Haitians create tension in Roseau Market

A scene from the Roseau Market

Dominicans are being called upon to change their attitudes towards Haitian workers, particularly vendors who utilize the Roseau Market.

Haitian vendors were placed under scrutiny over the past several months for vending illegally in the City.

They were asked to vend only in the Roseau Market, a move that has prompted some hostility towards them by some locals.

“They are filling up the market and they bold on it. People like me cannot well sell my products and them Haitians all over the market taking up places locals use to have. Every time we disagree with them on something they would act wrong and strong,” a local vendor told Dominica News Online.

She added further that because of the practice of obeah/witchcraft, many locals are scared to let their voices be heard about what’s going on in the market.

“I hear vendors saying they not telling them nothing because is voodoo they doing, but me aself don’t give two hoots. I want to make a living for my family. I have been in that market for more than ten years and I not making any Haitian come and tie me up,” she added.

Meantime President of the Dominica Haiti friendship Association Roland Desire told a local radio station that he is happy that the Haitian Vendors are now cooperating with the authorities in charge.

He said he wants to see a change in the attitudes towards Haitian vendors in Roseau.

    Dominicans should stop buying from the Hatians. Again, you find Dominicans hating each other, and they would prefer to support the Hatian than to buy from their own brother. If you don’t buy from the Hatians, they wont prosper. Dominicans should support local. I agree, send those Hatians back to Haiti. I don’t like them. They are evil.

    This is sad to see how ppl can have prejudice. You that are talking bad about Haitian and Haiti, did you take the time to really know Haiti and its ppl. Im always laughing inside when I present myself as an Haitian and see the answers I got. Nobody 80% of the time want to believe Im Haitian. Why? because all what you know about us is that we practice voodoo, we black, we poor, we are less then nothing. I never attend to a vodoo ceremony, I heard a lot of things about voodoo, I read books on it, I had friends who had members of their family in voodoo and for you that don’t know, vodoo doesn’t mean black magic. some ppl use the power of the vodoo to do black magic, the same way DR has its black magic, the same way Dca has its black magic, the same brazil has its own, the same way catholic priests use their power to do bad things has well. Its what u believe in. In Haiti, vodoo is a religion and ppl believe in the protection of the spirits like catholic believing in God and muslims in Allah. So all muslims are violent, extremists?
    By the way you have Haitian working Nasa, Haitians in Obama cabinet, Haitians are eminent teachers in big universities around the world just to say so. Are they practicing voodoo to be were they are. Stop looking for excuses for what you know you are not doing the good or the best way.
    I understand the concerns of a lot of you but tell me, why are you not proactive? why lots of you so lazy (mentality)? (i dont want to frustrate no body) How can you tell me that somebody coming to your store to buy for 400 ec and u are telling him sorry we are closing. Dominicans do not have the mentality of business, at least most of you. Exempl. Whitchurch was never open late and never on sunday and what happen when Save a lot was opened on sunday? They had to make a move to and now ppl happy that they can go to Whitchurch on sunday. Subway closed on sunday even when boat are coming? Allu complaining that tourism is not better and when boats are their NO WHERE is open. Roseau shut down, no sorry, Chinese shops are open and the ice cream parlors, kfc. Once every body is legal and do not have unfair privilege, all of us should be happy of the competition. Nobody should be above the law or be unfairly persecuted by the law. If Haitian are paying their place on the market why they cannot be there. You, instead of bad talking, you should try to understand how they are able to that and do better or more. stop staying at your home and wait for vendors to come and sell you then come to the market to sell one lime for 1 ec. If you take your transport go to the land and buy your produce Im sure you would sell things cheaper, have better quality product and you would made more benefits.
    Don’t be stupid, blame yourself and stand up for your rights if you believe unfair business is going on. Every body in Dominica are free to express themselves and make their living in respect of the law.
    I myself was concern about ppl selling everywhere on the sidewalks and was for measure to regulate informal selling because I know what can happen. Like I said once you respect the law you should be eligible to do business as anybody else. The one who will wake up at 3 to prepare himself to go to work and will close his business doors when the last customer is gone will always have the advantage over the one who ready to close 10 minutes before 4pm or 5pm.
    Even in the market all sellers should have their own steady customers who will never go elsewhere than come to them. Instead seating there and thinking : that is my price, u buy u buy, u dont buy zafe somebody else will buy….. Hellooo !!!!

