An attorney who will be contesting the Paix Bouche Constituency for the United Workers Party has been described as an “excellent addition to UWP Team Dominica” by party leader, Lennox Linton.
Eunica Anthony-Victor, who is based in Antigua, will be returning to Dominica to contest the seat, the UWP has confirmed.
“The selection is creating a lot of excitement in the constituency because all of a sudden Paix Bouche is seeing a new way forward,” Linton said. “Paix Bouche is seeing a light at the end of the tunnel in which the Labour Party has plunged this country in the last ten years.”
Anthony-Victor has worked as an attorney in the attorney general’s chambers in Dominica and has been assigned as officer-in-charge at the legal aid clinic. She has been employed at the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank in St. Kitts with an assignment at the Eastern Caribbean Securities Commission. She has also been involved in private practice in Antigua.
She told state-owned DBS Radio that she decided to contest the next general election “after a long soul searching.”
“I decided to participate in this year’s election because of my desire to see my people do better,” she said.
The attorney pointed out that she was not raised by her parents only but by the entire community of Paix Bouche. “I think I have reached a stage in my life that I can give back,” she noted.
Anthony-Victor described herself as not being a ‘party loyalist’ but her desire is to contribute to the community.
“So I did a critical analysis of each party and I feel that I will be better able to contribute with Team Dominica,” she said.
At this point it is unknown who will be Anthony-Victor’s opponent in the constituency since the current MP, Matthew Walter, has indicated he will not be contesting the next general election.
The Paix Bouche constituency consists of the communities of Paix Bouche, Anse de Mai, Calibishie and Hampstead.
Be careful what you wish for. The grass is never greener on the other side. We need people that empathize with the poor man the unemployed etc. change yes however it comes with a price. You had freedom we what change so we voted workers we want then labour now we are desperate for change. Then what it’s just a cycle . Vote wisely not braggers or a bunch of people with Status. Their bread butter already. Hmmmm just saying.
Congrats to team Dominica and this lady. It is people like you that can and will make a change in Dominica. To many wicked politicians getting Rich in this poor little country.
Congrats! Best of Luck!
Hats off to Lennox Linton ….A so called uneducated, novice politician, who is able to attract a very strong team of intelligent and dynamic leaders. This shows without a doubt that you are a great leader and gives us confidence to vote for the UWP. You have given us hope for a brighter future. Change is a must…Not an Option!!!
congratulations Snthony-victor you;ll make a good rep.
I will be on the ground to campaign with you Eunica. I am from the constituency and I can state in no uncertain terms this is the first time I see young men peddling drugs like that, walking hopelessly, mothers with no way out, young people out of school, not a job in site, sports at an all time low. This constituency has experienced an unprecedented level of despair. Current parl rep is totally out of touch, but I can’t blame him too much, the people voted for Roosevelt Skerrit.
One too many of our young men are getting lost at sea at nights on these so-called nightly fishing expeditions.
We need jobs for our young people, agriculture needs a revival, we need our sports facilities so our young men and women can engage in positive activities and can also develop their sporting skills. This constituency is dead and we are looking forward to a resurrection.
Stay above fray, don’t get involved in personality and mudslinging. Get your message across.
Change is a must…..how long…not long….change soon come!!!
You are definitely not from Paix-Bouche….
No one can deny that the Labour party has failed the people of Paix Bouche . I do not think at this stage anyone can do anything to change that. Mr. Walter should be ashamed that after twenty years of his representation the people of Paix-Bouche are so disgruntled. This should have been an easy win for the labour party and persons like Eunica should not have to feel that she has an obligation to help the people of Paix Bouche. If Mr. Walter and the Labour party had done their work this could have been avoided. Now people of Paix-Bouche remember that both women are from Paix-Bouche so please be careful what you say about any one of them. You have a right to vote for any one of them . Try not to get personal ,irrespective of their political affiliation they are both prominent WOMEN OF PAIX BOUCHE
Paix-Bouche has 2 great candidates. Roslyn Paul and Eunica Anthony. That speaks volume about the village. We need to aware that there were other great and relatively young candidates from that village of Paix-Bouche willing to run like Marttan, Sharone, Paul-Role, and Wallise. They would all do well.
What I find amazing is that Ms Paul the biggest opponent of DLP is now the candidate and Ms Anthony the biggest labourite in the village is now on a UWP ticket.
UWP be careful. Ms Anthony is labour in heart. DLP be careful. Ms Paul is not labour in heart.
Trut is DLP will win that seat. Ms Anthony may lose her deposite unless she decides to stay in the country and campaign. People from Calibishie and Bense need to no what she looks like.
WOW Paix-Bouche……… I am sure you know what you’re talking about. monde Paix-Bouche lavey………. Open all you eyes..hmmmm……… your buck……
Paixbouche people don’t even know why they voting Labour.
Lets not fool ourselves, lawyers are not always the best choice for our political arena. They are the biggest problem. Think of America. lawyers create more problem for people who voted them in office than solving. We all remember the Dame Eugenia Charles, right? One of our smartest lawyer. Did you see the condition of our country after she left office? (BTW may her soul RIP). Not because someone is a lawyer means that they are going to be a good representative.
Very good move Eunica. I wish you best of luck. All indications are pointing to a race between you and Roselyn Paul which makes it exciting. I have known Roselyn all of my life and no doubt she is a wonderful person. She is a hard working, community person, a laborite throughout and single mother (that I am concerned about if she gets elected and becomes part of the very corrupt team, in every aspect of the word). Here is my problem with her: As a poto labor and very good friend of both Skerrit and the outgoing parlrep , she will agree with me that Mr. Walter did absolutely nothing for Paix Bouche and she knows Matthew would not get anything from Skerrit. With she being close to both men and was always seen as the future replacement I cannot understand why she could not be a bridge between the two for the sake of the community and her personal platform to get Skerrit do something for the community. When you look at the road where her house is in Teteplat which is part of the constituency and the home of several villagers, not even that she could get cleaned let alone drainage and repaired. Those were done by the UWP. Furthermore, her house is less than half a mile from the “Wire”, which was the village cricket and sports ground. We lost that and our young boys and girls don’t have a place to recreate themselves. She, Matthew and Skerrit did nothing to save it for the community. As we speak the area is being sold for $1.50 a sq. ft. to farmers and not even that they could secure for us. So if after 15 years of pure crap she could not use her influence to help Skerrit and Matthew do something for a very faithful DLP stronghold, why then should I and anyone with any sense of pride vote for her and that same DLP. Although we never voted and supported UWP during their 4.5 term, we must never forget that the only reason we have a community building in Paix Bouche is because of the UWP. So yes, if Paix Bouche constituency wants to continue to vote for love of party then we can count ourselves as another five years of political failure; but if we want to change our fortune, we MUST vote for Change and Eunica is the only one that represents change in this contest since Roselyn clearly represents the same old under a different name.
