“What we need in Marigot is representation” – Senator Baptiste says

f
Baptiste

Government Senator Dayton Baptiste of the Dominica Labour Party said he is ready for a by-election in the Marigot constituency.

His comments came on the heels of a move by the Speaker of the House of Assembly Alix Boyd Knights, declaring that seat vacant, following a decision by elected member of that constituency Edison James of the United Workers Party (UWP) to boycott Parliament three consecutive times.

House of Assembly regulations stipulate that parliamentarians who miss three consecutive sessions without requesting leave or an excuse from the Speaker will stand a chance to lose their seats.

Baptiste in an interview following the announcement expressed his confidence that the people of Marigot will elect him, should a by-election be called.

“I am prepared; very prepared at that because of my ability. What we need in Marigot is representation and I am waiting to represent my people,” he said.

Baptiste said while there were some issues regarding his representation the people have now decided to move forward with him.

“Things are pretty good on the ground and we are hoping that things will get better everyday. Now is the right time. I think the people there are ready to move on and work in the best interest of the community,” he stated.

    MARIGOT IS RUNNED BY RON GREENE. ONLY A SENSIBLE PERSON WILL FIND OUT THAT IF RON HAD WIN HIS SEAT, THEN UWP WOULD BE SITTING IN PARLIAMENT.

    ALL HE HAS TO DO IS TO ELECT EDDO AS OPPOSITION LEADER AND REPRESENT US IN PARLIAMENT.

    Baptist you a full of it and you have a lot to learn about your people instead of trying to purchase them listen to them, dont allow your party leader and your friends try to convince you that MARIGOT is right for the picking because it’t not for you I remembered hearing one of you party member saying at their victory speech in Portsmouth they will take MARIGOT next you a just been used and ithat reminded me of how the FREEDOM party used Pat Stevens but that never worked either..
    And by the way want you the same person who refused to meet with your supporters you went to hide after the election now all of a sudden you beieve that we are ready for us wake up BAPTIST because we never like any one taking us for granted.

    These are the same people who will march to government for all kind of meyett. These people are not Dominicans Originally they from Montserrat and Antigua I suggest they go back to their roots and leave Dominica alone for dominicans because they don’t care about Dominica’s Development.

    MR THUNDER YOU REALLY NEED TO GET YOUR DAM FACTS STRIGHT, WESLEY AND MARIGOT PEOPLE WERE NEVER BEGGERS AND WILL NEVER BE THATS WHAT YOU REST OF DOMINICA AFREAD OFF, THEY HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE BANKBONE OF THIS COUNTRY, IS THERE A DOMINCA WITHOUT MARIGOT AND WESLEY I DONT THINK SO. WHEN YOU NEED TO GET OF YOUR HIGH HOURSE ,,MAYBE NOW YOU EATING WITH KNIFE AND SPOON , YOU THINKING NOW YOU MIGHTY.

    I HAVE ALWAYS SURPORTED THE LABOUR PARTY BUT THAT COMMENT YOU REALLY NEED TO GET IT OFF. AND TRUST ME , YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO IS THING THAT MARIGOT AND WESLEY PEOPLE DONT BELONG TO DOMINICA , YOU THAT LOSER CHEACK THE HISTORY OF DOMINICA ALL THOSE ISLAND ARE CONNECTED ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. MY GRAND FATHER ,
    FATHER WAS ANTIGUAN, AND HIS MOTHER A CARIB FROM THE RESERVE WHAT AM I, YOU WONT TO TELL ME GO BACK TO ANITGUA

    THIS IS THE CRAPE YOU GUYS PUT OUTHERE FOR US TO READ. THINK BEFORE YOU PUT THINGS LIKE THAT, NO MATTER WHICH PARTY YOU SURPORT. PEACE

    • I’ll not even bother to read all of what that person from Wesley who lives in Canada, has to say, except, I would like to remind whosoever you are, when you are suggesting that people return to Antigua, and Montserrat, you too are occupying the land of another!

      Therefore, you may also want to return to Dominica, and that will take away your opportunity to interfere in the people of Canada affairs. There you are in a foreign land, making a living by whatever means, would like someone to suggest to you that you return home simply because you participate in some function, demonstration, perhaps in a debate, in which you defended your rights?

