You know full well that is different. Someway…somehow.

Anyways, Jetgate!!!!!!!!

But, if you want to engage about JetGate, you probably should exhibit some honesty and talk about the original JetGate. And it’s all a matter of public record, no liable or slander here.

When Dr. Brown was Bermuda’s premier (2006 – 2010), he also took the cabinet position of tourism minister. During that period, Bermuda spent $41 million on tourism advertising.

On Brown’s watch, the government signed Globalhue to handle the account from 2006-2011. Brown and Globalhue CEO Don Coleman are longtime friends. Coleman had given Brown a ride on his private jet. The contract was renewed without a competitive bid in 2009 and Globalhue overbilled Bermuda to the tune of $1.8m.

During the Brown/Globalhue regime, tourism declined 35%.

No, that is most certainly not the truth, but feel free to keep peddling that lie.

To PLP: They do deserve an explanation – don’t you think?

SCARY times, people. Very scary times.

Curtis must have his head in his hands, being surrounded by such a bunch of Muppets.

Who can forget the absolutely disgusting personal attacks on BTA personnel, including the CEO. Who can forget how they opposed the hosting of the AC, and conveniently now how they try to re-write history.

Are you talking about Nominal GDP or Real GDP?

GDP can be calculated in three ways. Using expenditures, production, or incomes. GDP can be adjusted for inflation and population to provide deeper insights. What is the basis of GDP to which you refer?

“Despite the narrative of Bermuda being in economic decline that some aim to paint, the data supports that Bermuda’s economy is not in decline and there is no recession.”

In July 2019, a survey of local chief executives showed business confidence in Bermuda had dropped 26 points in a year to a record low of 62.8. How do you explain that?

Just last year the Bermuda Government announced that the economy, as measured by gross domestic product, grew by just 0.1 per cent in 2018 after taking inflation into account. That is 1/10 of 1%. That is hardly economic growth.

As you say “the numbers speak for themselves”.

How about this – walk around Hamilton and count the number of empty store fronts and vacant offices. Then look at empty supermarket shelves and the increased cost of living under the PLP.

Then look at debt repayments, and see if you can figure out how we’re going to pay them.

And finally, given their stellar track record in the economy, just think of how good healthcare will be when the PLP get their grubby little fingers on it.