PAIX-BOUCHE well said
reality you have lost touch
you thick roselyn can win just on labour ticket this time come again you seems the ignorant one, i have never denied that area has strong red irking but general sentiment is the people are suffering just ask walter, if hes sincere hell say the truth,and dont you worry im from the paix bouche area, rosa as you call her wont be getting my vote
i hope you not one singing for the plywood and building material skerrit recently and continue to give one set of people in that area. conscious minded people will take all they can get and on election day do whats right to save our country
and reality if you did not know 27/3/14 was another begging day at viellcase, paix bouche cant beg , he doesnot give walter any to share for his people
please however you are dont be left down
were are heading for progress there is a need to get on board
U may call it begging day but its all them workers and so dats comin there to BEG! Atleast that begging day as u call it is a day where ppl get help from our PM. Eunica might not b a bad person but she has place herself with the wrong set of people. They are all fightin to b head of d party…everyweek u hearin a different person as the head of the UWP. They’re are just nt stable….since las election ppl waitin for manifesto up till nw…so “hmmm” tel me how u can hav these ppl runnin a country. The labour party helpin the elderly ppl UWP vex about that so which says it all they dont care for the ppl… UWP ppl are jus lookin for dr pocket…..they dont care!!! Anyways as i said b4 UWP will neva win the paix-bouche seat, jump high jump low they wont…..mark my words on that! In time to come wi will c
Roselyn Pau is my good friend an she’s been a very nice an honest person all the time if she wanted to see this village an the people move on to great things I say to her don’t fall in this red trap an spoil her life I pass her home everyday an to see the road an see that village now is just a mess not a village I look up to anymore sorry. Its like the road to mr walters pig farm just take that drive people of dominica open ur eyes
Welcome Home to all the UWP proposed candidates.
Prime Minister Skerrit and his Labour Administration have done something real nice, all can see, where Dominicans at home and abroad are proud and want to come back home, people are no longer leaving they are coming home. Isn’t that wonderful?
Everyone wants a pie slice. Dominica is sweet everyone want to come back and be in government. Something that is not possible to achieve anywhere else come home sons and daughters and stay a while even when the voters say is Labour we want.
Don’t think to run back, please, plan to stay a long while and let us get to know you and maybe next time we will consider you as being in our nation’s parliament.
There is plenty all can do to help our country and not necessary in government. There is so much still to be done. The DLP is doing and excellent job but we are a growing developing country. We all know Dominica is on the envy side and everyone have wishes; so come home sons and daughter to our gem beyond compare.
And please, thank God on bestowing Prime Minister Skeritt and his Administration on us.
We welcome every son and daughter no matter where you are presently. 09:54 AM, We are happy that Dominicans want to come back home. Isn’t that telling us everything?
WOYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! Since the MJ/RC/GF constituency is in the bag for the good Dr. Fontaine…. I therefore am now informing Mrs. Victor, that BIGSEXY is ready and willing to come over to do some campaigning when the time comes. Hit me up… You have my number somewhere in that house of yours..
OH!!! To those LABAR@+$ whom have a million negative things to say about the young lady… I know you all can’t shake her mentally nor emotionally… So be smart just vote her into office…
For those of u who don’t. Know, eunica will never ever in lifetime win d paix-bouche constituency….u guys don’t know anyting so stop being ignorant and instead go do a survey in d paix-bouche constituiency on both eunica and roselyn paul and ther u guys wil find u’all answers instead of jus sayin wat u’ll assume. Jus look and see she will never win… LABOUR POWER!!! ALL THE WAY WIT ROSELYN PAUL a woman of pure substance….we love u rosa
After the anthonys looked dwn on ppl in paix-bouche because they think they had more than ppl now they want the same set of poor ppl to bring them up and put dem in power…whoyyyy dey lie dohhh…tel dem wait
If Roslyn was going up on a uwp seat and eurica was going up on a labour seat all you would vote for eurica.stop your ignorance and your Anthony nonsense.
Jealousy is a disease. Seek treatment.
Reality, you appear to be pretty worried to me. Relax man, let’s wait and see. After all, it does not take much for any new candidate for Paix Bouche to do better than the present one. The present one is a complete waste of space and a notorious liar promising before elections all kind of things and not one of these promises materialised. The man is only there to draw his salary. Get him out!!!!!!
Welcome on board Eunica , you have my support. Your constituency now have a good person who will look after their interests.
well wait and see many labourites in paix bouche calibishie will be voting this lady im a little worried about bense, seems they fail to understand the constrains of these times . im from that area and i think she can pull through with work.
people the issue is not paix bouche is a labour seat , we the labouites are tired. things are bad , walter has done nothing for his tenure in fact there is little respect from skerrit for this man though in fact personally he might not be all that bad but he is a lousy polititian. now miss roselyn i have heard of her, the fact shes choosing a possible labour ticket just shows that she is not well intended for my area . the lady is most likely getting her mortgage paid. those saying shes loosing her deposit might just think again i know many who wont vote labour and many who just wont vote in the area at all. she has my vote and family and personally i dont know her however i know her family grand father per exact.
we were once hardcore red but can we continue to stand for disrespect , non development, failing economy etc
i know if rosie was alive he would say its time for roosevelt to go
take my words this coming election will be revealing
we the hard core reds are finally waking up
people it is time
You aint no hardcore RED….
