In every country the majority population runs the Civil Service. In Bermuda the black population is the majority.

Dear History, If you dont wish to see pictures/stories of the Premier of Bermuda there is always a delete button or don’t click on media like Bernews and Facebook or for that the other daily newspaper. Read a book. Cause I have some information for you, he will continue to be filmed as long as he is Premier of BDA.

But there’s a large % of West Indians working in construction. Just some food for thought OJ.

That’s been done.

The learning experience has been going on for close to 100 years now.

The Azores saved Bermuda long ago from their dying shipbuilding industry and has been helping Bermuda ever since. One thing we might learn from them is how to lively up our culture. Colourful festivals happen all summer in Azores and are a great tourist attraction. Since the Potuguese culture is deeply ingrained in ours we might as well embrace it to the full.

Agreed!

The two groups you mention are also far more important than Filipino immigration. If we are going to allow people to immigrate they need to be those that are really necessary. Just because the Filipino consulate visits us every year doesn’t mean that we need to satisfy all of their request. They have a self fulfilling agenda and the Azores does not.

Azores will always prosper because like when they first came here they can clean a toilet and be happy.
Plus they don’t have the BIU and the PLP.

Workers not “Workers Voice”.
Shalom.

If you look at the the job ads of local Portuguese construction landscaping and cleaning companies they always require a ridiculous amount of experience to obtain a job. Maybe that is why so few Bermudians work for them. However if you go to almost any gas station mornings all you hear is the Portuguese language being spoken. Obviously many of these men are new arrivals to Bermuda. The question must be asked just how much experience do all these gentleman have?

Not sure, just maybe they were all hired by government? What are your thoughts on the small % of White or Portuguese Bermudians working in the Civil Service including W&E, Parks Dept, Immigration, Bus & Ferry, Post office, Courts and every other?

Well Onion Juice why is there…..?

Portuguese people and Bermudians have a great unity. I would even say Bermuda and the Portuguese have a more social relationship than with the British.

I am wondering what Bermuda can offer the Azores when it comes to learning from each other?

Premier Dunkley – the roads are tidy, trimmed and cut back. It is a pleasure to drive around the islands of the Azores to see this and the beautiful flowers. Too bad we can’t say the same about Bermuda’s roadsides.

It has taken a long time for any Bermuda government to finally realise the importance of these islands as it relates to immigration into Bermuda. Not only do we have West Indian immigration, but also Azorean immigration. Both play important roles in the community, none more important than the other.

Good work Premier. The Azores has much more to offer Bermuda than what most would think. Not just landscapers and cleaners available to us…let’s reign in the science, environmental, cultural, and business partnerships.
