  1. Just a matter of time for North America to dominate the local Ganja industry especially with the variety of Ganja based products and of course , medical marijuana. The local
    industry will remain small players in the big pond .

    1. And in the long run, they will get them out and take my word for it. after all that they put Rasta true for Ganja, this is what it coming too. Wow

  2. Teacher job is very important 👏 and they are working with out any respect given government lie and some children and parents disrespectful

  3. I dont blame any teacher right now in Jamaica who is taking a stand for better wages. Teachers are the most worked people and right now Jamaican students nuh easy fi deal with. When unuh tired to stage sick out then start working to rule. Hats off to all Jamaican teachers who stand up for justice.

  4. For a prime minister who was once a minister of education he is heartless to the teachers plight on long suffering God is angry with this man.

  5. Teachers living from hand to mouth every month ,if its not for loans most Teachers would dead form hungry! Teachers can’t even pay their monthly bills, not to mention kids to feed 🙄 Jah knows Teachers struggle is real in Jamaica.

  6. If no one in Jamaica buys the imported ganja, even if they are selling it for one cent, Canada will have to take it back. Support your local farmers.

    1. But everything from foreign better especially Canada. I am sure its jamaicans on farm work reaping the ganja anyway.

  7. We the people of Jamaica to be cared for i love my Jamaicans my little Island Jamaica how we all to sit back and let opperssors take jamaica away from we the people ofour little Island our land of wood & water no way our true born Jamaicans people who loved am proud to say jamaica so much our born land caah duh dat

  8. When you see that these professionals have taken it to the streets you know that their cups are really full. For far too long teachers have been treated like under dogs 🐕 . My God it’s about time they get a salary that can speak volume. Every negotiation process teachers’ requests have never been met – These professionals have sacrifice so much and they are hardly acknowledged. In other countries teachers are treated with respect but here in Jamaica they are boxed about and given the crumbs…🙆‍♀️🤷‍♀️

  9. TEACHER ARE THE ONES MAKE EVEN THE PRIME MINISTER BE WHERE HE IS TODAY TEACHERS MUCH BE RESPECTED IN ALL WAYS

  10. Industrial action is nothing new for teachers! Teachers work the hardest but get the least pay as professionals!
    Matter of fact, it’s the same in most, if not all countries! That’s my reason for migrating!! In addition, you’re asked to resign early even though you’re in great health!!
    Remember when we had to tell JAG “Leggo de bag!”

  11. The question people should be asking is who are these people that are granted the licenses, and are they affiliated to ministers .

  12. What is going on in Jamaica? OMG, Jamaica is in big trouble.! And only some politicians are making billions of dollars for themselves and dosen’t care about no body else, wow, unbelievable.!!!!