      I doubt there are as many Antiguan’s if any residing in Dominica. However, about four years, ago, there were more than fifteen thousands Dominicans residing, and working on the island of Antigua.

      In the event that the Antiguan’s demand that the Dominicans who are living, and earning a living in their country must leave, I wonder if you would appreciate that, and I wonder if you personally would have something constructive at home for them to engage in; and by that I mean productive employment!

      So, too there are Dominican’s residing and working on the Island of Montserrat. Just recently an accountant working on the island of Montserrat was convicted for embezzling ( stealing) more than three ($3,000,000.00) thousands dollars from the people she worked for, would like the people of Montserrat deport her back to Dominica, upon her release from jail

      Because of her actions, would you like the government, and people Montserrat to suggest that all our people get out of their country?

      The same rights that you have to be making a living in Canada, in a country that you were not born, and adapted as your home, it is the same rights you should appreciate for anyone who has chosen our country as a home, a place of residence.

      I am from Wesley, I reside in Los Angeles, and I usually yearn for the Summer’s when I can get into my automobile, and drive to Canada; I treat both Canada, and America as if the country’s were ordained to me by God; so I think it’s unreasonable for any Dominican to suggest that any foreigner, Chines, and all others residing in Dominica, should not have the right to participate in the affairs of our country.

      They must be given the opportunity to voice their opinions, demonstrate in the streets if and when it becomes necessary. There are foreigners living in Dominica who has hurt my feelings, has gone so far as to contact the Better Business Bureau of Los Angeles, and made certain claims against me, they also contacted the Host of my Website http://www.yvonnedods.com with all sorts of derogatory comments trying to get rid of my site.

      Such individuals are still residing in Dominica. I could have done some damage to them financially, I could have hurt them in some personal way, nonetheless, with a broad, and open mind, I left those people to their wicked, and evil ways; however, I would never suggest they leave my country, or Dominica because of my personal feelings about them.

      The individual (s) have every right in my country and should enjoy the same rights and privileges that I enjoy in America.

      You could not pay many of us Dominicans a fortune to return home, so whereas we abandon ship, in shallow waters, fearing we would hit the rocks at the bottom, and others jump aboard, and keep the ship floating, they have every right to have a say in what is taking place on the ship.

      If you are reading this person from Wesley, identify me as the kid they called Son in Wesley, My brothers are Watts, Gibson, and Haig, My sisters, are Marie, Barbara, Izine (Penelope) and Bernie.

      Let those who adapted Dominica as their home, enjoy it in peace.

      Out of the mud I came also!

      Hahahahahahahahahahah!!!!

      • Sorry wrong amount, it is actually three ($300,000.00) hundred thousand dollars, not the three millions, or whatever, that mistake indicates.

        SO WHO THE HELL CARE WHO YOUR FAMILY IS DOES THAT MAKE YOU SOME KIND OF A KING OH PLEZ STOP BEING A DAMN PAPPYSHOW AND THINK YOUR NAME OR SURNAME MEAN A DAMN THING COME BACK HOME TO WESLEY AND MAKE YOUR CONTRIBUTION CANADIAN MOUMOU DE TELEMACQUES MEAN NOTHING TO THE REST OF US TO HELL WITH IT . THE ONLT RESPECTABLE TELEMACQUE WAS mR JONES AND HIS SON ARNOLD NO ONE ELSE .PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

        • Donna, it would be a waist of time to argue with someone like you, because In my opinion you lack commonsense.

          First of all when you are prepared to cast insulting comments, you need to know who you are dealing with. Your unprofessional conduct, your vocabulary is an indication of whom you are. In the first place let me advised you that only a stupid un-educated person writes in all block letters.

          So, let me take you back to kindergarten, and teach you that: The names of people, places, animals, and things are written with the first letter being a capital letter. within a sentence every word must be written in lower case ( common letters).

          In this sentence, I’ll say: Dogs shall forever remain dogs.

          Notice, only the first dog in the sentence is capitalized, hope you have learnt something from that.

          Secondly, my name is Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque. Please be informed, that the word Telemaque does not contain any ” C” in it.

          Anyone who Spells my name thus, “Telemacque ” is spelling wrong, even if it is their own name!

