I too can recklessly assert dat “Trinis equate living abroad , in Eurocentric countries such as Canada , with brilliance and “respect”. In TMan’s ’s case it should be equated with madness….psychiatric evaluation required.”
Give it a rest TMan , and leave the good Doctor alone, as he recuperate from his taxing protest action. Democracy can be ugly at times , and forces Politicians and their followers ,in directions they do not wish to go, be it Dr Kublasing, ex social affairs Minister Verna St Rose , in her quest to make Her Majestick Queen K address incest/ similar forms of child abuses ,rampant male orchestrated suicides in unmentionable quarters of T&T , or RECENTLY ,disgruntled Beetham/Lavantille under employed folks, prepared to push back in whatever means necessary.
In the case of the former , I might not agree with the present re rout situation ,as advocated by him , for the mostly former Point Fortin Squatters , but applaud his efforts , as well as well as firm convictions , so much so that he can put his life on the line – when it is no longer popular.
I understand the embarrassment he had caused to some ,by choosing to not only protest de PNM government’s policies where he deemed it necessary , but the fact that he had de audacity to try and hold Her Majestick Queen K, and her government’s hands to de symbolic fire, via these draconian , Gandhilike operations- but that again is politics.
As for Auntie V, just think what we can have achieved , and or prevented if she was allowed to address some of de taboo social issues that has historically afflicted segment of our Trini , economically depraved , lower caste communities .
These former West point trained guys can be difficult T-Man, but don’t take my word for it . Just ask Uncle Shah, if you doubt me.

Oh yes, Mamboo, these one time squatters , deserve the same consideration that was given to others de la kinky head nation ,locked across the by ways of de East west corridors.
Enough already ! As a promise for authentic post PNM changes , it is time for ‘Her Majestick Queen K ‘, to quit appeasing those male women haters in her party, halt continual pandering to destructive civic leaders, and DESPERATE political financial head cases who conveniently supported her power rush, to finally make land reform de priority as a matter of policy , along with equitable distribution of all our natural resources- irrespective of one’s tribe!

What about compassion for the people in the area where the highway is passing? For 40 years nobody show them any compassion. They had to commute for long hours in heavy traffic every day. Now Kublalsingh stop work on the highway for 60 days, creating in effect a waste of money and a delay in completing the highway. At a time when the weather would be right and good progress can be made. Kublalsingh is a drama teacher not an environmentalist, he used drama to mesmerize people like you. He does not live in area, he does not understand the area, by building the highway commute time will be reduced considerably cutting carbon emissions and saving the environment. The economic benefits will be enormous for now and future generations. It is call progress something that some people don’t understand. I am sure Kublalsingh would not have been given the time of the day if Manning was P.M.
