Let&#8217;s stop the idle talk. Let us just do our thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He added, \u201cLet us work, let us plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Fontaine believes that there is greatness in the ability to plan, think, and above all create opportunities and conditions for all persons to succeed in building a strong, vibrant economy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, he argued that for too long the party has seen Dominica slide painfully down the road of economic ruins.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cLives have been disrupted, families have migrated in large numbers and our young people in particular continue to suffer,\u201d Dr. Fontaine remarked.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He believes it is important to reflect on the thousands of Dominicans who have migrated overseas, living in the United States, Guadeloupe, St Maarten, and St Barts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt is important for us in the diaspora to build partnerships with us here in Dominica,\u201d he stated. \u201cAnd I\u2019m not talking about the barrel economy, just sending support to your families.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Fontaine stressed that Dominicans need to begin \u201cbuilding partnerships in business, partnerships that can provide resources to help build factories, source capital, to put our people to work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He continued, \u201cI think it&#8217;s time that we move to that level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He is confident that if Dominicans come together in groups of\u00a0 fives or tens and pull their resources together, \u201cwe can do a lot of things here in Dominica.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI believe it is time to push that focus, because our people here in Dominica, they are in fact hurting,\u201d Dr.Fontaine remarked. \u201cThey have been going through some very difficult times here in Dominica.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, Dr. Fontaine asserted that Dominica could feed the whole Caribbean.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere is no doubt in my mind that Dominican can indeed feed the Caribbean and is truly the breadbasket of the Caribbean,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, Dr. Fontaine mentioned that he sees the opportunity for advancement in the abundance of Dominica\u2019s water resources as well .\u201cI see opportunity in our herbs and spices, including Marijuana, Bay Oi, and other blends that are all unique to Dominica,\u201d he asserted. \u201cI see opportunities in our renewable energy sector\u00a0 from those in the neighbouring French islands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He added, \u201cAnd yes, I see opportunity in the young, bright people of this country who may appear to be wedged to their phones, but even in that there is opportunity, because the future of this world is in those gadgets that our young people are so fond of. And so, ours must be a journey to plan, to strategize, and to combine our efforts and resources to make the impossible possible.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Political Leader of the United Workers Party (UWP) Dr. Thomson Fontaine is appealing to the public to set aside their personal grudges and leave the past behind.