          Please note that the word Telemaque, is distinctly French, it is a French word, thus the correct way it should be written like this Te’le’maque, and I will not explain why because I do not believe you have the capacity to understand.

          You are so ignorant, explain this: ” mR. Jones” I do not take that slightly as a mistake, that is stupidity on your part.

          And the crap that you are talking only Mr. Jones, and his son Arnold was this and that, you need to shut your mouth, because you do not know anything about us!

          I am King, that will eat your heart; out, for years we are hated because of a name, when I was a child, that was one of the first lessons my grandmother thaught me. She advisedd, ” because of your name you will be hated.”

          The second person to lay that same bit of information on me was Julian Telemaque, the oldest son of Frederick, that’s nurse Collet Telemaque brother.

          I’ve lived through that, there were others before me.

          I invite you to go unto my Website http://www.yvonnedods.com and go into the category ” About Me” and though what you read will not be about me personally, you will get an idea of who are the Telemaque’s.

          We have a very long history, which dates back more than five (500) hundred years, it even dates back to Vatican in Rome, and the name is alive and well on the Ivory Cost in Africa, and is found in Senegal where it originated.

          So while you exists under a slave owners name we the no good Telemaque’s exists under our original name:

          I wonder why?

          I know but it is not my intention to educate you, since you are not deserving.

          Some of you write nonsense believing that you are well spoken, when in fact all you are doing is nothing more than exposing and displaying stupidity. If you do not want to go unto my site, and you have a computer go to Keyword, and look up the name Vessy Denmark Telemaque.

          Or better yet look for Vessy Denmark Insurrection, and see what you find.

          From here on have some respect for our name, because you know nothing, absolutely nothing about us.

          If some like Palma heard you call his father, and grandfather, name he might burst your lips with a slap.

          So just shut you mouth a bit, you do not know who you are dealing with.

    I HOPE I DOH HEAR MARIGOT PEOPLE CRYING WHEN THEY HAVE NO REPRESENTATION IN PARLIAMENT. I f EDDO continues to boycott, well i suggest that marigot should be left alone and let the rest of Dominica move on.

    These are the same people who will march to government for all kind of meyett. These people are not Dominicans Originally they from Montserrat and Antigua I suggest they go back to their roots and leave Dominica alone for dominicans because they don’t care about Dominica’s Development.

    • Marigot is me
      May 6, 2010

      You see the type of ignorance that you people will spew. Surely, you can’t be from Marigot. There is no denying the fact that Marigot produced highly intelligent set of people. If their roots are from Montserrat and St. Kitts, then this says alot for those islands that many Dominicans migrate to in large number. WHere are you from?

      Marigot people will do the right thing and elect who they want to represent them. I think it is an insult on the labor party side to choose someone without a college degree to represent Marigot. Yes, this is one of the ways we measure intelligence in Marigot. Education is key. Eloquence is of uttermost importance. SHould I go on, to let you know that Marigot will not be insulted by others who can’t seem to measure to to the quality of production which comes from Marigot and Wesley.

        You are right. If we end up with what the UWP call a one-party State, it would have been brought on by the UWP. But PLEASE, do they mean a one party State or a one-party Parliament? Quite obviously we are nowhere near a one-party State, are we, with the vigorous protests by the UWP / MRD. I hope this silliness of a one-party State does not continue. What the political misfits of the UWP really mean, (if they are honest, but can they be?), is a one-party Parliament. Of course this too would have been brought on by the incompetents of the UWP. But hello! Both Grenada and St Vincent have had one-party parliaments in the recent past — all 15 seats to the winning party. Did that make them one-party States? Nuff foolishness and dishonest scare-mongering, please. What an absolute shame, the pass to which we have descended — a party born in vituperative expediency, with no over-arching philosophy, whose time has come and gone, and big men making a fool of themselves before DA, the Caribbean and the world!.

Don’t you see Eddison give up on all you? aren’t you mindful of the fact that if he, Eddison, had a conscience, he would still try his best to represent you all despite the fact of all the things that are happening and revolving around the government?
      When a man considers himself a leader for the people, he should understand that he has to face challenges and difficulties and by all means possible he should fight on behalf of his people to succeed and rise above these difficult issues..