GOOD POINT. THE fact is Skerrit has preyed a lot on the ignorance of the people. Same thing for the constituencies of Petite Savanne and GrandBay. But he must remember this time Urban is the man going up against the lousy waste of time Doctor. Don’t rule out Petite Savanne as a UWP seat. Like you i was a Labourite, but Alas! I am no longer. THINGS ARE TO TOUGH, AND NO ONE CARES.
A couple months ago, Team
Dominica went all over the place telling Dominicans in the Diaspora don’t come down to vote, yet Eunica has to come down for me to vote for her ironic eh?
At on point education was not important so it was ok for Lennox to be leader without a patat….. now
Team Dominica boasting about how many lawyers and doctors they are fielding…. ironic
Eunica you are a nice person but wrong party, wrong time . I pray you don’t lose your deposit…
Are you going to be home every weekend and run back to
Antigua as soon as church is over?
Daddy say who up up and who down stay down. Sorry, words can bite …………………….Reflect
@Hypocrite. Yes you are indeed a crass HYPOCRITE. This team (UWP) is indeed the better of the two teams, and it will be my party of choice. Don’t get too worked up, the writing is on the wall. If you can stand the hard time, thousands of Dominicans cannot do so. IT’S TIME FOR CHANGE.
What a strong team. The time is coming for the change we need to improve th e livelyhood of our needy people. Labour party only serve the greedy . We need a change our people are suffering.
They take from the needy to give to the greedy. Time will tell.
Ya man Eunice exceptional choice!!! I feel to cry, crying red and smiling blue!!
CHANGE A MUST!!!
I am reading all this comments and I think 90% have know idea when comes to paix_bouche people and labor.i wish uwp could have send someone different but going up against miss paul is a big mistake .
miss paul have never left her community and go and work else where she is well educated ,big in the culture of paix_bouche , working along side the youth they know who she is .can any young people say that about this young lady? Sorry to say she will have supporters but she won’t win.
Well de animal show must give Dr. Fontaine a break now. Mrs Victor will be the new target soon
Indeed, Eunica is a great addition to the UWP. We as Dominicans and in particular people from the Paix-Bouche constituency should be proud of this young lady for a tremendous decision to represent her people. She is uniquely qualified and certainly has the discipline to be a humble representative. Leaders are not born instead they grow with humility. This is a game changer and Paix-Bouche will be the deciding factor. Let us embrace change and recognize that it only “We The People” who can bring change with honest candidates. My advice to you Eunica is to work the youths of the constituency and the elders will follow. Paix-Bouche is in play and you can certainly win that seat.. Let your slogan be “Embrace Unity for the way of progress!”
I am all out for women from my country to step up the plate in our election. My concern is the selections we are making of people who have not work in Dominica for along time and have not done much community service and who people from the constituent really know. We want to win the next election. Its all good to want to come back to give back, but to jump right into contest a general election seat, People want to know who they are voting for. That is my concern with the decisions making.
So the fact that the individual was raised and lived for a very long time in the constituency and only recently migrated, doesn’t that count for more than enough intimacy?
Tell them. She is no stranger to you all, so stop griping. Sometimes you have to go out to come back in to make a big difference. That is spelled CHANGE.
Skerrit had NOT worked in Dominica for a long time, let alone quality. We still question his qualifications and education.
Eunicia has been working in the OECS Caribbean and gained and still gaining experience, exposure to have her more qualified and disciplined to represent Paix Bouche, Dominica and the Caribbean
Welcome home Eunicia and welcome to Paix Bouche. Go get them
CHANGE IS MUST ..TEAM DOMINICA
@ concern, You have this thing screwed up. You are concerned about the wrong thing. What you should be concerned about is when foreigners like Charles Wong can come from nowhere and just jump into a $96,000.00 dollar job, along with housing and transportation and I guess tax free, that was never advertised to the public. The Dominican born and bread Dominicans you referring to are simply coming to apply for a job since making themselves available to contest an election does not guarantee them a job although I hope we use commonsense and hire/elect them.
@ Concern, You should be concerned about the salary we pay to Vince Henderson to be in the US, and yet cannot speak for us because we have lost our voice because of our inability to vote. You should also be seriously concerned about Lauren Bannis, that we pay a salary to in the USVI for nothing to show that she is employed by us. People like Dr. Fontaine and Ms. Johnson-Victor are not paid by us, were not given any incentive to come to Dominica and are taking NOTHING from us. They just simply want to come and help us with the experience they gained abroad which the entire world is craving for.
I am absolutely loving this ……..
Help who …. When …… Where …… ………….hmmmm ……dictionary please. People cannot be awarded titles they do not deserve ……all this in an attempt to extort loyalty ……………..well you won’t be getting any from me.
Yes ladies and gentle men the revolution has started. THINK PEOPLE …..…ITS NOT ILLEGAL YET…………..
Individuals should be more concerned about the irreversible damage done by their predecessors which preclude them, or effectively erase all chances of them being considered for elected office …………IN OTHER WORDS, TAKE THE FIGHT HOME AND ASK FOR EXPLANATIONS THERE.
It really gets under their skin when you’re independent……….so I have and will continue to demonstrate to them what true independence really means………and if you pay close attention you will realize that I will be taking a squadron of people with me.
Let me repeat myself, ……….I would like to make it indisputably clear that I will be supporting Mrs. Eunica Anthony-Victor as our next representative ……………she is the best candidate for the job……period.
Like the First Serenade Band say…..WHO VEX LOSS WE GWAN ………….THEM NEXT WEEK ….
Didn’t expect anything better to come from you. As I said before you have a selective memory. Remember also that this party saved your skin after the hurricane when you illegally extorted monies from the Government Treasury!!! Be grateful is all I am saying!!
“Extorted money from gov treasury?” Hmmm I happen to know x. You are attacking the wrong person. Stop it now and let people express themselves. A citizen does not owe a politician.
We all know what you did… we know that you used the names of family and friends and fraudulently signed for them to reap off the government treasury. Simply because I am not in the mood for using legal jargon and interpretation will I not describe in detail the legal definitions of Fraud, Theft and Extortion, So there I say….. If not for the Party and the same Parl. Rep that you speak of in the most unfortunate terms you would have been in jail…incarcerated!! Stop forgetting!! Remember!!! Your Degree could have never been!!
