Caribbean Airlines Limited, a leading airline in t

Caribbean Airlines Limited, a leading airline in the Caribbean, started service on July 24 to St. Kitts, in a highly anticipated launch.

This addition to Caribbean Airlines' network is part of the airline’s Welcome Home campaign which focuses on network expansion and is set to provide enhanced travel options and increased convenience for both business and leisure travellers in the region.

The flights will operate five times per week directly linking Trinidad, Antigua, Barbados, and St. Kitts.

The launch of this new route adds a remarkable 680 seats to/from St. Kitts every week, further catering to the growing demand for travel between St. Kitts and other destinations in the Caribbean.

Commenting on the launch of service to St. Kitts, the airline's CEO, Garvin Medera, expressed enthusiasm about this long-awaited achievement, stating, "This inaugural service has been in the making for some time, and it's a proud moment for us to finally bring it to fruition. Through the expansion facilitated by our Welcome Home campaign, we are fulfilling our promise to provide more convenient and enhanced travel options for the people of the Caribbean."

When the inaugural flight arrived in St. Kitts, a delegation led by the Honourable Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis, Dr Terrence Drew, met the aircraft and greeted the customers. There was a water salute for the aircraft which is customary when new routes are introduced. Customers on the flight also received tokens from Caribbean Airlines and the St. Kitts Tourist Board.

“By strengthening our regional travel links with Caribbean Airlines, we are forging a path towards sustainable economic growth,” said Honourable Marsha T. Henderson, Minister of Tourism, International Transport, Civil Aviation, Urban Development, Employment, and Labour. “The influx of travellers and increased business opportunities will invigorate local industries, generate employment, and foster entrepreneurship, empowering our communities to thrive together. Moreover, this venture exemplifies the essence of our Caribbean heritage, where diverse cultures intertwine, fostering understanding and unity.”

In order to afford a two-bedroom apartment in Toro

In order to afford a two-bedroom apartment in Toronto you’ll need to make more than twice the minimum wage, according to a new report.

A study from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA) confirmed what we already knew: the gap between the minimum wage and the cost of rent is massive.

The study, dubbed “Can’t afford the rent,” looks at the minimum wage in comparison to the average cost of renting in Canada. It calculates the hourly wage needed to afford rent while working a 40-hour work week, and spending 30 per cent of your income or less on rent. The report calls this the rental wage.

The study says that the 30 per cent rent-to-income threshold is one of three criteria used by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation to determine core housing needs. If rent takes up more than 30 per cent of your income, it’s considered unaffordable housing.

In Ontario, the minimum wage is $15.50, while the rental wage for a one-bedroom unit is $25.96, and $29.90 for a two-bedroom.

City Council unanimously supported a motion to urg

City Council unanimously supported a motion to urgently open up new shelter spaces for asylum seekers in Toronto. The motion, introduced by Toronto’s new Mayor Olivia Chow, directed the City Manager to immediately make available temporary shelter spaces for a minimum of 150 refugees, and to locate space for an additional 100 refugees as soon as possible.

The Council also requests the City Manager to develop an outreach strategy to encourage property owners to provide rental accommodation to asylum seekers. Council also agreed to a one-time investment of $6.7 million in the Canada-Ontario Housing Benefit rent supplement program to help asylum seekers secure permanent housing – an investment that will be matched by the provincial government.

The twin-island Caribbean nation of Antigua and Ba

The twin-island Caribbean nation of Antigua and Barbuda, is over the moon, and excitedly gearing up for one of their greatest adventures in history as Keisha Schahaff and her daughter Anastasia Mayers embark on a space travel journey, that will see them become Antigua and Barbuda’s first astronauts, and the first Caribbean mother-daughter duo to go to space.

Antigua and Barbuda’s Schahaff who is forty-six years, and her eighteen-year-old daughter will on August 10, 2023, board the Galactic 02 spaceflight from Spaceport America, New Mexico, marking Virgin Galactic’s first private astronaut spaceflight, and second commercial spaceflight.

To mark the historic occasion, the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority announced today that two public watch parties will take place on August 10 in both Antigua and Barbuda, allowing for the entire nation to be a part of the celebrations.

Galactic 02 will mark a historic and inspirational moment for the Caribbean and beyond, with watch parties and observances happening to celebrate the curiosity and achievements of the astronauts.

“Antigua and Barbuda’s spirit of adventure is unparallel. We commend the duo who will for years to come serve as an inspiration for those within our society who dream of travelling to space, and as a reminder of fearless Antiguans and Barbudans who have broken barriers. We are excited to witness this moment in history and extend an open invitation to all to join us at the watch parties for this historic moment”, said Antigua and Barbuda Minister of Tourism, Civil Aviation, Transportation, and Investment.

CEO of the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority, Colin C. James added, “We applaud our ladies as they embark on their remarkable journey to space. The excitement is such that the whole of Antigua and Barbuda feels as if we will be going to space with the ladies. We cannot wait for August 10, and will be out with our flags to cheer the ladies on”.

Special invited guests of the Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, The Hon. Gaston Browne, at the watch party will be Sir Richard Branson founder of Virgin Galactic, and Christopher Huie, a Jamaican-American, who earlier this yea

The World Health Organization (WHO) is pushing for

The World Health Organization (WHO) is pushing for a so-called global Pandemic Treaty by May 2024, granting them unprecedented power to control public health strategies and enforce measures like lockdowns, business closures and vaccination mandates.

You and I remember being forced into vaccinations, even for our children, despite the fact that the disease posed little threat to them. We were not provided with adequate information regarding the risks, safety, and effectiveness of the vaccine.

It could happen again, forced by one powerful organization with extensive and unclear interests.

The Pandemic Treaty grants WHO power to declare "potential" emergencies, expand global surveillance, counter "misinformation," and control public health approaches.

Prepare yourself for imposed lockdowns, business closures, vaccinations, and mobility restrictions unless vaccinated with a passport.

You and I must be readied for the long haul... Ready to safeguard our freedoms, sovereignty, and loved ones from the detrimental effects of the Pandemic Treaty.

Are you prepared to face what lies ahead?
