The claim is that this deal gives up $2 billion in revenue and $620 million profit. That is not true.

By: Beverley Connell

Beverley Connell — Tue, 24 Oct 2017 16:03:35 +0000

…..”The Agreement is requiring Bermuda to give up more than two billion in dollars of revenue over the next 30 years. We believe the country cannot afford what the former government signed us up for.”

This is not true. The revenues from the airport and the expenses from
running the airport are being transferred to the Special Purpose Company.
The $2-billion estimate does not take the expenses into account. Before
airport revenue was raised to help fund the project earlier this year, the
airport operated at a small loss. A LOSS. There is no $620-million profit. Misinformation continues.

The man with integrity that had to resign from cabinet as the Minister of Environment in the last PLP administration because he was handing out SDOs like candy to his fellow PLP MPs?

That’s PLP integrity for you I guess.

The Average Bermudian is already getting enriched by this deal. Aecon is already paying Bermudians to construct the airport so Bermudians are being enriched with an education and financially at the same time. Much of what Aecon will make from the running of the Airport will go back to Bermudians and to maintenance of the airport.

Do you know how many people have lost their jobs since this deal was signed? Because there have been alot take ut from someone who works there it’s terrible

By: The Original Truth™

The Original Truth™ — Tue, 24 Oct 2017 12:20:56 +0000

I know the airport deal and I’m not Bob. All I had to do to find out was to look up the public information that Aecon posted years ago about this deal. Aecon has by Canadian legal obligations put all details needed to know out to the public from the start.

I also know Aecon is the company that built the CN tower, highways in Isreal, an airport in Ecuador and many other successful projects. They have connections to resources that could take Bermuda into the future. The 2 billion is a drop in the bucket compared to what the airport Aecon will build will have the potential to make but it will never make this amount if Aecon is pushed out of the equation.

By: The Original Truth™

The Original Truth™ — Tue, 24 Oct 2017 12:10:47 +0000

Bermudians were benefiting at tax payers expense since Aecon is hiring and paying Bermudians to build the airport under Aecon’s instructions. So Bermudians are being paid and trained but according to the naive we are not getting a good deal. On top of it all the new airport will allow for bigger airline investments in Bermuda’s airport and potentially new airlines accepting us as one of their destinations but according to the naive we can not afford this deal. Now we will have to pay LeighFisher lots of $$$ to tell us what is plain to see we can not afford not to take this deal.

Are you actually comparing the Port Royal deal to the Airport?

I know partisanship rots the brain, but that comparison right there is downright stupidity in its highest form.

Law breaking people? Ever wonder how Bermuda made the list for most cocaine use? Well it wasn’t from Court Street.. Maybe we need to visit some of these Plush Office Blocks and Executive pads on Harbour Road over looking the City, we would probaby need a case of pepper spray for that. If you are going to call locals protesting, a bunch of ‘law-breaking people, the next time you Jay Walk, or travel over 35kph, you should be pepper sprayed the same way.

“The cost to get Aecon out will kill us all”

So what are you implying here? That the deal was a good deal or a Bad deal? If it will “Kill us All” I would call it a Bad deal, but for some reason, you seem to be ok with this… Ahhh right, I get it.

When that useless previous Gov’t pulled out all stops to investigate Port Royal, Lahey Clinic, raided Dr. Browns offices and clinics, Picked a fight with a World Renowned Medical Facility (Lahey) you all sat by rubbing your hands.. Now the world will crash down around us when the shoe is on the other foot? As mentioned, this Gov’t ran on the platform that if elected, they will review the Airport Deal. Well guess what, 20,000 Bermudians elected them! The majority of this country would like a review done on this deal, a deal that siphons off over a Billion dollars for the next 30 years! Help me to understand what part of this you are not getting?

Let me guess, you were ok with a review of the Port Royal Deal? This Gov’t spoke on the platform that if elected, they will conduct a review of the Airport Deal. 20,000 Bermudians were ok with this and therefore elected this Gov’t. So who are you really calling clowns? This project caused a lot of distress in the community. I’d like to know who and what are you really mad at?

Looks like more of what the last PLP administration did.

There is nothing new that has been introduced at all, not even a conceptual discussion.

Come on Mr. Burt and company give us something new or even PROGRESSIVE that is going to drive our country forward!

Nothing new has been introduced by the new PLP regime–Just criticism of the OBA and getting up to speed with what the OBA did.

You are no longer in oppostiion time to govern!

Very sad.
