It is my opinion that carnival should go back to how it was in the olden days. Just pure fun! Too much commercialization has ruined the real purpose of carnival in the first place. use the funding to improve things for the at risk youth and those less fortunate among us. Stop wasting money on things that are not important. One would argue that Carnival will bring in tourists to the island. Well, when did we start depending on tourists for our survival? The answer is clear: When the so called politicians decided that we should ignore and neglect our natural resources and depend on Europeans….our colonizers. Another subtle form of slavery perpetrated by the very people we trust to take us…

This has nothing to do with Government. Any Government throwing money at Carnival is like putting Sardines in front a Boar Cat.

Fiscal Insanity comes in many forms and Government supporting lackadaisical and halfass copy cat productions by money hungry so called kaiso organizers is just one way to ruin the economic fortunes of any country. That said;

Carnival does need to be supported by external Government support in Offshore Tourism Marketing ONLY.

I personally know some butt lazy ‘Arm Chair’ Kaiso experts who spend ALL YEAR TALKING about Carnival but DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to make any meaningful contribution to the overall international appeal that Saint Lucia’s…

So whats the bottom line on Jazz TONI ! ! How much did the Jazz loose and when will you write about this ?? The Carnival is set up to fail deliberately and die a slow death by the stiff upper lippers who looks down at such events with a scorn whether it makes money or not for the dam country, they see it as a bruse to their stuff up moralistic principles. It’s always robbing Peter to pay Paul(jazz). For the very little that’s given to carnival you would think [they] would go out of their way to ensure every penny is earned on every dollar spent instead they slice and dice and throw the tax payers the bone.

You can thank the VAT and Kenny Disaster Anthony for this economic failure which has destroyed everything on the island including carnival. Now he want to destroy the arts with his Creative Industries. Life cannot be run by reading books and calling yourself a doctor. Mr. Disaster started this crisis from his first day in office in 1997. How could one man do so much disaster.
