Missing referendum law paves way for misinformation
(CNS): As the opposing campaigns for the referendum on whether or not the government should construct cruise berthing facilities heat up, CPR Cayman activists, who are advocating for a ‘no’ vote, say that signs being used by ACT, the group campaigning for a ‘yes’, are misleading the public about the question voters are being asked.
Since there is no general referendum law, there is no way to hold anyone to account for the misinformation now being peddled, the local grassroots activists said in a press release on Friday.
CPR said that signs stating “Vote Yes for Cruise Tourism” that are being posted by the ‘yes’ campaign infer that voting ‘no’ for cruise berthing would be voting against cruise tourism as a whole.
“This is not at all a part of the referendum question and is clearly and intentionally aimed at misleading the public that a vote against cruise berthing is a vote against cruise tourism. They are not the same,” a spokesperson for CPR said.
In response to their concerns about the misleading signs, Elections Supervisor Wesley Howell explained that his office could do nothing about misinformation.
“There are no provisions in the Referendum Act or the applicable sections of the Elections Act that make it illegal or unlawful to erect a sign or issue a broadcast, for that matter, which is viewed as misleading in relation to a referendum question. I therefore have no legal authority to address your concern,” he told the activists.
The Referendum Act that Howell referred to is the law brought to parliament by the UPM minority government and passed with the support of the PPM opposition. That legislation made no provisions for managing campaign financing or laying down rules about how campaigns should be conducted.
As a result, anyone campaigning on any of the three referendum questions, including those relating to a national lottery and the decriminalisation of ganja, can spend as much money as they like and do not have to declare their sources of funding, not even money from overseas, such as from the cruise lines, which can influence the vote here and say whatever they like with impunity.
While the elections legislation regulates all aspects of general elections, including candidates’ expenses, advertising and disclosures, the government passed the Referendum Bill without any regulations for that national poll.
CPR had argued against holding this particular referendum because the government has never enacted a general referendum law to govern the rules and equality relating to both people-initiated and government-initiated referendums and the related campaigns.
The activists have consistently called for a fair referendum process in accordance with good governance principles and best international practice. Without that law, people have been allowed to act in ways that violate those principles beyond breaking point.
“Misleading information should be regulated, and there should be recourse to challenge this
information. The people of the Cayman Islands deserve to have a fair and equitable referendum
process,” CPR said.
At the heart of the issue is that those campaigning for a pier somewhere on Grand Cayman are conflating the referendum question with the future of cruise tourism. CPR said that a ‘no’ vote is not a vote against cruise tourism but a vote against costly, inappropriate, environmentally damaging and unnecessary development, especially in George Town Harbour.
The non-profit supports improvements to the existing cruise infrastructure, such as the provision of adequate shade, innovations to reduce wait times, and improved facilities and attractions.
“Cayman has the opportunity to be a leader in responsible tourism, ensuring thoughtful, community-centered development that protects our economy, environment, and quality of life for generations to come. By working together, we can create a future where local cruise operators continue to thrive, tourism flourishes, and growth and preservation go hand in hand,” they said.
CPR Cayman is advocating for a sustainable tourism future that balances high-value overnight visitors with a thriving boutique cruise sector, ensuring that local cruise operators continue to benefit from a model that enhances Cayman’s unique appeal rather than prioritising unsustainable mega-ship volume.

The government here is useless. Here is a simple idea which they could have easily implemented and never did: eliminating all import duties on fruit, vegetables, fish, meats, dairy, rices and pastas. That would make everyone’s life considerably easier here and they don’t do it. Oh and they could also import from Jamaica where food and cost of living is considerably cheaper. Not Rocket science but frankly i don’t think the govt or the supermarkets care about doing what’s right.
You CPR people who won’t even show up for a debate are going to go insane when the new government just builds it anyway… no matter which way the referendum goes….
😉
HEARD THAT !
you know the only ones I hear criticising CPR for not debating is ACT. So i guess we know where you two are from. Elio? Joey? That you?
We don’t pay for it, a portion of port fees pays for it.
Not one dollar from you or this country will pay for it.
You have two choices on the referendum yes or no. Yes ,the government accepts the country want to go to the next step. That step is for them to meet with all the cruise lines and work out the logistics.
A no vote is “We don’t want any piers” Which means THERE WILL BE NO CRUISE INDUSTRY.
What is the confusion with your letter claiming that you want cruise business is nonsense. Research just ask the port. Joseph Wood work as a port director at the Port, he will tell you that the cruise business will become null and void.