CHANGE IS A MOST……….. NOT AN OPTION. “There goes my people. I must follow them, for I am their leader.” – Mahatma Gandhi.
I concur with X statement…… When encouraging Accountable and Responsive Leadership one must give considerable thought to the principles of good governance. namely transparency, Legitimacy and Voice Participation, direction, performance, accountability etc etc. we recognize that these principles often overlap or are conflicting at some point, which they play out in practice according to the actual social context, that applying such principles is complex, and that they are all about not only the results of power but how well it is exercised. Mrs. Victor has the ability to represent. So we are in support of her all the way.
Its like Skerrit had this country under duress. You can see and sense the sigh of relief in the population as Skerrit is spending HIS LAST FEW DAYS IN OFFICE BEFORE he is Kicked Far and Wide out of Power by the Electorate. He turned a significant percentage of the population into beggars, he impoverished the country, he insulted the people, he mismamnaged the economy, he killed all institutions , he killed agricultureetc, but Skerro even the Bible said that ‘There is a season for everything under the sun’.. Your season of arrogance and deceipt is nearing its end, AND SKERRO I AM A HAPPY MAN!
HOW LONG?
NOT LONG!
Well if everyone is gravitating towards UWP, can you blame her? . Who knows how long this bad,desperate, wicked, evil and tyrannical Labour Party will remain in opposition.?
WISE CHOICE LADY.
The message to Linton is if he himself ever decide to go down the same route as Skerrit, I WILL BE LASHING HIM AND UWP THE SAME WAY.
SHE IS BEAUTIFUL AND WISE.
My sentiments exactly. SHE IS WISE. Join the winning train of course.
I post paixbouch is a armour an douglas constituency an dno did not post my coment..why dno.wats wrong what did I violate,
two ladies contesting the Paix Bauche seat this election,….waw! look bowdel….may the best woman win!
And up to now Skerritt can not declare one single new candidate?
Let not your heart be troubled. New candidate or not. Labor in POWER!
@Steve SegalYou made a mistake. IT’S LABOUR POWDER.
She is wise. Why join Labour? To stay in opposition?
she look so lovely nice smile
son and daughter near and far are teaming up to save you OH mother Dominica. to remove you from the hands of the romote control players, the P M adviser from babadoes, and others in far conners of the globe.
Im sorry to say im from paix_bouche and never heard of this person. I know I left a very long time , can someone tell me who she related too? And by the way I hope you win,
So u know u left a very long time. What’s up with sarcasm. Ask ure family in paixbouche
@Ready or Not, I know a politician that usually sings that same song like this:
Good morning Mr. Walter
I come to see your daughter
Oh, Mr, Walter!
I come to see your daughter
Sweet …, I promise I go marry she
But she was tired waiting!
She could not fix the wedding…
Oh Lord Mr., woy woy…
My Pm loves this song too
Eunica is a wonderful choice of Candidate and I commend the UWP for selecting her. I have known Eunica all my life and I can attest that she is a hard worker, very caring, creative and extremely creative. She is very humble and I know that thos decision is one made only because for her desire for change and to see her people be the best she can be. It is high time that we stop voting for party and start electing persons that instill some form of development and advancement. I believe living overseas can be beneficial to persons on government as they have seen abd experienced another form of development. Go foreward Eunica and represent the people of the Paix Bouche constituency. Represent our talented and warm people. Change is on its way and I am sure to hop on the train.
First few times around they claimed they were all business men…now all you going for the mix of lawyers and economists and businessmen and unemployed…lol i must laugh…Anyways I hope Ministry of Health putting things in order at PMH for next general election…we need ALL nurses and doctors on deck cause serious ‘BLUES’ will be needing medical attention after they lose…AGAIN!
@Yessah Nonsensical desperate Labour Paryty comment.
You better get on the winning train.
i hope you will be singing or crying because what we asked for we get you better becareful
Remember PMH lacks the necessities for caring for the sick?
Now tell me how this is possible under your current government .
This is why change is a must and I believe that the nurses and the doc should stand by for the “RED” alert when they loose
WOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRKKKKEEERRRRSSS !!
Alas poor you. You are not even concerned about you and your family. Are you even aware of the state of the hospital as of now? Hellloooooo seek help for yourself now, you there worrying about WORKERS.
All you don’t even want to pay for the services at the hospital. They should make all you pay, all the bomb all you does go and make.
well im not letting the change train pass me by and my family
and for those using the computer to post messages come to the paix bouche constituency and meet the man on the ground and the general sentiment is skerrit time is up
they can send roselyn o however they want it is surely going to be a wake up call
paix bouche is not labour party flower yard people are humans they feel hungry at times.
wake up bense people dont be foolish once again
and no labourite who wants a change is ungrateful
all im saying rosie dead , mike dead piere dead notthing to keep us bound any more
thank you team dominica i was already afraid i had not found a candidate i could vote before mrs victor
Unica, as qualified as she is in on the wrong team. Roselyn Paul will inevitably win the seat and joint the new Government in Parliament and Cabinet. Its Redd ALL THE WAY!!! There is absolutely no place for BLUE in Paix-Bouche!!!
@hmmmmmm I wonder how ARROGANT Skerrit is taking that eh boy. The man is probably having sleepless nights eh. He was so absorbed and obsessed with power. BYE BYE SKERRO.
The INCOMING PRIME MINISTER LENNOX LINTON has really been able to put together a powerful team. It’s the first time in our History that any political party, (maybe with the exception of Freedom Party in the 80’s)has assemble such a powerful team.
THIS IS WHY LABOURITES ARE SO DESPERATE WE!
Peolple,, Its time we get our pal reps on a real debate for every constituency infront the entire communities they represent and intend to represent,to discuss the issues confronting them,,”who in the kitchen feel the heat” so we alone know whats best in our respected areas,, Am sure in Paix Bouche case we will see who has the community’s interest at heart !!! We have seen Roselyn Paul all through !!!!
