Dis past week was full of unusual happenings, de REDJet meeting in T and T where Jack and he Bajan and Jamaican counterparts discuss de way forward.
According to what I read, de fellas “agreed to work on a few issues and once those issues have been addressed the operation of the airline in the respective territories should proceed.”
So what is de Vendor to conclude that wunnah was NOT wukking pun dese issues before? Unnah was vupsing, as de Trinis would say? And how come in de media I hear that Trindad and Jamaica had concerns ’bout de airline’s SAFETY? So wait, Bubbadus didn’t have those same concerns and did not Bubbadus and the appropriate international bodies issue airworthiness certificates to the airline? Politicians tink we foolish!
And den there was the Antiguan Prime Minister Mr Spencer who said “that there was still much work to be done to get Caribbean nationals fully engaged in the Caribbean Community (Caricom) Single Market and Economy (CSME)” and further said that “as the CSME moves to the stage of “how to” it was critical that the next generation understood their reality on cross border operations and appreciated the facts about new opportunities.
I know that I duncy, but how many people out there really understand what he talking bout? And while we at it, Mr PM, you worrying ’bout de next generation understanding CSME when this generation ain’t got a clue what you talking bout and I suspect you ain’t got a clue either?
That sound like a speech put together by a bored civil servant whose job it is to trot out speeches fuh ministers.?He or she must have been having a bad day or writers block!
We can’t sort out simple immigration matters like a fishing agreement or letting competition rule in the airline industry and we talking ’bout “educating the various publics and their understanding and buy in to the relevance, the scope, the benefits and ownership of the CSME?
Bare mock sport we mekking! Wha’ opportunities fuh investment you talking ’bout, skipper?
De opportunity to get frustrate and to lose all yuh investment because politicians sitting pun dey backside and tying up people wid red tape?
We, as Caribbean people, been long integrated, through music, travel, food, business and marriage! Lucians marry Bajans, Bajans marry Guyanese, Trinis marry everybody, we got friends and family all over de place. We introduce easy movement of people fuh de tourists in 2007 during de ICC World Cup and as soon as the World Cup done, it was back to the same ole same ole, wid all de forms and more questions than cross-examination during a murder trial! Is not we that need de education, it is wunnah, de politicians.
Two bizarre stories catch muh eye dis past week, both involve women. A woman get stop at Piarco Airport and after a cavity search she delivered a pound of compressed marijuana prematurely!
Can we assume that the herb found in her fertility garden was for personal use and not to sell? And how did Customs know to search her in that part of anatomy? Did she walk strangely? I always thought marijuana had a pungent smell, I am beginning to understand why!
And den there was the lady who claimed to have been given a beef instead of a chicken roti and ended up pushing down a display cabinet causing damages of $3 000 and having to pay compensation. Was dis a lack of education that cause dis commotion?
I, Market Vendor, gone fuh now, you have a blessed and a wonderful day, yuh hear?