Exactly like the 40 stores that no longer operate in town because there is not enough volume of people from the cruise ship.
You have been brainwashed.
Good, we don’t need cruise. It’s the most environmentally damaging form of travel and causes extreme amounts of greenhouse gas emissions – 10x the amount had they flown in, and the airlines don’t take a cut from your tours anyway.
Just like Mexico paid for the wall in the U.S. I feel sorry for your lack of critical thinking skills.
Didn’t i just read this comment somewhere else?
If the port fees are going to pay for it, then that is called loss of revenue, which means, yes we are paying for it.
NO, vote NO! We don’t need the expense unless we actually want the UK to intervene…
The confusion that I’m reading sounds like you can’t get your story together? You say it’s going to cost $450 million dollars but you don’t know anything because the government needs to give you more information?
Who told you it’s going to cost 450 million dollars?
Who told you that we need to get a loan?
Who told you it’s going to need dredging?
The news report I read is that the government doesn’t have any money?
So how would we get the loan?
The last plan was to make the piers longer so that the ships didn’t need
The last plan was the cruise ship companies would finance the building of the cruise ship piers.
If for any reason we lose that deal then there is no cruise ship piers.
Whether you want to believe or not since you know everything . we did have in 2019 ,1.9 million people coming to Cayman. Covid came and the business plan went forward and we need piers which we should have had regardless.
We went down to 1.1 million passengers. Obviously you haven’t noticed the lost of business when there is no ships in town? The place looks like a ghost town. 40 businesses shut down.
People claim that stay overs would increase and we would see more people coming to town? Where?
Maybe Camana Bay? This Sunday I noticed that Spotts beach, smith cove, Government beach, public beach was jammed pact with cars and people. They weren’t from cruise ships. They were people who live here not stay overs.
Cruise ship tourists get off around 8:30 and are standing in line waiting to get on a ship for 45 minutes in the sun or the rain by 3:30 to 4:00 leaving Cayman.
What time do you use the beaches in Cayman? After 5-6? cruise tourists don’t effect you. But stay overs do even on the weekends.
Ask your questions you don’t know what you’re talking about. We would be happy to show you.
“It won’t cost us anything as the cruise companies will pay for it”…??
They’ll want to be paid back and we will have to service that debt.
That aside, are we going to make the roads wider and the beaches longer so there will be room for the additional thousands you want..? There has to be room for US as well. We’re also allowed to enjoy Cayman.
At 1.1 Million visitors we are still #6 in the region.
All of the information is from the previous plan, but we do not know what plan there is or will be. Of course there will be dredging.
Your diatribe just shows you have drank the kool aid.
nope. you guys are the worst and have lost ALL credibility! Just give up
Piers? First, let’s discuss how we are going to handle this:
https://parliament.ky/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Post-Retirement-Healthcare-Report-for-2021-FY-recd-May-2022.pdf
Vote NO for Cayman, and YES for private PROFITS!
VOTE NO!We don’t need no cruise ship terminal, weve got enough traffic congestion issues, no recycling programme and sorting out the dump is a more important issue.
Also, who are we building this for? One can see that the average cruise ship passenger is going to spend $40 while in port, focus on the overnight tourist market and the luxury private yachts.
We don’t need to further in-debt future generations, and while you’re voting NO here, then vote No to any candidate who supports this project. Kenneth, I hope you pack your bags for good and take Joey, John John, Juju, Mac, and the rest of your crew with you.
what I don’t understand is they can hardly handle what we have coming here now but they want to maximize the income of people and ships? we are a SMALL island, and we only need to deal with what we have now! we won’t be able to use it, they will lock it off to the public and what will we gain from it besides more traffic and more congestion, more inconvenience.
It’s not what WE will get out of this that the pro pier shouters are promoting, it’s what the waterfront shop owners will get out of it that’s behind the Yes vote screamers.
To hell with the rest of Cayman all long as their tills keep ringing.
We don’t have room and we can’t afford it.
and even then the people behind don’t even care about all of the shop owners. they only care about those in the same area as thier stores ! greedy!
The most disgusting thing is the government using public money to fight the very people it is supposed to represent. These posters are simply false but that is how stupid the government thinks we are!
I may have “accidentally” run over a bunch of those little ones on the side of the road on my way to work.
Not all hero’s wear capes
NO Cake for you..!
I believe illegal disposal of human waste by cruise ships transporting 7-9,000 people is what infected/killed corals from Florida to the Caribbean with SCTDL; now imagine ships carrying 12-15,000 people.
