President Kangaloo calls for Tobago autonomy - i calling to independence them !

[death365]

I completely agree, free them Tobago-nese. In fact independence them !!!!

President Christine Kangaloo has said it is time to prioritize autonomy for Tobago and give Tobago the self-government it deserves.

In her feature address during her inaugural visit to the island, President Kangaloo said she had not addressed the topic in the opening of Parliament because she wanted to first raise it with the Tobagonian community directly first.

She stated, "At this crucial juncture in our country's history, it is our duty to prioritize the issue of Tobago's autonomy on a national level."

She emphasized the need for increased efforts in achieving self-governance for the island. "I believe it is time to thoroughly review and revisit the matter of Tobago's autonomy," she asserted, adding that she believes the moment has come for a final legislative push towards granting autonomy to Tobago.

Autonomy is not the same as independence. That talk came to a quick end when PDP won the THA election

Tobago does have real mouth bout independence until the boat shut down, then all of a sudden they calling about the gubbament for starving them.

Tobago needs more autonomy/self-government and I do believe that they are being held back especially by the pnm for political purposes. Tobago just like Trinidad have so much potential.

Both islands can have self-government and still be part of the Republic.

Seceding on the other hand would be complex.

Tobago under the red mis government is treated as a slave plantation. Its like they a step child

Vote farm.

They have enough tourism resources to be just as profitable, if not mire, than the other leeward islands.
They could actually add to the treasury.

No Autonomy...either you all in as a part of the country or you are not.
Become Independent or GTFO with autonomy

.....when they got access to the books and saw that Tobago only makes $200M TTD on their own a year.....

does that count the expanded gas fields? I remember that was part of some discourse some time ago. Standalone/independent both islands would have reduced access to offshore gas fields.

the exclusive economic zone in which our oil and gas fields are located is calculated from the archipelagic baseline of the two islands.

What about the contributions from the population that lives or visits the island? Is that in there or not? I don't see anything that accounts for the contributions from income and goods taxes collected as part of the TTD200 million total.

[redmanjp]

the fallout from the boat shutting down is a main reason tobago would not want independence- they depend on trinidad for most goods. but maybe the new tobago October carnival might bring in some more $$$ including forex.

They go buy a few pirogue from Venezuela with that small change Treasury they pulling down to run ferry to Grenada. Pull them with their $2.5M piece of rope.

[bluefete]

You cannot want autonomy and still be dependent on the treasury. Madness. Let Tobago derive its own revenue sources and wean itself from Trinidad.

[paid_influencer]

the most over-governed region on the planet wants to add more governments, of course

who paying?

maybe we can add more taxes or cut services,
to pay for more government

give islanders a national flag and an anthem, so they get their monies worth, from more government

[maj. tom]

Let Tobago run a referendum like Scotland did in 2014. If that's what the people of Tobago want, make up the treaty and make the cut. Let Tobago be just another poor impoverished small island in the Caribbean, but they have their own independent affairs and Treasury to see about.

Just remember that the voting public is always highly stupid and easily manipulated like Brexit.

The moment Tobago gets independent, it's the moment they become little Germany
