Roseau, Dominica, October 29, 2018 – October 30, 2018 marks the official opening of the 2018/2019 cruise season.

I love to hear this. To Be Honest, I thought Dominica was a lost soul after Maria, but God guided us and looked over us and here we are today. I must say good job to the current government specifically Roosevelt Skerrit.
And Roseau the main city smelling, Portsmouth is like an abandoned garden, our roads are like a city that was bombed with so many missing bridged and government has not done much to clean up sites. I really wonder if they going to have those tourists visit the president palace and the financial center, since that’s all we have.
As usual the lyrics of the song will continue:::
“””They Pass On a Buss”””Pee Peeep,”””They Pass on a Bus”””
CBI money do not trickle down
Tourism $$$$$ do not trickle down …They kill agriculture.
Robbie Tonge will continue to blow his wizened trumpet.
Dominica will continue to plummet deeper into poverty!!!!
Skerrit Must Go
Skerrit Must Go
LAZY Skerrit Must Go Now