My proposal is three-pronged:
– Negotiate new contracts with boutique cruise lines
– Secure a bigger profit margin for the attractions and cruise operators and ban anyone who does not offer excellent customer service consistently (it’s an art, you know)
– Encourage local entrepreneurs to create local souvenirs. Even if we get fewer visitors, they will purchase more because the merchandise is unique.
📌 Ganja will still be illegal. The only difference would be that (like a speeding ticket) it would not appear in someone’s police record.
This referendum is not binding, so whether the majority vote yes or no we have no guarantee that future administrations will respect what the majority voted for.
And like a speeding ticket, it won’t be a deterrent to those who choose to speed or use ganja.
Slippery slope Cayman, condoning drug use.
Drinking alcohol is our national sport. Stop the hypocrisy, and perhaps educate yourself with something more reputable than “Reefer Madness”.
To 11:48pm: For your information, the aim is to stop people getting a police record which then prevents them from getting employment, student visas, medical attention overseas, etc. The fact that it would still be very much illegal tells us that no one is “condoning” anything.
Doesn’t seem to have done Kenny any harm.
Where’s the incentive not to partake in something which is illegal…? Is there an “Illegal lite” category..?
VOTE NO. Period. Keep Cayman from being sucked into the bottomless pit of debt that numerous politicians seem to be advocating. They’re so eager to waste the public’s money. Don’t let them do it!
ACT are behaving like they represent poor Caymanians who have no income or business.
3.5% of the population are engaging in emotional blackmail to persuade 96.5% of the population to pay the $450Million debt, so they can have More business.
Sorry Buds, not buying that from you, or from the politicians who are using you to enrich themselves.
Unbelievable !!! You call Caymanians ignorant and poor taxis and tour bus drivers? Have you gone on a tour from the dock? So you don’t know! A Quick Look at all the comments from the top of the page to the bottom shows that no more than 10 people are really behind all of this nonsense. You all have been brainwashed by a small group of people who don’t want to accept that the Cayman Islands need cargo dock for the Brac also. Have you all been shopping ? The reason the freight cost so much is supply and demand. Containers cost CI$4000-5000 from Miami to Grand Cayman. A whole chicken cost CI$36 and a dozen eggs $15 in the Brac. Supply and demand. They need ship that can go to the Brac in 4-6 hours not 2-3 days geniuses. Talk to people who come to Grand Cayman to shop from airport fosters 20-30 min flight rather than wait 2-3 days. Did you know that it has to be built? The cargo dock needs to use dynamite or excavate to make it deeper for cargo ships to come in that are longer and wider. We will need to buy larger equipment to reach the containers on the wider side of the ships. Our container ships are too small.
So whats the solution to bring down costs on the islands? The ten of you who paid for the multi colour flyers most be doing pretty good. how many did you place on all the p o boxes in the Cayman Islands . Sorry I forgot somebody donated all the signs and flyers. Right? By the way I saw a lot of them in the trash. “You can fool some of the people sometimes but you can’t fool them all the time.”
You all are the same people who don’t want the 4 lane highway from Newlands to East End too. You believe that you have a right to save the area where the people who are definitely natives of this island who live in the Eastern District? That highway was gazetted by Jim Bodden and Haig Bodden a hero who fought for the Eastern Districts 55 years ago. But you keep ranting about “save the environment” . What about the environment on the west bay beach and the swampland across the street. You see you may not know a fact about this island and that is 66% of Grand Cayman is swampland. The population grows? The land develops. You can complain if you are next to a piece of land you own. But not a piece you don’t border on.
1984 I ran Calypso Divers Ltd at the location where Casanova restaurant is. I am a NAUI and PADI Dive Instructor and a dive chamber operator and have run boats up to 106 ft. I have over 10,000 dives in grand cayman. I worked with my family in Prospect park and Omega Bay Estates when Rex Creighton and Jim Bodden were developing canal front and residential lots. We used dredge boats and draglines all over new developments that butt and border the North sound. These developments started in the late 60’s. I was 9 years old when I saw a dredge pumping up Rum Point going to Star fish point. Is that destroyed? Morgans harbour, Yacht club was done by a Japanese dredge , Governors harbour, snug Harbour , Camana bay, gt bacadere, Red Bay, Patrick island, prospect, Rackleys canal, all the way to Rum Point all by draglines and dredge boats. What happened to environment? Nothing !! George Town first cargo dock used dynamite and excavating to remove the hard bottom. what happened to eden rock? Nothing! Royal Watler? Nothing!! 1933 Balboa ship blown up by Bertie Eldermire , in fact he used so much dynamite that the engine room was 80-100 ft away form the main section of the ship. Plus the bow and stern went in to 2 different directions and the middle section turned upside down and created an air pocket in 30 feet of water. We could pick it up and place in another section of the reef crane, diver and a barge. Simple. But let’s not forget the Cali? They blew that up in 1948, the rice ship from Cali, Columbia. First time in history that Caymanians cooked rice. My father didn’t like rice he only ate bread kind.