You will lose sweet heart……
You seem to be everywhere spreading negativity. I am not suprised. Your name is “bomboclat” it doest get any more negative than that. I assume you are unemployed as well because you seem to have a lot of free time. If the young lady looses so what? Does that make her any less of a person? Loosing is a part of life. Grow up and learn to contribute meaningfully to these forums and by extension society. When the time comes to vote express those thoughts on your ballot.
You unemployed as well because here you are!! I can sure as well know the difference between LOSING and LOOSING and can spell it correctly as well.
and damn right I am all over, stop me!!!
Good thing you are not God, I sure would be sad right now.
uhhhhhh okkkkk, no sense.
Bomboclat, how much have you received from the Red Clinic in the last 14 years? The bagging days will be over soon. No more Red Clinics for you to queue. Are you not worried that they have brain washed you already?
I am not a supporter of the uwp (old or new) , but I support any lady who is prepared to step forward in the political arena. It is time for our young ladies to break the cycle of just being baby machines. We know that women are being kept back worldwide , but they as just as efficient as men . Time to break the glass ceiling.
I do not understand some constraint in place in the dual citizenship deal . If someone is Dominican by birth , that is all the qualification they need. We should not try to take away peoples birth right.
@ Emile Zapatos, I agree with you on this one although not 100%. I believe any born Dominican or anyone who was born on foreign soil but grew up in Dominica from childhood and has adopted Dominica as home, is qualified to for PM. However, here is what I don’t like: I hate what my PM did. If he had applied for French citizenship before becoming the PM I would be with him 100% But to see him apply for citizenship while he is the elected Prime Minister leaves me to question his loyalty to Dominica
Just saying.Wait till Skerro get his green card and apply for US citizenship…Hmmmm
Emile boy, this is the only comment you made that I can feel halfway comfortable with it, and declare I agree with you, I have also discovered that you and your colleague Warrington, might be in the middle of nowhere land.
You fire missiles in every direction, with absolutely no particular aim; every man need to stand for something say so, if you are nonpartisan as I am let it be known. However!
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
@Emile Zapatos, Like you I am not a supporter of UWP whether old or new. However, I am a supporter of Dominica and at the moment my party, the DLP is going in the wrong direction and I will not allow anyone to destroy my country while I keep voting on partisan basis. I will vote UWP next election but since I am not married to a party, if they don’t leave up to expectation I will vote them out even if I have to vote pappy. Dominica first and party second.
You lie, Danziger is back home now.
CHANGE IS A MUST….! Great move Eunica! 100% behind you..!
For a novice and a dying party UWP sure pumping labour brakes. 2 days now Skerrit not sleeping, all 3 am he making calls blah-blah to people. They’re tired of calling executive meetings and change. Wesley Labourites so know they don’t want teacher Glo they’re now demanding another candidate, who by the way has no desire to run for any party let alone Labour. How is it that Lennox, that arrogant pompus miserable deportee lying and every negative stain Linton can attract so many professionals, independent thinkers and have such a huge following? Even Skerrit family in the US “Mr Linton is a good man” eh eh… wait but how that happening? Skerrit you rose, your ego was inflated, and now it’s time for that blimpie to burst. You all better not try to cheat the elections, because your own crew raise money in the US to send a team of INTL press and Observers to monitor the elections. This is going to be telling for Labour and Dominica. You will not know what hit you! You don’t trust Dominicans, and we don’t trust you either, the 3 goats, 6 sheep, and & donkeys you have on Kairi making noise for you can’t save you. Just as your dimples have vanished so too you are going to evaporate.
I love that comment, but cool out nuh. The man already going out of office, if he pass on DNO is STRAIGHT heart attack wii
@LEANA.WOW ! WOW! WOW! Leanna darling you are a BOMBSHELL.!
Ti we core la, stay in Antigua, what are you doing in Antigua? if you want to pay back to your community. All your taxes are being paid in a foreign land and you want to reap the benefits after which you will claim is the UWP taht m,ake changes stay in your Antigua allyou seeing the PM all you not seeing yourselves. Bravo
Go and ask all the other lawyers outside Dominica why they are. Ask the young man who worked at DPP’ s office why he had to run even while the court was praising his work.
Hmmmmm. Look at that boy…….all the lady doing is running for election and she vex……yet when the government pays thousands of dollars to charter planes and buses to bring in people to vote then it is the best move……hmmmmmmmm
If you had ticket money you would have been Antigua all now! Get qualified then TAlk! Jealoussssssssss
wash your foot and come for your beating from labour
Beating or not her feet well washed and will surely remain clean. Doe look for your water to wash yours. Sot
Bondieu while some people are trying to save face and claim she chose the wrong side, it clearly seems there’s a wind of change WIN LOSE or DRAW blowing across Dominica. Folks politics is no longer is LABAR my family voted, is LABAR I voting till I die… and I am so encouraged to see that individuals can be unafraid to come forward and dare to make a difference. Isn’t this what democracy is about? Isn’t this what our parents and communities expect of us? It ‘s high time debates and service to people bar is raised. It is high time we have people who can articulate positions represent us, instead of posting people in ministerial jobs whose only claim to fame is giving maypuis, rum, top-up and KFC. Let’s drown out the noise and meaningless accusations. replaced have sober debates for the good of Dominica. My Sistah stand..beyond that rise and remain focused.
Becareful with all the change all u want. I hope after election all u doh walk with all u hand on all you head.
Election calling dis year uwp putting sumbdy from overseas to try to take a seat in skeritt yard,every bidu from paix bouche to calibishi grew up ,played ,went to school wth ,mike rosie douglas,is paixbouche people,if freedom get a good candidate day hav better chance,dis is armour douglas people.fyi.
Eunica my advice to you is that you have potential, but this is certainly not at all a good choice,. Not all change is good change, and jumping from the frying pan into the fire is certainly not going to move us forward. This team has a bad head and no what how good a body is, if the head is bad then there is no way the body can stand. Marcellin Lockheart was a much better candidate in terms of what he did in the community but he lost his deposit. You are obviously allowing your father and uncle political obsession in seeing the demise of the DLP to influence such a bad judgement. Your political ambition is fine, but sadly your security deposit will remain in the treasury.
