It is with a heavy heart that I once again return to this forum to air views that should by all accounts, be the standard for our country and its development in 2026.

However, in today’s submission, I will be brief, but sharp because all of the discursive stupidity laced talk that we Barbadians tend to like to engage in, brings about not a single result of value, but we love it none-the-less.
The BL&P needs to be relieved of this island’s benefits and economic value.
That business is not beneficial to Barbadians if they are to be examined as a Global Community.

It may be of benefit to a few, and I dare say just a handful, probably less than 2% of the population, but no more.

It is a MONOPOLY. By that definition alone, it CANNOT be unprofitable!
Its profits need to be CAPPED!

It is Canadian owned and as far as my research has shown me, no foreign owned Critical Infrastructure asset of a country, is beneficial to the country. Someone else always has your destiny in their hands.

We cannot achieve Energy Independence with Emera at the help of the BL&P
We CANNOT be competitive in any industry that required large amounts of cheap energy because of Emara and their ownership of the power utility.
Emera pours little into Maintenance of the power grid.

I can go on and on.

The core question to ask is “Why the BLP seems to be turning a deaf ear to the cries of the citizens of this country in favour of the BL&P?“

Seems like the only distinction between these two is the “&”

More coming soon!
