Should Trini seek to join the new South American union?

Question

Wait tell me what allyuh think about this idea.

The state of how some things in T&T heading been getting me real sad over the last few years... As a nation I think we should be looking at where we want to be. I talking even beyond Vision 2020 (reaching first world/developed world status.) And beyond de oil and so-on. I mean it will run out one day eventually. I'm of the opinion we need to start putting down new infrastructure and forming a strategic plan for the future to pay us dividends then as a nation.

I noticing this plan of uniting South America in an ambitious union. Shouldn't T&T be getting on board this now? So that when South America begins to come together in a few years we can begin to tap those ties? I mean T&T is blessed by its location (only 7 miles from Venezuela) next-to one of the largest (soon-to be) economic unions in the world. This is a huge oportunity also to get S. America to back T&T has the HQ for the Free Trade Area of the Americas.

Answer 1

Wonderful idea for the Caribbean, that bridge could also be a tourist attraction, with rest areas and stores that provides authentic Caribbean and Latin American cuisines. However it would have to be heavily guarded, as it will not be a hit with the American government, but the will of the Caribbean must be upheld and supported by everyone. A South American Union must be a way forward as we can and will and must sustain ourselves.

One Love.

Answer 2

Good question man, but do we have the will power to do this as a people.

Answer 3

I thought drinking Barbash (sp) was illegal?!

-----------

Yeah, yeah it could be done but the powers that be would not allow that (I aint talking 'bout T&T or Venezuala Governments. Hint, hint)

Answer 4

before joining any, free trade zone or union, one must know what kind of arrangements you are entering,

It is a union of governance or trade.

I do not see any future in a union of Governance,

and as far as trade, we must determine if we have the potential to export more and we import from these partners in the union.
