Carnival shall go on as normal, this is most important.

I am unsure as to why the 100% increase though. 100% over 5 years sure but 100% in just 1 day?

I asked the owner about this he said the supplier just told him there is a heavy tax imposed on imported channa. Either that owner getting rob big time by the supplier, the owner lying and double the price for spite which I doubt, or price of channa has really increased by 100% across the country.

I will wait for someone else here to confirm if this really is the case elsewhere. If so, then doubles will now cost atleast $7.

Even though I'm not a fan of Carnival I was actually thinking since Brazil cancel their Carnival most tourists will come here instead thus resulting in an increased tourism revenue for Carnival this year.

http://www.resilience.org/stories/2008- ... eliverance

In the story, Joseph who was sold into Egypt becomes the powerful advisor of Pharoah, who is having bad dreams. In one of the dreams, Pharoah dreams of seven fat cows, devoured by seven starving cows. In the second, seven ripe, healthy sheaves of wheat are devoured by seven shrivelled, dry ones. Joseph correctly predicts that this means,
“Immediately ahead are seven years of great abundance in all the land of Egypt. After them will come seven years of famine and all the abundance in the land of Egypt will be forgotten. As the land is ravaged by famine, no trace of the abundance will be left in the land…And let Pharoah take steps to appoint overseers over the land, and organize by taking a fifth part of the land’s produce in the seven years of plenty. Let all the food of those good years that are coming be gathered and let the grain be collected under Pharoah’s authority as food to be stored in cities. Let that food be a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which will come upon the land of Egypt, so that the land may not perish in the famine.”
Joseph’s understanding and forethought enable Egyptians, and ultimately his own family to survive the famine, in which “…there was no bread in all the world.“

Can we stop saying Brazil cancelled their carnival ? They haven't, they've just cut back/stopped celebrations in certain districts. It's the equivalent of T&T cutting back on carnival in Toco while Port of Spain continues as usual.

So in the future it looks like we will have no money and no food...crime will be rampant and our dollar would be worthless...but we will be surrounded by spanish women

Iran trade sanctions lifted today, the man on tv saying they will pelt a next 500000 bpd on d market, current world consumption is 5mmbpd, thats a 10% increase in supply, no increase in demand

I stand corrected. Still nevertheless any cutbacks Brazil makes will benefit T&T even if the proportion is minute.

I'm going to start looking at my bills more attentively from next supermarket visit, because some of these greedy business people use any excuse to raise the price of their goods just because, Vat or not vat, but trini's buy it still.

you really think a large enough percentage of brazil carnival tourists are going to see Trinidad carnival as an alternative between now and then to make a noticeable difference in our carnival revenue?
