UWP Mahaut candidate hits the road

Thomas wants to turn Mahaut into an industrial area
Thomas

Newly named United Workers Party (UWP) candidate for the Mahaut constituency, Felix “Feelo” Thomas, will hit the road this Saturday in what has been dubbed “Feelo for Maho” whistle stops.

The campaign which will begin from Les Point at 10:00 am will feature the new candidate and will cover the entire Mahaut constituency.

According to a release on Friday afternoon, the campaign from Les Pointe will proceed to Massacre, then move on to Checkhall, River Estate, Canefiel, onward to Sylvania, Desport, Layou Park, Warner, Jimmit, Belfast, Mahaut and will end with a public meeting at Tarou at 6:00 pm.

Thomas said that he looks forward to meeting the people of his constituency, hearing from them and sharing with them his and the UWP’s vision for changing the Mahaut Constituency.

“My Vision for development of the Mahaut Constituency is to see Mahaut become the third commercial and industrial centre of Dominica, where there will be enough good jobs for the people of the Mahaut constituency,” he said in Friday’s release. “The Mahaut constituency is one of the largest constituencies of Dominica and is strategically located for business, agriculture, sports and entertainment.”

He added further that along with Team Dominica, he intends to create an integrated development plan for the various hamlets.

“The pillars of the Mahaut plan will be agriculture, tourism, industrial development, shipping and port development, ICT, entertainment and sports,” Thomas noted. “This will include but not limited to sports and recreation, culture and heritage, music, agriculture, landscaping and beautification, mining , fishing, agro processing and manufacturing.”

He stated that these ideas will bring about “rapid entrepreneurial development, job creation, empowerment of locals and productivity and growth in the national economy.”

Thomas said that he is humbled and grateful to the people of the Mahaut constituency for selecting him as the UWP representative.

“I aim to make Mahaut a thriving commercial and industrial jobs center with first priority being for the people of the Mahaut constituency,” he stated.

Calling on all the people of the Mahaut Constituency to rally with Felix Thomas. Dominica is for all of us and we all are for Dominca

    Some lazy Dominicans who do not want to lift straw to help the country & are only blaming Government and are even vex when Government does not give them a toothbrush to brush their teeth; Tell them You are NOT in that and let them know don’t come & ask you for any favours. You came to lead the people to Work. Tell them go & start collecting their implements of their trade. Let us build the country!No clinic! No clinic!

    Mahaut constituency does not only mean Mahaut proper, it covers Massacre, Canefield, Despore, Sultan, Part of Layou Park, Warner, Campbell, Jimmit and Tarreau but the official name is Mahaut Constituency. Be enlightened

    Welcome to Team Dominica, Mr.Thomas. We in the diaspora will give you all the support you need.
    Mr. Ronnie Isidore has yet to come out and throw his supprt behind you, however, you should not let this derail your plans.
    Ronnie is so quiet on the topic, come on Ronnie do the right thing.

    • 4 choices?
      July 14, 2014

      Resign? Stay in NY? Come home and run as an independent or follow the former UWP candidate 1995-2005?

    Welcome on board Felix, you have made the right choice considering the mess that Dominica has been going through with this current Gov’t. Never before have Da’s name been in so much “Mud.”
    No one respects us any more and certainly investment is at its lowest.
    With your brilliance and expertises , I hope Team Dominica will propel Da to it rightful place in the caribbean and the wider world.
    I am on your train, good luck!

      July 14, 2014

      UWP is going to win in that area any way , so lets include every village.
      Felix , is doing a wonderful job by going out there and feeling the emotions of the masses.
      I trust he will do the right thing once UWP win the next election.

      Layou Park is divided between the two constituency one side of the road is in the Mahaut constituency the other side is senjoe

    You are a breath of fresh air in the political arena. We are certainly going to support you all the way into parliament and make this happen for Team Dominica.
    By all means the candidates that UWP has put up are far more qualified to take Dominica to the level that we want to compete in the international markets.
    Selflessness on the part of UWP unlike the Selfishness on the part of DLP.
    So Dominicans, country before party , look at the potential in this Team, and let’s make them move us forward.