Since 1937 every ship which got bigger and bigger as the year progressed dropped a heavier and heavier anchor attached to hundred of pound of links going back up to the ship. The difference of your anchor in your small boat is rope that doesn’t lay on the bottom. But a cruise ship anchor lays on the bottom and is on top of the reef and has plowed every piece of coral reef from Eden rock to the new Hylton hotel.
In 1984 a time when most of you were a thought in your parents dreams a cruise ship ran aground. In about 12-15 feet of water a little bit north of the new Hilton hotel. Go snorkel it you will see where they HAD to dredge a hole the length of the bow to the engine room of the Rhapsody cruise ship. down to about 30-35 feet. I know that because I had the contract from a company on the ship that was starting snorkelling and I did the introduction to scuba course every wed. when they came.
The ship was aground for 66 days and Smit Rotterdam salvage company came with a dredge and had a bond of a million dollars in case of any damage to the reef from the dredging.
A man went scuba diving by himself and they asked if divers would go look for him and so volunteers went. Adrian briggs and myself went together to lend a hand . he picked me up from my dive shop dock and we steered to NW point. On our way passing where the pipes were shooting water over the drop off. I was putting my backpack and regulators together when Adrian said they are dropping the material on top of the reef. I said what a shame you don’t have a camera and he said, I do but do you have enough surface interval to go down that deep I said yes . I went over down to 70 feet and the top of the hill of sand silt and marl was 30 feet from the surface. Thats a lot of silt, sand and marl. It took some time to get someone to shut off the dredging.
But nobody cleaned it up!! The next northwester sent it all over the coral reefs that made up Sotos reef central and reefs by lobster pot. Do you dive or snorkel what happened to the coral reef? Nothing Coutney Platt everything is beautiful?
What about Sotos reef central ? Holland America turned around as a northwest wind swung around a drove the ship in to the reef. Did you know about that one?. Nope you didn’t what about the Carnival that turned around at eden Rock? Nope you didnt . Then of course you have probably seen the steel cable that runs out perpendicular to the shore at Eden Rock. that was use to get a trawler off the shore line. Then of course the 330 ft. cargo ship leaving the port in the night when the engine shut off and drove the ship on top of Eden rock . But Courtney says it’s beautiful nothing to see here and everything is just perfect.
Wake up. we need infrastructure in these islands whether you want it or not. David Miller good night
Thank you Mr Miller for your well documented post.
You forget however, all the dredging for canal projects was carried out Inland and not in open ocean.
The dredging to free the Rhapsody HAD to be done.
And as for “whether you want it or not”, misses the basic fact that we CANNOT afford it…let’s face that simple fact and concentrate on making the best of what we do have.
Illegal.? No
Unprincipled.? Yes.
Not CPR’s style and highlights the difference between the two factions.
Whatever the pros or cons Mr Miller.
Simple fact , we can’t afford it.
and none of that has anything to do with the article. It states that ACT should not be using signs that say “Vote Yes to save cruise tourism”.
That is not what the question is. The question is “Should the Cayman Islands develop cruise berthing infrastructure?”
While you may be angry, cruise berthing does not guarantee “saving” cruise tourism. In fact there are many ways that we exceed regional standards.
The Cayman Islands ranks #6 in the number of cruise tourists and this is after jurisdictions like Bahamas which arguably has a much larger land mass and population.
Cruise berthing does not guarnatee anything, except a debt we cannot pay.
We can enhance the current port, but it does not need to damage the reef to do so.
VOTE NO!
My respectful short answer to your diatribe is that you are mixing up piers for increased cruise tourism (not wanted) with an upgraded cargo dock (needed).
I’m pretty sure the Brac can produce poultry products for much less than the costs that you’ve stated it’s being imported for. Brackers are known for their business prowess, this looks like a huge winner and you can supply Little while you’re at it.
