Things eh going good AT ALL. But ah read ah article in the GUARDIAN yesterday which does not speak to the CARNIVAL specifically and does not use the term "EXPATS" specifically ... but if you read the article and inject the MUSIC INDUSTRY (PAN AND SOCA) into the argument -- you will see the NEED for CULTURE LOVERS (EXPAT CULTURE LOVERS) to move beyond the OLE TALK and start turning to ACTION PLANS ... if allyuh so concerned about allyuh country and CULTURE.

Revisiting diaspora policy and the brain drain
I wrote about the need for a Diaspora Policy for Trinidad and Tobago. With the impending arrival of hundreds of overseas nationals for Carnival it is as good a time as any to revisit what ought to be an imperative for our national development.

All interest groups, the Government, the Diaspora itself and private citizens here in T&T have a responsibility to address these related issues.
EVERYBODY HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY ... especially THE PEOPLE who always talking about HOW MUCH THEY LOVE THE PAN.
And, furthermore, it is not a BRAIN DRAIN issue it is a BRAIN RETURNS issue!!!
There is nothing wrong with Expats making comments about what goes on in the country they came from, and because they have an interest don't mean that they are willing to return.