Amen and amen
It is just a security deposit which she can afford to lose ,and not just lose it will remain in the treasury to go back into the development of dominica. so consider it a contribution if she loses,
Ok, so now I understand the Kairi news item yesterday about Lennox Linton. They knew what took place in Paix Bouche yesterday; they knew what is coming; they know up to this day they cannot get a good candidate to replace the Skerrit much disliked and failed Matthew Walter, so they had to put out that news. But don’t be surprise when Matthew does just like Baron did and become campaign manager of Ms. Anthony -Victor.
As someone from the community I cant wait to hear what she has to say on a political platform.
She has done well professionally and its something to be proud of but that does not, by any means guarantee good or great representation. Also I’m not sure what her analysis entailed but hmmmm … you chose to represent Paix-Bouche on Team Dominica???
Next time choose the winning side, cause I can tell you Eunica..historically speaking, it will take a MIRACLE for UWP to win in the Paix-Bouche constituency.
Sadly, although I like you, I will be voting Labour..Roselyn Paul for Paix-Bouche!!!
They will lose my vote cause salary not timely anymore
Sadly, although I like you, I will be voting Labour..Roselyn Paul for Paix-Bouche!!!
@ My thoughts, you said Rosely Paul that going up for Skerro? Are you referring to the mother-in-law that was to be but never was? Just asking
@Lang Mama, Exactly! Please feel free to K with T at anytime. That’s the essence of the whole thing
Sadly, although I like you, I will be voting Labour..Roselyn Paul for Paix-Bouche!!!
@ my thoughts, is Roselyn Paul the official candidate of the DLP? I will wait until it is official to ask some questions. By the way, does anyone know who wrote this old calypso?
Good morning Mister Walker
I come to see your daughter
Oh, Mister Walker!
I come to see your daughter
Sweet Rosemarie, she promise she gone marry me
And now I tired waiting!
I come to fix the wedding
After the wedding day, I don’t care what nobody say
Everytime I take a good look at she face I see a bankbook
Oh Lord Mamma, woy woy
Good morning Mister Walker
I come to see your daughter
Hmm, Mister Walker!
I come to see your daughter
Sweet Rosemarie, she promise she gone marry me
And now I tired waiting!
I come to fix the wedding, woy…
@Ready or not, I use to enjoy this song by the mighty sparrow, but did not know the words. In this day and age where the mother most times is the father figure, I guess we need to change some words. Here is my version:
Good morning Mother Walker
I come to see your daughter
Oh, Mother Walker!
I come to see your daughter
Sweet Rose…, I promise I go marry she
And now she tired waiting!
She could not fix the wedding…
Oh Lord Mamma, woy woy…
What about that version?
Should I replace a K with a T wherever possible? Please don’t leave me in the dark
allu have pple in de dark man. what k an t allu talking about
SHE HAS CHOSEN THE WINNING SIDE. If you are not on her side i am sorry, you are the one on the losing side.
If UWP doesn’t win the next election..They can just Start a law firm yeah !!!
Signs on the ground incicates that UWP will infact win. Labourites are discussing this all the time. Why do you think that Laboutrites are showing this desperation?
Dominicans eyes are really beginning to open politically. Never before have I seen such a solid team in any political party in Dominica. I like the fact that she says she is not a party loyalist-country first. Remember Paix Bouche and Calibishie were not always DLP. I was not excited about uwp last election but this time around, I am.
How solid is the leader educational background?????
How is Skerritt”s? So long Angelo Allen offering a reward to see Skerritt’s educational credentials, nobody can give it to him….so what u talking about??
Solid enough to want to debate someone else who supposedly have a degree.
But look we have a well educated leader and look where he has taken Dominica to….the gutters! So what you talking about.
@Suspect how solid is your leader educational background. Go and do your homework and avoid being led blindly. Ignorant laborite.
Mr. Linton is a very educated man. Do you think you have to go to a university to be an educated man? I mean seriously speaking? Do you? We go to school and we ready books and take several tests to gain knowledge. I have listened to Lennox, the guy is full of knowledge. While I may know more engineering stuff, I can bet you that any other Dominicans could not beat Lennox in what he has been doing as a journalist. Stop thinking that is only formal education that makes a man educated. I wonder if people like Marcus Garvey had a degree? What about people like George Washington? What about Bill Gates? I wonder if the PM read more books than Linton. Bottom line is, Lennox is a very educated man. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
“Excited” because someone waves a university certifcate in your face? Lol!! Be excited (or turned off) because of the content of the holder of that certificate. Prevost has some success in business, Joseph Isaacs does, Eddo is a suuccessful farmer man (all three also hold university degrees), and even Spaggs has strong community service to his name.
What is the substance of Fontaine, Linton, Joshua, etc? On what basis do they seek election? What is their claim to fame? Ditto for this new candidate.
Everyone you have mentioned above is ready and willing to publish their University Degree Certificates. It has been many months a radio talk show host has publicly offered money to you BogoRoy or anybody, if Skeritt can publish the two University Degree Certificates he claims he has, Dominicans are still waiting.
Garson stop hating and join the movement for change. Skerro wave his qualifications in allu face and no one questioned it so stop your nonsense. Ask Skerro to present his Degree for verification. If you have nothing of substance to add just SHUT UP! For crying out loud! Is that all DLP and its supporters can do? Criticize and try to humiliate everyone that does not worship the dear leader? My my my!
But like it or not Change Must Come..
Assertive, NOT Agressive!
Roy Williams . Can you publish yours ,or did you receive one for dropping out of high school. Did you get your GCE or degree in the betrayal of Patrick John.
By the way what did Patrick John and LeBlanc did that they had to go. (ALLEGATIONS ARE EASY TO PROPERGATE)
Now you and the new uwp are using the same scenario against Skerrit , the same propaganda machine
Congratulations and all the best. Good change of pace…
Ladies and gentlemen of the Paix Bouche constituency and the entire citizenry of Dominica; I would like state unequivocally that this is the best decision taken on behalf of the Paix Bouche constituency in the last 25 years. The individual chosen, Mrs. Eunica Anthony-Victor is an astute, qualified and assiduous young professional. There are no contradictions about that!!!!