Success comes to those who embrace change and cruise ships look like a huge problem which we need to distance ourselves from. Yes a cruise pier would change the interface we have with ships but also makes us more and more dependent to our own detriment.
VOTE YES!
Abolutely
You can smell the desperation wafting off of the ACT group and their spin offs, creating new randomly named Facebook pages on a weekly basis, posting clips and cuts of their own events on other pages that 100% aren’t just being run by the same people and now this random ‘Yes for cruise’ campaign that has no substance and no merit
I guess anything is better than being bombarded with ‘Support our Port, Support our Tourism’ 200 times a day like in 2019
The 30th can’t come fast enough
None of them stop to think what thousands more flooding GT will do.
No mention of burdening our struggling finances with a further $450Miilon obligation.
Hundreds more buses and taxis will logjam our roads.
The crowded beaches will be Higglers Heaven.
No housing for thousands more imported workers.
Stretched medical facilities. Etc etc.
Tourists will not want to return to an overcrowded concrete slab.
We already have cruise tourism, concentrate on improving that within our means.
For example of how disingenuous that sign is, the three CEOs of cruise lines at the Family Life Center public meeting during the last rise of this ugly head, stated that not building the piers would not cause the death of our cruise industry. It would just mean that the handful of new mega ships that they were launching would bypass us. Despite their claims at that time that all new ships would be mega ships, we recently learned that over 50 of the smaller class ships are currently being built, including for Disney, which means plenty of longevity for the local cruise industry… if Trump’s tariffs don’t cause a global recession, or even potentially a depression. Building it brings no guarantee that they will come through hell or high water. Had we built when this last came up, we’d have killed the harbor with the dredge at great expense just in time for Covid-19 to shut everything down (as just one example of the tentative nature of cruise). All of the global issues that can affect our economy (and there are many) can also affect cruise, but the mortgage on building the piers would remain our liability to pay. Look to CPR for the litany of facts disclosed by the EIA in 2019 regarding the numerous misrepresentations coming from ACT and other proponents of the cruise berth plan. Even the CEOs, when put under the spot light had to admit that our cruise industry does not depend upon a berth for survival.
This is lowbrow — trying to mislead people through massaging the truth, and really, an outright lie. You people who are running for office and pushing the cruise port so hard, perhaps you might take an hour or so and detail how it will help the average Caymanian. We, the average Caymanians, really don’t get it. All we see is increased bumper-to-bumper traffic, augmenting expat taxis, and those that run the tender operations (the only people that truly benefit from the cruise traffic) get less or no work.
Lay it out. Make your case, if you have the sand to do so. We don’t see it. We also don’t see how giving concessions to rich foreign developers to make more boutique hotels that are subsequently filled with hundreds of underpaid expats helps any of us AT ALL! [Expletive!!]
Step up and state you case if you dare.
A pro pier Einstein called the radio talk show to suggest the material dredged for the mega ships to park at the piers could be used to replenish the material lost from SMB.
Brilliant, genius, we can then rename it
7 MARL beach.
They are misleading the uneducated that a NO vote will be against Cruise tourism.
They don’t point out the vote relates to piers, saddling us with a $450Million debt.
The pro pier bunch are the unprincipled ignorant element in our midst who rely on the likes of Mac and Kenneth to spend our money.
Their Jamaican millionaire supporters don’t care beyond their personal interests and will ruin Cayman as they did their own country.
Don’t vote PPM, vote NO to cruise piers.
Imagine working in the tourism industry and advocating for something that is guaranteed to destroy the tourism product.
and the environment. One cruise ship passenger’s trip equates to 100,000 plastic bags worth of carbon emissions.
But hey, mek sure ya remember your 25 cent re-usable bag that you’ll use less times than it takes to make it negate your carbon footprint for using a plastic bag.
Respectfully, we live amongst idiots.
Agreed 7.49.
I wouldn’t return to or recommend a place where the overfed and badly dressed roam in traffic jammed streets, and higglers pester on beaches.
It is easy to VOTE NO
Elio Solomon, Dave Miller, Monique Hamaty, Austin Harris and the act posse seem to be taking their instructions from the cruise lines. Somebody is paying for all of this and I bet it is foreign money, corporations and partners in other countries like Jamaica. The desperation is clear and leads to despicable behavior by a collection that sound like unhinged racists.
They are always and have always been for sale. That stupid “talk show” Elio and Austin have is full of expat hate and grifting nonsense.
If Kennth Bryan, Joey Hew and PPM supports cruise piers without sharing any plans with the public then it’s going to be an expensive mess for this country and fail at the polls.
