    He should save addressing us. Better for him to ask the perpetrators themselves to kill the storm. We all know that DARPA via its weather warfare programs are behind this. So all he has to do is to get down on his knees and take it deep for the team and ask them to stop. We give in. We’ll do what they want, save giving homosexuals the right to marry our men.

    From the diaspora we want our people to listen to the authorities and take the proper steps to protect themselves and families, the weather persons bring the weather report often enough so don’t ignore the warnings remember what happened with Erika. We are concern because many of us have families at home so we a listening too.
    We hope that the PM will not leave the people at this time because whenever bad weather is heading to Dominica he leaves the Island so lets keep watching..
    PM would you really leave the people during terrible weather season to come up to Toronto to party with a group that is dividing the Dominican Community here, I hope not . Dominicans be safe.

    Is the Prime Minister in island? is that factual?

    why didn’t we close biz for today knowing that we would get the system’s effects///

    that’s why i dislike da fully..them lacking any kinda of thinking…..
    they just dunce dumb and unable to understand any kind of readings….
    the other islands in particular Barbados and St.Lucia were ahead of their game as usual..

    but those kinda folks in da are afraid of making a blunt decision…