      I am a practicing Catholic, proud of my faith, beliefs and devotions and a great defender of my faith, at the same time being fair and just. I object to some of what you stated. Keep Catholic priests out of this issue for this is not the issue which is being discussed. Furthermore you are generalizing. Too many of you tend to deviate from the subject matter. It also does not assist the situation addressed. There are those who criticize and speak evilly of others. They are no better and in need of godly transformation. God knows this too well.
      What type of religion is voodoo? Today, there are people who refer to all sorts of ungodly beliefs as godly religion and spiritual. Wrong!
      People may have their rituals but they cannot consider it as being correct to practice.
      A few years ago I read that a marine died in Afghanistan or Iraq. When he was about to be buried, his wife placed a non-religious article as that of a satanic cult on his coffin. She was told to remove it. Obviously she was upset. So they believe in this and that and think that these things will help their loved ones and to be saved. Wrong again!
      Haitain voodoo cannot be compared or to one and the same to God, worshipping Him, practicing the faith, praying to Him and to utilizing blest Catholic religious articles which are called Sacramentals.
      Those who practice voodoo or any such rituals which are not of God and which do not belong to God will not receive His blessings, His graces and spiritual enlightenment.
      God is The Only One who protects us and permanently so as we call on Him.
      Our Lord Jesus Christ said: “You cannot serve God and others. You will either love one and hate the other.” Those who love God and believe in Him do not practice what He opposes and what offends Him as such rituals.
      This is why voodoo is considered evil, sinful and satanic. It cannot be any other way. Voodoo cannot lead you and take you to Heaven or anyone for that matter. It is not something which anyone can present to God as being holy and pure to justify their entry into Heaven.
      You know what else, I would fear those who practice voodoo and who deal with such ungodly matters. These are not people I would wish to associate with as friends. I would keep them far away from me and my surroundings. They can bring evil on others especially if they envy them.
      At the same time, to be fair and just, people must be respected. The Dominican government allowed Haitians into the country and they have to be humanely treated in the same manner when we migrate to other countries. They are also entitled to this freedom.
      The Haitians must work for their livelihood. If this is what they can do, grow vegetables, then so be it. I also recognize that Dominican residents will feel that the influx of Haitians can take away their daily bread.
      They may be a good example to Dominicans who are idle and lazy, to do something for their livelihood. These could learn something from them.
      The same applies to other countries where there has been an influx of immigrants. Citizens of those countries do not appreciate this influx for financial reasons and worst yet those who cause trouble and are a danger to the society.
      When people migrate to other lands, they obviously transport their beliefs. Those beliefs are not always beneficial to their newly adopted countries, as voodoo and other such ungodly rituals.
      Therefore, I would not endorse voodoo. I would not condone it. I would not applaud it and be complacent about it. I would rather fear it and those who practice it. The devil is in the offing. It is surely not of God. God knows this better than you, others and I do. He knows what is being said and done when conducting those rituals and who they are calling on. If they are calling on God during those rituals, they are committing the sin of heresy and blasphemy. They could cause a scourge on the country and residents because God is highly offended.
      I pray that God protects Dominica and its national residents. I also pray that God will enlighten you and eradicate such evil and additional ones from Dominica.
      May God bless Dominica and its residents.

    Do you remember! We are blessed .. we were once there.. We have graduated.. Thank you Father. Bless your holy name and thank you for blessing. We are not ungrateful. Praise and Honour to you.

    Do you remember when we use to receive the pounds and US Dollars. We do still receive a lot. It was about our ancestors going to make a living to feed those children they had left behind for Grannies and extended families to take care of.