There is no such thing as a free ride. Nothing has changed since the last time when PPM spread their lies and misinformation pushing for a cruise berthing facility in 2018-2019 telling us it would cost Cayman nothing according to Alden, Moses and Joey back then.
Let’s make it clear for them and VOTE NO at the polls
Poor Caymanians in taxi and tours are being riled up and used by ACT and their politicians.
Why doesn’t ACT and Ministry of Tourism use their credibility if any with the cruise companies to support tour operators and demand the cruise lines give an improved share of profits to Cayman operators from passengers on their ships?
Most Tour operators are making 30-40% of per passenger of the costs charged by cruise lines while the cruise lines nets easily take the majority in profit booked thru the cruise lines but carry zero risks for the service and attraction.
It’s crazy that we are to vote for a port in a referendum that we have no plans for or any idea of what it would. This government can shovel anything on this port at this time but note the minister has presented zero plans.
The country said no when the PPM presented a plan and the cost why the hell would we say now when it’s just Kenneth’s word and that’s not worth anything as he would doing to remain in power and afford his new lifestyle. Hell his constituents already told him no one this and that’s how he was elected the last time and now he’s completely ignoring them. Make you wonder who he’s listening to now because it’s not the people who elected him.
This government which is led by PPM members is shockingly embarrassing as it continues to prove it’s Just Another Day in Absurdistan
Thank you CPR for keeping us all informed and this government on their toes. This government cannot be trusted
I observed some really disturbing behavior and ignorance from ACT. We cannot reward the despicable behavior so my family will VOTE NO!
Cayman will act and will loudly vote no because of the lies and ignorance displayed by the pro port lobbyists.
I saw a post on Facebook by “Save Cayman” that was claiming that if the cruise pier doesn’t go through, 3,000 Caymanians would lose their jobs and there would an increase in crime. Never mind the total insult insinuation suggesting if Caymanians lose their jobs they have no moral fibre and would immediately resort to crime, but the who premise is a scare-tactics lie. There is NO way 3,000 Caymanians lose their jobs. It’s a ridiculous claim, yet the government is paying people to spread such lies.
I think they were referring to the 55% Jamaicans employed in the industry who would act in that way, as they did after Ivan.
Let me get this straight.
We NEED a half a billion dollar piece of concrete to make massive, environmentally disastrous methods of transport pull up on our dead capital’s front step..
Because the megaships cannot tender as is now? So tell me something, if she needs to evacuate rapidly, do the passengers jump overboard?
We don’t need to build a dock purposely for cruise lines when they’re buying their own private islands and terraforming them instead.
I am all for voting against cruise tourism.
Maybe then the higglers will crawl back to kenny land
Good of CPR to call it out quickly, but it’s simply clever “marketing” by ACT. Shows they hired some good (read, expensive) PR folks. Cash is king CPR, campaign accordingly. I’m one with you.
Can voters appreciate the decent into murky double speak and chaos if ganja and lotteries fall into the most corrupt MPs hands? We do not have the governance to consider any of these, even if they sound like good ideas anywhere else (willing to entertain both standards, laws, and enforcement).
If Bryan and Solomon are involved in the cruise berth, something dodgy is afoot. Will never trust either.
Is there anything illegal with placing a vote NO decal
over these signs? How can anyone, I mean anyone thinks that removing the reefs in this area is a good thing? How many of you young Caymanians have been trained and been diving in this area? It’s in the thousands!!! Just think, it won’t be around if the dock is allowed to go in, weather it’s George Town or anywhere else. Mother Nature can’t replace them. Please VOTE NO
Illegal.? No
Unprincipled.? Yes.
Not CPR’s style and highlights the difference between the two factions.
Great news !! one step closer to a yes vote
The cruise line cartel of washed up cronies and screaming banshees are not only pathetic but anti-Caymanian. Don’t be fooled by the sharks with deep pockets and foreign influence. #VOTE NO.
Thanks CPR for calling BS on ACT and this entire referendum farce!!
Cayman wake up and VOTE NO
Of course he can’t do anything about misinformation. Everything is one big joke on this island now. One big stinking Pattie shop. Sad bad!!
If you have to be anything but truthful, then you aren’t worth listening to. You aren’t worth convincing anyone to do anything.
You are untrustworthy and deceiving.
Voting NO. Thanks!!
Hold on there, say what you want about the imported ones, but Don’t mess with my Island Taste Patties.
