I find it interesting that you now sing this tune when a few months ago you were screaming that Jackass Granger was going to kill off Indians.
You do know that Rose Hall and Skeldon will be like Linden and Kwakwani with massive unemployment. Now my idea would be more humane and at least give these ex sugar workers an opportunity to do something else if they so wish.
And with Guyana and CARICOM at large having a huge food import bill I really don't see where the risk is. Especially as increasing morbidity due to obesity is getting more governments to urge their populations to eat better.
I don't know if you know this but food and agri industrial products are among the USA's largest exports. Ditto for Canada.