    Be objective people. That is not nice to say. We were once there. We have been blessed and graduated to the extent that we are like London, Guadeloupe, St Maarten, St thomas where our early bros and sis went to develop themselves and us when they sent the clothes, pounds, us dollars etc.

    Let us not be ungrateful. Let us be thankful!

    Yes, healthy competion is good…But at the same time haiti is a prime example of the so called good that come from these people…Why is it we are the only country that allow people to come here and do what they want??? They dont want them in Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad or anywhere in the caribbean as a matter of fact..A haitian would not be allowed to get off the plane in any other country, why the hell are we showing love for a people that have no love for us? Dominicans complain that chinese are taking over all the shops,,,thats because we allow them to…We have to take control of our own destiny…Its quite simple, if we stop supporting the hatians and chinese theywill have no choice but to go elsewere…But to get all Domincans to agree on something for the betterness of the nation is another problem we have…The chinese sells goods in Dominica that are banned from other countries, but they are allowed to sell them in Dominica…Can you see my point here fellow Dominicans?? We need to wake the ***k up!..

    It is very appalling and hypocritical of some of our Dominican people to abhor so much prejudicism and hatred towards other fellow human beings simply because they were not born and raised in Dominica.

    It is sad to see the double standard of our commentors on DNO.

    Our people complain about Haitians taking over and that they should be deported back to Haiti. Can you imagine that? How would you feel if the whites say that Dominicans should go back to their country especially those residing in UK, US and Canada to name a few? The prophet Muhammad said, no one is truly a believer until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself. The bible teaches, do unto others as you would like them to do unto you. Where is the justice and compassion from the hearts of some of our Dominican people? Why do some of you clap, dance and sing in church, say Amen, yet you have so much hatred in your hearts towards your fellow Caribbean brothers and sisters in humanity?

    Second, many Dominicans practice voodoo and black magic. We learnt about Dominicans going to Guadeloupe to ‘garde zafei,’ we hear so many alleged cases of voodoo practiced here, sometime ago, a Dominican lady was caught with voodoo dolls at customs right here in Dominica. It is known that some Dominicans are involved with voodoo and black magic. Thus we must stop the hypocrisy. Voodoo and black magic should be eliminated from anyone no matter his or her nationality. We are too hypocritical as a people.

    Thirdly, ‘Haitians are taking over.’ Do you know what Allah has said? Words to the effect, ‘If you do not appreciate what you have or applying it well, GOD WILL REPLACE YOU WITH A PEOPLE AND THEY WOULD NOT BE LIKE YOU.’ This is what Dominicans are going through now. Many of us have abandon our God given land. We have forgotten ‘Apres Bondie c’est later,’ = After God is the land. We have indulged in our evil desires thus has caused a high importation bill. We fail to work the land, improve our Agricultural techniques and revolutionize our Agriculture. Our young boys do not want to work hard, they want to engage in drugs, kill their fellow men in Guadeloupe for quick money and material things. They have the bling bling mentality! Pathetic and sad, thus the Haitians are working your lands. We should be employing the Haitians to work our land, we should be selling our produce, NOT HAITIANS RENTING OUR LANDS? We have failed miserably as a people thus we have ourselves to blame.

    Fourthly, ‘Haitians are bold.’ Of course Haitians are bold, they have Touissant L’Overture in their blood. We have failed to stand up for our rights as a people. We are very complacent and retarded. Everything goes up and everyone afraid to strike, afraid to sacrifice. All we do is grumble in a corner with one another about the problems like jacka**es. We lack dignity and honour as a people. We are worse than the scum of the earth! When will we wake up as a people, wake up from your slumber.

