and they are helping.......i believe when it comes to giving more money there will be a discussion to figure out how everybody will benefit without T&T resources getting sucked dry by handouts without any replenishment...........oil and gas will not be forever

i don't know. there was also flooding in st lucia a few months ago. i dont know if other countries aided. why are we always comparing? i've noticed that ppl (not you specifically b/c i dont know) when it's convenient for them to but when things are serious, there is nothing to be said by those same ppl.

What an IDIOTIC QUESTION!

What KIND of HELP DO YOU PROPOSE that Trinidad needed from St. Lucia in relation to the flooding?

The more INTELLIGENT QUESTION WOULD HAVE BEEN; DID THE KAMLA WOMAN REACH OUT TO THE GOVERNMENT OF ST. LUCIA FOR ASSISTANCE.... FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE AREA OF MAN POWER?

There are people in Trinidad who for years are against this type of handing out not because they selfish and don't want to help their neighbor... but because they live in piss poor conditions, terrible roads to their houses, no running water, not enough police enforcement in their neighborhoods, and etc. They see their tax money going across the ocean on a plane too often instead of back into their neighborhoods. And I think that's very fair. TNT doesn't really need or ask for help from outside... but they NEED it from their own government. And if Kamla is trying to reverse that mentality then props to her because Manning certainly was a glad man and playin year round Santa.

This is not about you..The general sentiment in time of tragedy is 'T&T must help"..and we banking...

if you didnt know now your updated

Boss me nah kno why y'all ah gwan with this banking, Atm and financial stuff, giving doesnt always means money, you can give food, water or medical supplies. The fact is, if TNT wants to give or not to give no one can tell them what to do. But remember all the stuff the government going on with is going to give them a BLACK EYE and Caricom members are not going to forget it.

You cant think of any type of help one country can give to another country during flooding because you lack the vision and understanding ...similar to the St Vincent PM who is crying out to Kamla now

dont know if you saw this edited clip posted by the PNM Group on facebook..........but im satisfied with what she said

it's funny b/c i've noticed the opposite since getting on imix. i saw an article about miss world st lucia in a trini magazine where these ppl were just bad talking the girl and then the whole discussion turned into which place was better than the other. that had NOTHING to do with anything. i don't understand why there is such animosity. i see a lot of "if it wasn't for tnt this place would be nothing. is that really true? b/c if it is it's pretty damn insulting. i think that in an emergency, anyone that can help should do so and willingly. the way the PM came off just seemed kind of insensitive due to the fact that this is an emergency.

This is a serious matter. The PM will need an official letter/information that confirms the extent of the damage. This way she can assess the amount of aid necessary. What is she supposed to rely on? The conflicting news reports?

Thankfully. Now I'm waiting to see the measures taken.

All of those things cost money. And if you pay attention, T&T is already sending containers of those items!

Thank you. This is the issue right here. Had the governments of the past done better by the citizens, T&T would be in a much better position to help. The economy is slowing down, so this government must be careful with funds. All in all, I'm glad that containers are already being sent. As far as rebuilding homes, I hope that at least some can be rebuilt for free. Maybe that's where individual citizens can step in. But if this cannot be done, it simply cannot. It's a sad situation.