    Felix I never thought you were a politian until now we would meet up in pond case by shyan and talk but never in my wildest dream I thought this would come true well my boy you have black less trembling right now mahaut people will now see true and honest representation so go for it bro god be with you

  13. July 13, 2014

    Today, I look at my friend Felix putting his name up for elected office and say to myself this is a courageous man. I say the later because before the month is up someone is going to find numerous negative things to say about him and his family. I say these things with tremendous disappointments of how we have evolve as a people lacking the respect be it opposition or governing supporters. I know politics has had some level of name calling, but never in my lifetime have I seen it gotten that nasty.

    A few days ago I heard someone commenting on they know a particular coworker does not support the ruling party and I ask myself whether we are in a democracy. I mean the very nature of my name being used as a dummy name is part of the fear invoked by the limited tolerance in our society today, and not one mature individual from both party will join hands and say let’s meet on such and date to show solidarity against hateful campaigns. What is really the big deal with men/women saying enough is enough? Well, I am asking for the leaders in other areas of our society (Church Pastors, Priest, Engineers, Lawyers, Doctors, Teachers and others) to form a group to eradicate this moral decay of our society. Are we going to say this does not concern me or my family? Are we going to concern ourselves with the lower clients or contracts if we join such a group that will lower our revenue; is this more important? Or are we going to wait to accumulate our wealth and spend it just quickly to provide security for ourselves and family? Trinidad is not too far from our country and I have many friends who are fearful to travel back to their country in fear of being killed senselessly. This message is one that is appealing to everyone to take a step back and see where this country is going and to ask ourselves whether we are going to make people with their individual ambitions take us down the deep end of crime, violence and extreme poverty. Dominica, is not one person and so we need to demand better of anyone who represent us and to unmask this God complex people attain when they become members of parliament; after all they are five years from being unemployed and therefore nobody is better than the next person.

      @Courage Is not someone will find many negative things to say about him. Say it well. It is LABOURITES will find many negative things to say about him. They cannot discuss issues and that is why. Their politics is one of insult and denegration. That’s why our country is in this sorrowful state. It because of these fools we have leading us. AND THAT’S WHY WE HAVE TO DUMP THEM!
      Just listen to “The Animal Shiow”, and you will understand what i am saying.

      JP——– It is so much better to encourage someone , who is seeking to serve in a greater capacity , and true it requires accountability and responsibility . Think of what you said , when they get in power it’s something else , what if those who are in power all these years , and were not ready , could you imagine ? I tell you , I’d rather have change , change change . No doubt , folks are chanting ,” change is a must “

    July 12, 2014

    All the way with Feelo!!! Mahaut is yours my boy so keep on moving with Team Dominica. I can see Blackie trembling in his shoes now because danger is at his door step. Let him follow and go house to house too…..lol. Change is a MUST, NOT an option.

    “I AM FOR CHANGE; ARE U?”

    It would appear, the Skeritt led DLP has not yet found an answer as to how to stop UWP Team Dominica led by Mr. Lennox Linton. After the twenty one in twenty five and the five in five, the DLP said it was only a passing cloud and not a rain storm, well ,it is still raining popularity. Propaganda and political mapuis will not work. There are many countries in the Carribbean which have recuited Mr. Linton to run their campagnes and has done a tremendous job, what do you expect him to do with his own. Remember the days of DBS radio, the man with the master plan, I understood he has teamed up with Mr. Lennox Linton, what a combination.

    Feelo congrats keep on trucking move within the constituency and talk to the voters.
    Understod since coming onboard your parl rep doing house to house but to little to late.
    The siboulie deport road, the desport popo road the warner hillsborough road etc.
    Keep on doing what you a doing bcuz this will be the next town city when your govt comes in power. Change is a must not an option.

    July 12, 2014

    Any politikal party thinking of constructing a two lane motorable road passing outside the sea shore from Rockaway to the Layou River.
    That would help to alleviate the congested traffic through Massacre and Mahaut. What about that mr Thomas?
    (like the road through Charles Lake, USA)

    Dear DNO

    FEELO and Uwp Team Dominica Vision is:
    ” To Change Mahaut Constituency from neglected Villages into a booming New Town” with jobs, government services,a thriving Agriculture and Tourism Market and a Sporting Facility to accommodate National and Regional Sports.”
    Pls correct caption below picture. It is somewhat misleading. Caption should read:” FEELO and UWP Plan to Change Mahaut from neglected Village to
    Booming New Town”.