    ‘Haitians and Chinese are taking over.’ They are taking over because you are doing nothing about it! Very soon you will be second class citizens in your own country. It is happening rapidly before your very eyes. Haitians are renting places to open a barber shop. Go on Hillsborough St for e.g, each of them rented one place, share the work and the bill. Go by Casbully Mall on King George V Street. Look around you, they are taking over the Agriculture because we let them. The Chinese are having all the cheap businesses. We fail to come together, bring our resources together to take a loan to buy or rent properties to do business for ourselves thus the Chinese are teaching you how it’s done. We have failed miserably as a people. Lack of vision of a people they are bound to perish, divided they fall. Dominicans are too filled with animosity, hatred and envy towards each other as well as other people.

    Next quote, ‘Chinese are stingy and don’t like to pay.’ Dominicans are just as bad. Many employers are very oppressive to their workers here it’s pathetic, simply go to the Labour division and you will understand what I am talking about. Many people do not know their employment rights and also are afraid to speak out. They are victims of bullying and are underpaid.

    In conclusion, everyone must be given a chance in life. Everyone should be treated like a dignified human being. Dr. Martin Luther King said words to the effect, ‘A man should be judged by the content of his character not by his race.’ Allah says as translated in chapter 49:13 of the Holy Quran, ‘We have created mankind into different nations and tribes so that they may know each other but the best amongst you are the most honourable and righteous.’ Stop the extreme hatred and envy against foreigners who want to make a life here, we would not like the same to happen when we travel. Be just and fear Allah!

      Very good comment Muslim_Always.

      Our people forget when our own Dominicans used to go on Federal Maple and Federal Palm to London. Dominicans are everywhere in the World. Go and do a census and you will see how much. In London, America, Antigua, Guadeloupe etc. Haiti is in the Caribbean and as you rightly said ‘ They have Toussaint L’Overture in their blood”. We have so much we don’t appreiciate that others from other states /countries see to appreciate and make use of. What if our own people in our lands were treated just as we want to treat a ‘caribbean sister national”?

      The Creator is looking down on us. How can we say we love him when we cannot love our fellowmen we can see? What hypocrisy!

I dont hear people from the states especially MIAMI complain about haitians..How would we feel if most of the countries dominicans occupy would say they dont want us in their countries because of the things we do like murder, stealing etc.. What would we say if Guadeloupe the country where I was born says they dont want dominicans in their country because of all the crime n stealing that these young guys are doing to have money n material things.. Thank God for haitians , chinese n any other race that wanna come dominica and do business.. I wish the Arabs and serians would come do business here too because we dominicans are too lazy to do it…

As we say its all about Caricom. however the problem i have is that …i personally dont feel that the haitians are contributing to our economic development. most of the monies they make in this country is sent back to haiti., so our countryis being drained of what it doesnt even have much of. i realized that there are more western unions and monygrams in this country than there are supermarkets…AS i said its not a problem having them there. the problem is there contribution to our financial growth.

    I can understand someone wanting better for their self, but seriously I cannot stand Haitians.

    My problem with Haitians is that they lie too dang much, always looking for discount or wanting everything for free. I went to a doctor’s office recently, one comes in to see the doc, asking the secretary if he has to pay, she tells him how much he then goes on to say he doesn’t have any money. When he realizes he will not see the doc if he doesn’t pay he tells the secretary he only has $ 50.00, when she tells him he has to pay the full fee he says he’ll come back. He lives, no more than two minutes later, he comes back and tries to bargain to pay $60.00, when he realizes the secretary will not change her mind he pulls out a roll of money from his pocket, pays the full fee, gives his information and waits to see doc. I have gone to stores and seen them do the same thing.

    Those people think the world owes them something.

