Dear Editor, On behalf of persons using the Freeport Exit, I wish to warmly congratulate and thank the Honourable Minister of Works and Infrastructure and Mr Hayden Phillips of PURE as well as contractor Jusamco for the expansion of the lane off the highway into Freeport. The...

Dear Editor: Having looked at the re-run of the debate on the parliament channel on the Dangerous Dogs Bill, I must confess my surprise over the walkout by the PNM. The Attorney General was clearly engaging Mr Deyalsingh in some amusing, lively and colourful crosstalk when they...

Dear Editor, Picong or Piquant is light comical satirical banter, usually at someone else’s expense. It is the way in which West Indians tease, heckle and mock each other in a friendly manner. Apart from the average citizen, picong has been acceptably used in society by...

Dear Editor: Unfortunately I was not able to hear the presentation given by William Bratton on his recent visit to Trinidad and Tobago. However, last week while at the Harvard Business School I had the distinct honour of hearing a first hand account by Reverend Jeffrey Brown, one...

Dear Editor: This Calder Hart issue has me perplexed. We had  the Uff Commission, which cost the country over $60 million and which highlighted some serious issues that ought to be investigated. We have had the impetus by the Office of the Attorney General to have the Calder Hart...
