OPINION

Premier has misled everyone — again

David Burt: For the second week in a row — Premier Craig Cannonier has taken to the Op-Ed pages to mislead the people of Bermuda.

Bean: Communication is key

Marc Bean: Lack of proper communication has been the demise of many relationships; likewise, it can be the demise of the relationship between politicians and the people who trust us to represent them in Parliament.

Letter: Heatley case another blow for accountability

The actions of the Commissioner of Education do not demonstrate leadership commitment to the Ministry of Education or the people of Bermuda, having apparently looked for a way out so soon after appointment to a critical post.

Hit the road, Heatley, and don’t come back

Christopher Famous: Failure to invest in our students today will equate to a widening of class divisions based not only on race but on education and employment abilities as well.

HEATLEYGATE / SCHOOL CHIEF SAGA

Our petulance discouraged Dr Heatley

Bryant Trew: Is the anger and outrage over the potential departure of Dr Edmund Heatley additional proof that Bermuda is stuck in the 1980s?

Lots of us are now viewing TV through the world wide web

Christopher Famous: Recently many Bermudians have begun installing Internet television. Whether it be Apple TV, Roku or some similar device, it seems the days of CableVision boxes are becoming limited.

We need a workforce of more than 40,000

Larry Burchall: If Bermuda is to avoid an impending economic implosion, 40,000 cannot be a “fixation”. Now, 40,000 is too low. To avoid implosion, Bermuda’s filled jobs count must go far above 40,000.

Our Budget sets us on the road to recovery

Premier Craig Cannonier: The OBA Government's Number One objective is to get Bermuda’s economy on track to recovery and renewal, where people are finding jobs, incomes are growing, government finances are stable and there is care for people most in need.

The OBA attracts the most damaging publicity

Christopher Famous: Elected and appointed officials of the PLP have a sworn duty to protect the interest of Bermudians, and Bermuda. Part of that responsibility is to enlighten the Bermudian and Caribbean public about all matters pertaining to the region.

Amid the din, we press on

Premier Craig Cannonier: Bermuda politics has always been pretty intense — partisan, divisive, acrimonious, noisy. And these past few weeks has seen things ramped up to fever pitch with all sorts of accusations, name-calling and finger-pointing — all of it wearing down people’s spirits and deepening public cynicism.

Unions and OBA must work together... our tourism depends on it

Bryant Trew: Have you ever seen a tourist riding around our fair island on a flamingo-pink Vespa? Me neither. So why does the Department of Tourism advertise a couple riding one...

Bermuda Blue: Just imagine if the speed limit was higher...

Jeremy Deacon: Why is it that cars simply cannot stop at the white line? Why do they have to go three feet beyond and force oncoming cars to swerve into the road?

Roban: 'Would you have let the PLP get away with this?'

Walter Roban on Wednesday lamented the apparent double standard when it comes to criticism of Bermuda's main political parties, saying that Bermuda is capable of better.

Gombey dancing in a minefield is stupid

Larry Burchall: From both Budgets, PLP and OBA, it is clear that the amount of money available for Personnel, Operations, and Services is declining and will decline even more.

How I embraced the past, present and the future

Christopher Famous: Last Wednesday, I had an unexpected dream come true. I walked into The Spot restaurant and caught sight of the legendary labour and political leader, Mr Ottiwell Simmons.