    LET’S BE HONEST WITH OURSELVES DOMINICA. THIS YOUNG GENERATION IS NOT INTERESTING ING CULTIVATING THE LAND. THEY ARE MORE INTERESTING IN WEARING THE NICE CLOTHES AND HAVING FUN. BUT EVERY THING THAT WE HUMANS UTILIZIES ON EARTH GENERATES FROM THE LAND. THE HAITIANS ARE SMART. THEY CAME TO DOMINICA AND SAW THAT THE LANDS ARE ABANDON SO THEY PUT IT TO USE. PLEASE DO NOT HATE THESE PEOPLE. THEY IN TURN ARE SAVING YOUR LAND FROM EROSION FROM LACK OF USAGE. ALL WE LIKE TO DO IS GOSSIP AND BRING DOWN ANOTHER INSTEAD OF GIVING A HELPING HAND. LAND IS THE BASIC OF MANKIND SURVIVAL. WE SAY WE ARE POOR AND DO NOT HAVE FOOD TO EAT WHILE THE LAND IS THERE FOR US TO SELF PROVIDE. IN SOME PLACES ON EARTH , THE LAND IS NOT FERTILE TO PLANT ANYTHING. SOME DO NOT EVEN HAVE PROPER DRINKING WATER WHICH IS THE SOURCE OF ALL LIFE. WE HAVE IT IN ABOUNDANCE. WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT WE HAVE. HOWEVER, THE HAITIANS KNOWS, SO LET’S TAKE A TEACHING MOMENT FROM THEM.

    thank you sadist well said. its not there fault man . blacks are thought to hate each other man . thats why we dont progress like the other minorities, look at the indians the chinese the jews .They all doing better than us. the willie lynch theory working on us. I recall the natives of antigua and guadeloupe feels the same way about dominicans.sadly i dont hear about hatians committing crimes but i have heard of alot of dominicans going to other people country and (guadeloupe ,antigua ) and doing hideous crimes. oh so all you stop blaming grand bay , or guadeloupe, st.lucia people for doing obeah. Dominicans have more in common with Haitians than we realize or care to admit. ie creole , music, colonization under france. love each other

    DNO, your headline is probably misleading. It implies that the Haitians are the source of tension in the market – is that really the case? Or is their presence there the source of tension between them and traditional vendors? That’s two different things, and you should be aware of that.

    Insofar as their apparent revitalization of the local produce market,I think that’s a good thing; competition breeds better products, better service, better prices. That’s a winning formula for Dominicans, so I cannot see why consumers would be against that. But then again, this is Dominicans we’re talking about here; those are the same people who protested the more competitive prices of imported fruit at Save-A-Lot (grapes, etc) in comparison to the much higher prices at other establishments, somehow demanding the prices be raised so that they can pay it instead.

    • Peeping Tom
      April 27, 2011

      “DNO, your headline is probably misleading. It implies that the Haitians are the source of tension in the market.” Well said!

      The problem is not the Haitian presence but the attitude of Dominican vendors who cannot compete with the Haitians because too many of them, the Dominican vendors, are often too greedy; looking for big bucks in one banana. It is the Dominican vendors who are unhappy and are complaining because they see the new competition as a threat. The Haitian vendor has had the same impact on the local economy as what Courts did many moons ago when it arrived in Dominica with Hire Purchase. Now, pretty much all major furniture vendors in D/ca offer hire purchase services.

      The Dominican vendors are scapegoating and instead, should change their pricing and greedy ways. Personally, i only buy from a Dominican vendor if i cannot do otherwise. I either buy from the Haitian or run to a supermarket!

    The Chinese are the ones putting Dominicans out of business. They don’t employ Dominicans.
    They don’t spend here. They do not marry locals here. They don’t speak our Patois and Cocoy language to make matters worse.

    This sounds like what used to happen in England when West Indians first started going there. They would beat us up kill us throw us under busses call us names give us second rate jobs, ask about our tails and what tree did we use to live in. Dominicans you are doing the same thing to the people who come to you for refuge. One day I was speaking to an English woman telling her about ‘my country’. She quietly told me that I have no country except that I am a world citizen, because we were brought here as slaves, and the caribs came from somewhere else and met others here so nobdoy belong to no where and everybody belong to everywhere. The concept of who belongs where is a primitive one in this global village. If you cannot live with other human beings is not the animals you will be able to live with, so the best thing for you to do is to buy a little boat and go floating in the sea and you can belong to that and nobody will come there and trouble you.