      THEY WERE GRANTED THREE TRIES and they didn’t attend one. So ask yourself a question. So my advice would be Go with what you all have and GO with Baptiste. Give him the chance and see what he can do and also, work with him to ensure that your voices are heard. STEP BY STEP, LITTLE BY LITTLE. …remember all things doesn’t happen at the same time.

      What make you think that God is a labour-rite???

  13. My task was not very difficult, after all, since my last submission, I made a few phone calls to Dominica, and I was informed that Baptist is talking out of his mind; my source informed me that he might be delusional at the moment.

    My source assured me that James is still King in his constituency, and it is unlikely that Spags, will be defeated.

    The only fear was that Norris Prevost could have lost had he not participated in the one sitting of parliament which helped him to retain his seat.

      I mean seriously, I the DLP was genuinely interested in Marigot they would at least import an educated Marigotian if they do not like who is there to take the help. But the mere fact that they have this man trying to represent Marigot means that they just do not get it when it comes to Marigot people.

      Get it right, DLP, the only way that DLP can even be thought in Marigot is if they find someone who is respected and educated.

    DLP don’t stand a chance in Marigot we all know that, but Salisbury is not an easy walk-over for spags, i can assure you that!!!! PPL is not as stupid and narrow minded as UWP wants us to think they are, alot of the uwp supporters in salisbury will not vote in the by-election that will give DLP the upper hand.

    So the biggest looser in all of this rubbish is Hector ‘Spags” John!!!!!!

    On the matter of a one party state is uwp saying that if DLP controls all 21 seats in Parliament that there will no longer be a UWP or a Freedom Party? Is that what they saying that it will be only the DLP in the entire State!!

    TELL THEM COME BETTER THAN THAT BECAUSE THEY OUGHT TO KNOW IF THEY DON’T KNOW THAT IT IS OKAY FOR ONE PARTY TO WIN ALL 21 SEATS IN A GENERAL ELECTION, THAT INCLUDES THE UWP, SO IF THEY REVITALIZE THEIR PARTY WHO KNOWS IN 2014 THEY COULD WIN ALL 21 SEATS – SO TELL THEM STOP THE MOPPING AND GET ORGANIZED!!!!

    The people of Marigot and Salisbury will go down the same route and vote the same guys again.

    The question they have to ask themselves is, do they want to be represented in parliament or not? Edison James (while dragging Hector John along) will continue to boycott parliament and the concerns of the people will not be heard.

    The UWP say that Skerrit is turning Dominica into a one party state but such will occur only if the other parties refuse to participate in the matters of the country. So then who is causing Dominica to be a one party state?

      Concerns of Marigot has never been heard except for the few years when UWP lead. So they are not losing out if Edo goes to parliament or not. Don’t try to pretend you guys understand what is going on in Marigot. They refuse to develop the area just because Marigot people will benefit.

    u start to campaign wee…..chupes

  20. All I can say Edison James and Spags finally decided to fire themselves; oh, what a thing!

    Now Baptist is seeking to become king of Marigot, doesn’t he realize that king Edison James is yet alive?

    My task now is to check his confidence out and see if his claim that he can take Marigot from the real king, nonetheless, we never can tell perhaps the want a new king after all.

    ” I think I know but, I doh talking er.”

    Hahahahahahahahah!!!!

      You comment is a very lame one. Stupidity is a sin. Everyone have a right to exercise his or her democratic right to vote, so for you to make such a comment is down right stupidity.

        There is no stupidity in the statement made by GREG. Based on the the deceitful and crooked conduct of our politicians this is a very fair statement. Maybe thats what the Dominican people need to do next elections. But we all know that can never happen, our people love hand-out too much, It could be poison, as long as it is FREE we will rush for it

          Thank You Fantum. Outspoken and Staytuned are doomed. Don’t you ppl see how politicians ruin our beautiful land? Those politicians deal our land for undertable deals and theyu come and tell us to vote for them. DA has enough resources for each and every single Dominican to live comfortable. Still they fighting for us to put them in power for their family and friends to shine. EF all politicians.

    The saying is so right a prophet or man is not honoured in his own country or in his
    own village however you want to put it. The name `UWP` is really strickened from the books and therefore a new name or a new Party will have to be formed. Now there`s the new Freedom Party which stands a fairly good comeback next time around. The people of Marigot should really make up their minds who they want to represent them and their interest.