She has demonstrated great skill and capacity during the execution of all her duties within Dominica and the wider region.
With the current void in effective representation at the constituency level and the precipitous decline of all economic sectors within our constituency, the emergence of a young leader, the likes of Mrs. Anthony-Victor is truly a blessing.
This demonstrates that there are still young leaders who are motivated make a difference, who refuse to accept the status quo and who are willing to offer their skills and competencies in service to their community for the economic emancipation of their fellow citizens.
Ladies and gentlemen, this commitment is one that has completely eluded those who are currently in charge of our affairs …….soooooo, its time for change!!!!!
I would like to make it fundamentally clear that we will be supporting Mrs. Eunica Anthony-Victor for change!!!!!!!
If this is the Malcolm X I know; and I think it is, you are rather ungrateful and have a selective memory when you speak of the Parl. Rep. for Paix-Bouche in those terms. You seem to forget that when you were an unlearnt; hard headed, little boy who first arrived in this constituency your mind was built and sharpened by this same Parl. Rep. in afternoon classes. Free. On his private time. Its a shame that your education has allowed for a lapse of memory where it relates to your formative years.
Although I have no issues with Unica, who I must confess is a dear friend of mine, and do applaud her on this, a bold move, I detest ungratefulness in all forms.
This type of voting is out of style—repayment.And did you not read that the present pal-rep is not contesting in the next elections ?Do you want him to vote for you? You like to reproach ? You just like americans when they give you something ,they are waiting for something in return
@ hmmmm. First of all mr. Walters was a paid government teacher so afternoon classes were not free.
Secondly education is the key to Freedom and an individual who learns well will be free from economic, mental psycological and other forms of slavery. Malcom X endorsement if unica despite your claims is a form of intellectual maturity that is required in dominica during election. In laymans terms: your parents took care of you when you were growing up and made dicisions for you. When you are grown you move out and make your own even if it is against your parents wishes. However you still respect them.
Unica I applaud you and will have my full support and that of the people of bense and calibishi. Hopefully more of us can make decisions on what is right for our country. I am no party loyalist but understand the status quo is unsustainable and will ultimately be doom for our children. Change is essential.
@shaka Zulu…The classes are not for free when it is after working hours. What country are you from? And the argument had nothing to do with the ability to think independently; I applaud the same. The argument was to stress that when one has done you good it is better to stay silent than to talk him/her down. Which is what Mr. X was manifesting. The argument was contingent upon ungratefulness. You seem to have really missed the point.
Very well said @shaka Zulu. That’s our biggest problem in Dominica because somehow we feel because someone helped us in life we owe them a vote. We just simply need to grow up. My Parents worked very hard to feed us give us an education. While I shall forever cherish , love, and respect them no matter my status in life, I still had to make decisions they did not like at times. Example, I grew up going to the Catholic Church with them every Sunday. But when my desire to know God increased I left the Catholic church and became part of a Christian Church. I still respect them and respect their religion but I had to plan for my own future. So I find hmmmmmm maypwee was quite inappropriate especially because I believe I know that person since she too was a former teacher with Matthew
Clearly reading and understanding is not your strong point. He made no mention of the pal rep. Stop searching for propaganda and hold your baseless and irrelevant comments to yourself.
Hahaha…what a joke. That is why we should not take handouts from PM. So based on your principle, once we get something from a party, we should shut up. So PM is on a move to shut up a lot of people via the Red Clinic. I see. Well the Bible says the borrower is slave to the lender – I suppose I can substitute giver that also. And by the way government money is the people’s money eh – they not doing us any favor when they give us.
So you are telling me that some of the students I stayed back and help while I was a teacher should all support me if I decide to go up for election? That’s dumb – I would like my students to think independently. Sister don’t make anyone enslave you because they give you something – I love my freedom – I won’t sell it.
@ hmmm i was not going to respond but after second thought i realize there may be many who think like you. First of all if you decide to help someone just because you care your reward should be the happiness to see them grow up with bright future. This is the mindset our leader preys upon why he runs an inflated social program so people like you should feel greatfull and keep voting for him even if for every cookie he gives he keeps two for himself. MX called no names and is bright enough to be an independent thinker. After 36 years of indepence we have matured into adulthood as a country and so to should our mentality.
It is ok to disagree with eunica and MX opinion, however you should back it up with sound reasoning not reproach and a house slave mentality. I hope you understand and those who may think like you understand
Malcolm X that got the most educational help from the Labour party in Paix Bouche….where is he right now? All now his sister on labour party scholarship too…ungrateful. Sometimes it is better to stay silent
Malcolm owes allegiance to the parl rep for doing what he was paid to do? Give me a break here. Governance concerns the state’s ability to serve its citizens. It refers to the rules, processes, and behavior by which interests are articulated, resources are managed, and power is exercised in society. Governance is a practical concept relating to the basic aspects of the functioning of any society and political and social system. It can be described as a basic measure of the stability and performance of a society. If Malcolm thinks the parl rep no longer can perform or failed to perform his duties he reserves the right to speck up freely about it. Its utter rubbish to say what you said about he being thought at school by the parl rep…. he was bond by the law to teach whoever child attended his class and more specifically if that child needed much desired attention.
I guess that’s what he told you so you are just putting down those words for him…. I heard those exact words before when MX was in disagreements with somethings the parl rep said and did. So really am not surprised. Carry on…….
@hmmmmmm,
Let’s do away with this pit latrine politics. I know you to be better and smarter than that. MX said nothing to get this kind of maypwee from you. If Matthew helped him as a then good for Matthew. But because a teacher helped a student in school does not mean the student owes him a vote. In fact teachers are paid to help children succeed. By the way how are you certain that MX did not pay him back by voting for him in previous election? Does he owe him a vote for life? We all know Matthew to be a good person but being a nice person does not make you a good politician and we all know that he failed as a politician. Is it his fault he did not succeed? Maybe not. We all know that he was never like by the PM and Skerrit would never do anything to help Matthew succeed. Matthew should have realized that much sooner.