  33. Food security
    April 26, 2011

    Any COUNTRY with an ABUNDANCE of WATER and FERTILE SOIL should be on a sound footing to propel itself forward. But in the absence of Planning, Vision, Good Governance and Love for country, the economy declines, and people’s standard of living gets worse. Govt. has failed the people miserably. Agriculture is on the Back burner. The rural folks are bawling because of the insignificant investment in Agriculture and the attendant problems, e.g. lack of markets, low productivity, etc. etc. etc. Imagine hearing talk of Tourism as the main revenue earner to the detriment of Agriculture? Food we talking about. Food SECURITY. What could any Dominican do without FOOD? Our importation of food is astronomical. Millions upon millions of dollars are sent overseas to buy foodstuffs that could be easily grown here.

    The weakest and most inefficient Minister in Govt. is the Minister of Agriculture. Doesn’t that tell us something? The Govt. has failed to encourage or mobilise Dominicans to be engaged in Agriculture, to earn a decent living. Instead govt. has initiated a policy of dependence, handouts, begging. It has instituted a ‘Corruption Clinic’. Even the Director of Audit commented that that Begging programme lacks monitoring, transparency and/or accountability. That clinic is designed to bolster Skerritt as a Father-Giver.

    The Haitians realizing that the country is RICH with its SOIL and plenty WATER are making their moves, and taking advantage of the opportunities. It is Dominicans led by an incompetent DLP Govt. that refuses to see Agriculture as a viable development alternative. The Haitians are SMARTER than most of us. It seems our food security will be dependent on the hard work and involvement of the Haitians working the land. A laziness has crept up on many Dominicans because the political directorate encourages stretching out the hand and Skerritt will put something in there. Where is the boat to transport farmers produce to Barbados as Skeritt promised? Fooled the farmers again? CRAPAUD IS SMOKING OUR PIPES. Since when Dominicans have developed a dislike for working the soil, producing food for life? FOOD OUI. We are a hard working people, but now it is easier to go to the Corruption clinic than to work hard for ones livelihood. The Haitians are LAUGHING AT US. ONLY TIME WILL TELL.

    • Homeboy
      April 27, 2011

          Are the Haitians or Chinese taking away your land? If not, then there should be no problem in these people living and working in Dominica. If the Haitians come to our land and fight for and take away our property and cultivate them and sell the goods, then I see a problem, but as far as I can read, they have not done such. So live and let live. We all migrate to one country/state or another, and we do so to make a better living for ourselves and family, we do not commit crime and respect each. Now anyone who can work the land and produce and sell in the market should be a good thing for the Island. God knows we need to get some good produce in the market. Take a chill-pill Dominicans.

      Agree with you 100000%, give them Haitian an inch they will take a foot and this is definitely what’s taking place in DA, this is the only island /country them will do that, they are not welcome in the Dominican Republic and elsewhere, soon they will be the ones running the island, this is just the beginning of things to come

      The very same things they did to Dominica in Guada, bad talking Dominicans, wherever Dominicans had jobs they would go back to the employers and offer their services for lest even going as far as saying that Dominicans need to go back to their English island, many of them were deported from the USA, needless to say how many of them were in jail in Haiti before the disaster took place and end up running to Dominica

      Haitians do not care about us, there is no way a Dominican would go to Haiti and get jobs over Haitians, one thing i know for sure in happened in Guada any where these people occupied/ doing agriculture whenever they move nothing can grow on the soil, Dominicans must go to Guada and to hear of houses and land and what happened when the Guada people started running them out of their country, they are a bunch of boldface people, they destroyed many of their own and this is exactly what is taking place in Dominica

      Many of them running from Dominica with Dominica’s Passport,English names committing crime and dropping the Dominican Passport where they committed their crimes and flee with their Haitian Passport, the Haitian man caught smuggling Haitians in Guada, he and his wife was caught with Haitian Passport and Dominican Passport the wife was send back to Dominica and the husband is in jail in Guada when caught they gave the Guada authority Dominica Passport though they had their Haitian passport, this talk for itself, sorry for Dominicans they will soon take over the island, something they can and will never try to do in JA

