HOW T&T FELL OFF THE HAPPINESS MAP
TRINIDAD and Tobago has fallen off so badly in the world happiness index that it was not surveyed for the latest report.
A total of 149 countries were monitored in six categories to determine the happiest country in the world.
USELESS MINISTERS
National Security Minister Fitzgerald Hinds remained mum, typical of his response to the orgy of crime.
Acting Prime Minister Colm Imbert characteristically responds only to matters of his Finance Ministry, especially if an expert disputes his upbeat statistics.
US FURIOUS OVER AMERY’S RELEASE OF DIPLOMATIC NOTE
Minister of Foreign Affairs Dr. Amery Browne last week gave details of the confidential diplomatic dialogue and letter.
“This is unprecedented in Trinidad and Tobago and possibly in the democratic world,” a diplomatic source said.
MORE AND MORE LIKE HAITI…

There is much creativity, although nothing like Renegades, our 13-time Panorama winner.
IMF ‘CHAIN UP’ FOR IMBERT
WHILE many people are struggling to make a living in Trinidad and Tobago, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has managed to praise the Government’s handling of the economy.
US TALKS TOUGH WITH ROWLEY ON SECURITY
Linda Specht, a Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Biden Administration, last week held three days of discussions, during which she took a hardline on drug, gun, and human trafficking, and relations with Venezuela.
ROWLEY IS A REGIONAL FAILURE TOO
MONTHS before the security crisis in Haiti descended into its current anarchy, Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley pledged to work toward an international intervention.
GOVT SNUBS VISITING GHANA ENERGY MINISTER
GHANA’S Energy Minister Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh was largely snubbed by the Trinidad and Tobago Government during a just-ended visit.
T&T STILL ON EU TAX BLACKLIST
TRINIDAD and Tobago is now one of only 12 countries in the world on the European Union’s tax blacklist.
The EU has just removed The Bahamas, Belize, Turks and Caicos Islands and Seychelles from its dreaded blacklist.
But T&T is still there, with other countries that, according to the EU, are “not cooperative on tax matters.”
ROWLEY’S ONE-MONTH VACATION
WITH Trinidad and Tobago under a crime siege, Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley has quietly taken a one-week vacation in Guyana.
When Rowley returns, he will go on a 10-day holiday.