More headache for Skeritt and the DLP, don’t worry there is always paracetamol or Dr. Bengamin.
Roy Williams , your wish of pain to an other person will not come true . You and the new uwp are so hateful now, Dominicans will soon see through this cloud of hatred, so what will you all do with a 21 to 0 defeat. You guys are extremely poor losers .
Remember they sang “SANGKEY” for the labour party , BUT the DLP has a record for the youngest PM in the world with a 18 to 3 electoral victory. Remember when Edward Scobie wrote 10 to1 is murder to celebrate a Labour Party victory. Only the DLP will be celebrating a diamond jubilee in Dominica’s history . They just love to set records. Can you dig! You want more records. —–State house , state college , stadium, independence ,social security , national bank, Roseau market. and the list goes on. If I had to continue I would run out of space.
Roy, those are visible and tangible, you can see, touch and feel them. They are not allegations or accusations. YOU DIG! YES I !
This fraudulent Labor Party must go. We have to teach them a lesson. Now let them run into Paix Bouche making promises and and carrying toilets. We will teach them a lesson. enough is enough
The Labour Party should do more thinking and less talking nonsense on their radio shows. Happy for you young lady for taking this bold step, you are going to have the community support.
Eunica I know you can do this. Having worked with you I know that you are what the people need. A kind selfless woman.
Another deposit lost in the treasury. No match for RP the DLP candidate.
Yeah right, maybe after every one turn them down you can ride to their rescue judas.
@Jude Nicholas, You said she is no match to labor party candidate, Roselyn Paul? Is she official now? I know better that
well the PM will use the lost deposit as handouts for you all vote
Now we should investigate any new politicians who trying to seek for office in Dominica especially if they resided in overseas for years, We’re not gonna be fooled again as P.M, Mr. Jean did, because I strongly believe these folks are dual citizens.
The DLP will presumably do opposition research, but I would be surprised to find dual citizenship in this particular case, since she was just over in Antigua and not somewhere like the U.S. or Canada.
Steve Foerster, Are you a Dominican, and/or a commonwealth citizen? The last time I checked Canada was a member of the commonwealth, and if my memory serves me right, commonwealth citizens are not prohibited from becoming members of parliament in Dominica as long as they meet the residency requirement.
I agree that everyone seeking office should follow the Law of the land, irrespective of party.
We cannot have another skerrit situation, so as I welcome the latest addition to Team Dominica let us hope that as a legal person everything is above board, so good point “Bypartisan”.
I really can’t understand that foolishness. Do you people honestly believe that the UWP would place any of its candidates in a skerritt type situation?
OK
I don’t know her but he pretty
she’s pretty
You need to take out that lassy in your eyes……
Very good move…the prospective labour person a woman is pretty much bringing a stale mate to the constituency,keeping the folks there in a small mind frame and contented to be yard birds….
i think the Team Dominica’s choice is a far better choice, she thinks Bigger, Wider and Better.
Her family will have a impact on that area too…Rally around Mrs. Victor!
P.M already get away with he’s french passport also Mr.Peter St.Jean now we need to investigate any new Politicians trying to contest any seat in Dominica, I strongly believe these folks are dual citizens.
Educate yourself. If she has dual citizenship from another CARICOM island she still game mal potanse, but she doesn’t have any and I know that for a fact. What else you have? Go ask Skerrit and Petter for their French/European passports
which folk are you talking about? cause this woman only recently started working in anu like two years ago.To my understanding you have to be living and working in anu for 7years to become a citizen. subjected to correction. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that she has dual citizenship.
Candidates falling from the sky to join Linton, what is it about this man that good people gravitating towards him.
It is because God is in control. The man is eloquent. loves his country, hates injustice and malice and is fearless. No one is falling from the sky. No, we have always been there. Born and bred Dominicans. Do you know how many Dominicans live abroad and follow the politics. We listen to the radio and read DNO. Plus we have relatives in DA. We are very much there. We just live over here.
This was a pleasant surprise………………..I smell the winds of Change…..We had enough of Red dirty Blood.
That’s the news we want to here in Dominica positive vibe not that garbage we in the other side of the world heard on Monday .Dominicans please stay focus CHANGE IS A MUST.
a much needed change to the paix bouche constituency
i hope my fellow comstituents are taking note
too much stagnancy and abandonent by the so called labour party to this area
change is a must and must come
by the way that opinion is coming from a previous rosie support
……….lets make a change, it is time people. welcome home mrs victor
Change is already here. In our road construction, our geothermal, our new hotels, reduction of unemployment and poverty, airport improvements, running water for all, yes we care programs, improved education, you name it, this government is doing it all. We have changed Dominica into a major player on the Caribbean stage. Labour all the way for 2015.
Fool youself. An economy in shambles. People struggling to pay their bills. People leaving hand to mouth. Change for the worst is here. Change for the better is coming. Labour must go. Skerro must go. They will not fool us then after election put misery on us like the Barbados government is doing. I hear they plan to make civil servants redundant after elections.
With all that Dominica can’t pay UN dues? What a thing eh? What is the unemployment rate and by how much was it reduced?
You forgot the latrine transformation without water and land for soakaway
Matthan Walter will run in place of his father…but Eunica may have more credibility among the Paix Bouche people …let’s wait and see what happens…Eunica I just hope this political arena does not change you
OF COURSE it has to CHANGE HER, AND SHE HAS NO OPTION. the motto is CHANGE IS A MUST.
those people are not about credibility, they just stupid red…like those anse de mai, ansol dat and bense people.. they not voting anything but red even if it killing dem
If Matthan Walter is smart he will leave running for political office alone for now. He is fully aware that Change Must Come and that my friend is a fact
.
Assertive, NOT Agressive
its good to see young intelligent people taking a bold step to help us the young generation. Congrats girl you have my support.
Boy I cannot wait. Change is really here
It is. Just look around. And we aim to keep it that way.
See zor vlay zor sa bamwere thumbs down. But I say CHANGE IS A MUST…maka vote LAYBA