    I always cringe at the ignorance and stupdity of Dominicans when I read the comments on this site. I guess we should send the Haitians back and Dominicans should be sent back to Dominican from whatever counrties they have taken up residence. Haitians are in Dominicans because they are looking for better opportunities just like Dominicans who have fled Dominica in search of better opportunities. We are no better than the Haitians so Dominican need to stop wearing their ignorance on their sleeves like badges of honour. If Haitians are allowed land to plant and they can produce food and sell it to us at a reduce cost then it obvious that we have been taken advantage of by other Dominicans. Healthy competition is always good. Maybe without the haitians some Dominican would not be able to buy certain items especially when they are deemed scarce. I say fly the Haitians in in droves, the more consumers we have, the better the market.

      Dominicans do not exhibit the type of behavior them Haitians have , there is no way a Dominica will go to an employer in the USA, St Thomas, Canada, UK or any other country and bad mouth their citizens to their boss to get their jobs this is Haitians culture, Dominicans were being smoked by Haitians all over, i have a family member with a salon in the UK and her business almost go down the drain because of a Haitian woman who was competing with her and saying bad things about her to her clients

      We are no better than the Haitians, i say hell yes we are, in foreign countries Haitians tend to believe that they are better than us Dominicans and criticizing us to the lower degree, when they are scared of other island people in foreign they have too much to say about us, all bick tom and harry can come to Dominica and so what they please with us, whereas we cannot go to their country and do the same, it’s all about them making their money, when it is all said and done and there is nothing remaining for them in Dominica, they will try to move to other countries where they are not welcome, just a matter of time

        I reiterate, we are no better than Haitians. One’s nationality does not determine what one does to get a job. The example you have given can be said of persons from a host of different countries. Right here in Dominica, we speak poorly of each other in order to get jobs, delay or stop promotions, etc. Stop being blinded by your emotion.

    God is good all the time and is the master of all the universe so why are our people so afraid of Obeah/ voodoo since when we as God fearing people in Dominica give dominion to the devil works over God work? I want to know who is running our country? It seems its just the begining of things to come if we do not take a stand and defend our Land then we might as well hand it over to the Haitians and others. I think there is enough to go around and we can live with others regardless of where they come from wake up my people,wake up!

    This is a complicated one! Imagine a man coming in your home and telling you what to do! But the Haitians are people too. Irrespective of their immigration status. I think the real issue the local vendors have is the issue of COMPETITION!!! The consumer benefits but the producer loses. The Haitian vendors are selling the same produce at a reduced price, so it would behoove the locals to offer the same price or lose their customers. Prices of all commodities are on the increase so if the average Dominican can get a break then I am for it.

      One other concern should be the maintenance of the land. This is not a personal attack on Haitians but I just want to point ou that in Haiti, there is indiscriminate cutting down of trees, leaving the soil unprotected resulting in unfathomed DEFORESTATION.
      the land owners renting the land o them should ensure they are stewards of the land and the environment and ensure they practice sustainable agriculture. That can be enforced by the agricultural officers in the various agricultural districts.

      Dominicans we have so many of us in foreign countries. I am sure that there is something in the constitution only allowing natural born DA’cans to hold office.

You are one of those who believe that keeping down another man is the way to get up? Well the amount of energy you will lose trying to keep down an ambitious person, you should spend that energy to build up yourself.

    Oh dear, oh dear! And I thought we hailed them as “our brothers and sisters”. Or is that sentiment mere hypocrisy and we don’t really mind as long as they pay their cash upon entry, work for low wages, keep quiet and allow us to make some “largen chjes” again when we illegally smuggle them to the French territories? We have to be honest with ourselves and them. If we let in we must treat them equally, fair and square.
