Why should any body we was UWP and feed up with UWP vote for SLP. Wasn't this the same SLP that called for affirmative action in 1997? Why vote for a party that is looking to put only labour people in jobs.
You obviously writing from Tooloo land.
SLP never supported affirmative action; when it was brought up, it was turned down.
SLP at its' worse is better than the set of baffoons we have here.
People should stop staying in trees and coming up with petty reasons why we shouldn't remove this enept government.
Lucian Power? If you're not in Lucia then you have no power, so in other words bla bla bla bla.....
It's about time that we stop dividing the country along lucians living abroad and lucians living in St Lucia. We all have the same rights no matter where we may roam.
Foreigners can come and buy our country and take it over but lucians abroad don't have a say.Don't pay them naysayers no mind. Keep doing what you'll doing.
you lucians abroad have a say in New York where you live. if you can't make it in NY, you can't make it anywhere so don't you carpetbaggers try coming to st. lucia and pretend you better.
Why is your government begging them to return home to invest? Does your government know something that you are too blind to see.
Eh Hack.
Being on the Island is one thing but being away is quite another.
Lucian power is blowing hot air, I mean how can you change the political landscape in St.Lucia when you all live so far away?
Until then, you're just blowing hot sulphuric air.
This last comment is all jackass talk. Don’t pay no mind to it. The whole history of change have always started with expatriates. The world is littered with instances of regime change which was fermented by expatriates. St Lucia is no different.
Every St Lucian should keep pressing and demanding change no matter where they reside in the world.
You're right, Castro started in Mexico.
What do you mean Castro started in Mexico? We should be thankful for Castro for helping us with hundred of scholarships. to train our people to become professionals. We are so much better than Cuba, what can we contribute to their people? Before we check other people, check ourselves.
Castro is pulling the wool over your eyes but it won't cover all the atrocities he's done.

Letter: Enchantment with Fidel Castro?
Published on Wednesday, September 2, 2009 Email To Friend Print Version
Dear Sir:
I am baffled at Caribbean political and opinion leaders enchantment with Fidel Castro. I am baffled as to why his commentaries are even considered for publication in a free journal such as yours. His people cannot read whatever you may publish of his opinings. For that matter they cannot read anything else you publish unless the do so illegally. I sometimes fear that the other Caribbean leaders would like to have such devastating powers over their people. This does not bode well for the pockets and economies of the the Caribbean masses.
These leaders and other take refuge in sayings such as: Cuba has great educational and medical systems. So what? Mussolini made the trains run on time. Hitler brought back much needed pride and discipline to German society. The lesson is not just what a leader has accomplished, but to what end has he accomplished it? Is it to create efficiencies to further oppress peoples and to aggregate power and allegience to himself? Or is it to increase the well being and productivity of the governed? Castro has done his "good" things for the former reasons. He oppresses those who oppose him. He forbids internal criticism and jails those who organize against him. Yet he gains praise and adulation across the Caribbean. Why? Because he gives a few hand outs.
Those Caribbean leaders who praise Castro should be ashamed of themselves. Where else in the world can a white man and a few white elites control a population of majority Blacks and let them live in utter abject poverty? Only in Cuba today. Fidel is white with no black ancestors. The vast majority of the Politburo is white with about three token Blacks. Black Cubans are rlegated to the most menial jobs and can obtain few jobs in the valued sectors such government or tourism. Many Blacks pass for white so the can obtain economic and social benefits. The majority of political prisoners are blacks. Yet no voice rises up to cry like they justly did with South Africa. The vocal praise the only white leader that is oppressing majority Blacks today. They should be ashamed.
