Begging for Aid especially after a storm or natural disaster from sister
islands should be a thing of the past. The islands of the OECS are members
of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank and the ministers of Finance are the
highest decision makers of the Central Bank.

From Louis B Robinson:

Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit, at this independence time when you are calling for unity and healing, it would be in the interest of yourself personally, and the nation as a whole to take the high road and honor the first prime minister of Dominica, a former leader of the labor Party, as well as the WAWU, Mr. Patrick Roland John.

Trevor,
I am very impressed and must commend you for a beautiful piece of writing that ‘really’ (as my friend Corbo would say) tickled my fancy. We all (at times) will ‘seemingly’ compromise our ‘better’ judgement based on the information at hand, combined with the credibility of the source; this does not ‘somehow’ make us evil or ‘supportive’ of corruptive activities; Corruption must be qualified and then denounced for what it is, responsibly, and not out of some politically motivated malfeasance; it should not be subjective or some partisan conjecture, as we continue to witness to date. It is the bane to economic advancement and more importantly, a source of social disintegration, as is being witnessed in Dominica and the Diaspora.

One of these days Tony will come clean and explain the real reason behind his all consuming hatred of Lennox Linton – a man he curses to high heavens for not having a job and then turns around and curses him even more to the higher heavens for working for people who, in Tony’s assessment, he should not be working for.

Hi Trevor,

How are you? These are some strong sentiments/observations I must admit.   

 For the record, my fellow countryman let it be known, that as far as I know, we 
do not know each other nor have we ever met. I was on the island of Trinidad 
less than two months ago and I’ve not made contact with you nor have we met 
then. However, I've been following this debate (some may classify it) and 
candidly, as I have indicated both my mailbox and Blackberry are bombarded with 
these emails.  I refrained from getting involved because of the reasons you have 
articulated and in particular, the bad spin these have placed on some of us in 
the Diaspora.

I have been noting your numerous pot shots at me and what I do voluntarily in the interest of advancing the causes of truth, righteousness and justice in Dominica. The most recent of these persistent attempts to ridicule and denigrate me came on Sunday 10th October, 2010:

Why should our citizenshop be so easy?

Following are some extracts:

No residence requirement

Under the programme a person can become a citizen of Dominica without having to reside in or even visit Dominica.

Full rights of citizenship.

……He cannot be deprived of citizenship except for fraud connected with his application.  He cannot be deported from the country and even his children born after his acquisition of citizenship are also entitled to become citizens.
A person who is the holder of a Dominica passport can travel visa free to a large number of countries including England and Switzerland.
