The public should have the choice of purchasing the proper drugs, or the bogus drugs that will possibly be imported by the Government.

As long as the real drugs do not disappear from our shelves in exchange for bogus drugs that pharmaceutical suppliers in Trinidad think they can make a profit from. There is a reason that the wealthy in Trinidad seek very little of their healthcare from within the country. It seems that soon we will all need to go abroad for our drugs to ensure that they are reliable and proper.

Does the good Minister know if Trinidad has the proper laws and services in place to investigate and prosecute importers of counterfeit drugs? Was there not an ex prime minister who supposedly had a stroke as a result of poor quality, bogus CDAP drugs?

And now this magnificent creature is dead. What is there to celebrate? That a man with a boat, a gas powered engine, and high tech fishing gear plucked a large and beautiful fish from the ocean?

How big could it have gotten had it not been killed?

Why are persons from other islands being allowed to come to Trinidad and sell their goods to the exclusion of Trinidadians?

Can Trinidadians go to Guyana, St. Vincent, Antigua etc. and setup shop in their markets to sell Trinidad produce?

Wonderful. So to get you fired and to ruin your reputation, all I need to do is accuse you of a crime, give your picture to the police and have them post it in the newspapers. After that happens would it matter that you were innocent?

If we had adhered to the teachings for centuries we would have a lifespan of 25 years and still be living the life of those in the 12th and 13th century.

If we didn't question "morality" and the hallowed teachings of particular faiths we would still think the Earth was the center of the universe.

Stop trying to use Religion to explain your own prejudices. They are YOUR prejudices and fears, not God's.

If you are a true follower of your faith, then please stop using cell phones, television and all computers. You need to live a life of austerity with the ox and the cart and shun all modern advancements including medicine.

Modern advancements were created from those that turned away from your Faith and questioned it. Go back to the land and live like the Amish, otherwise you are not being true to the good book.

Ahhh, you have so many benefits by having a Foreign passport over Trinidadians in their own country.

It is beautiful.

You make no sense.
Neither of the dogs in this case were Pit Bulls.

That's why dog owners are against Breed Specific legislation. They are for legislation that ensures owners secure their property, muzzle their dogs in public where necessary, and are held responsible for the actions of their dogs. Whatever their breed of dog.

I wonder if you ever read anyone's points beside your own?

She would have gotten away scott free with the new Dangerous Dogs Act anyway. That's the real tragedy. Her dogs aren't on the list of Dangerous Dogs. Time to add about 60 new breeds to the list! And then another 10 when people start bringing in other dogs.

Wonder when Trinidad public would realise how insipid breed specific legislation is.

Are they also going to include in this plan installing proper barriers on the highways?

Are they also going to ensure that the road surface is proper and fit for cars travelling at 80kph?

Why do other countries where the average car is far more powerful than Trinidad's little 1.6 engines not have vehicles jumping medians and killing two and three car loads of people?

Because they have proper barriers on their major highways. We don't.

At 80kph if someone loses control and crosses the median, and hits another car also travelling at 80kph then the chance of fatalities is extremely high.

Highway barriers save lives.

Install the proper barriers and cars will not jump the median into the opposite lane.

It is a simple fix that will automatically prevent these multi car deaths that we see constantly in Trinidad regardless of speed/distraction/drunk/sober/ alert status of the drivers.

Next, have proper standards for our highways. Fix potholes when they appear. Ensure that the road surface is smooth and not corrugated and undulating.

Ahh, but as usual it is speed. I'm surprised someone didn't mention that everyone was drunk.

The tragedy is that no matter how many times one reads about cars jumping the median and killing those in oncoming vehicles, Trinidadians never seem to reach the correct conclusion.
