intense pain in my chest!” Finsec: “You perhaps need some rest; how much sleep had you taken over the past week?” Domipeem: “I never thought of that really! Do you think I need to see the doc after [...]

Election Polls and Dominica’s Votes – How it Could Turn out for the 2009 December Election

Election Polls and Dominica’s Votes – How it Could Turn out for the 2009 December Election

First of all let me say that I am no authority on matters relating to election polls. However, I think I am able to shed some light on the partial impact poll results can have on election results. Since election polling essentially predicts conditional behaviour, set patterns and specific factors can manipulate our thinking.
We must [...]

National Parks, World Heritage Site to Clean and Green Policy

National Parks, World Heritage Site to Clean and Green Policy

Hon. Ron Green’s and the United Workers Party’s proposal to Dominica to adopt “The Clean and Green National Policy,”, as the framework for its Development Agenda in the 21st Century, is a logical culmination of the work started by Christopher Maximea and others in the Forestry Division , since the 1950-1960s. As was noted by [...]

PM Skerrit gives more empty talk on International Airport

PM Skerrit gives more empty talk on International Airport

Prime Minister Skerrit’s recent pronouncements at a Marigot Town hall meeting about plans to build an International Airport for Dominica, are just more empty election talk.
Mr Skerrit’s lack of seriousness, his total confusion and his government’s several contradictions about International Airport, are conveyed in his 2009/ 2010 budget address and his Government’s Growth and Social [...]

Statement by DFP on rising violent crimes in Dominica

Statement by DFP on rising violent crimes in Dominica

Ensuring public safety and security – reducing crime in our communities
Safety and security are essential components for a better quality of life. Meaningful development cannot be achieved if Dominicans and investors alike feel threatened by what seems to be a breakdown of law & order and if there is a lack of confidence in [...]

The fanfare behind campaigning

The fanfare behind campaigning

Words such as promise and expressions like ‘we will build this…; and no other party or government is able to accomplish so much in this period of time’ are all words and phrases associated with political campaigns in Dominica and have been over decades.
Let me give it to you hard and heavy before I forget. [...]

‘Judas’ Timothy

‘Judas’ Timothy

All Dominicans are fully aware of the fact that up till the time that Tony embarrassed himself by failing to explain the bin bobol, choosing rather to run into exile, Tony was/is the number one political activist for the DLP, and can be considered the high priest of the DLP. Tony was/is always the fore [...]
