Santo Domingo.- Former president Leonel Fernandez will be recognized by the Canadian Council of the Americas with the Statesman of the Year Award in Toronto.

The Canadian organization is a think tank which addresses political and economic issues, especially trade and investment.

The distinction for Fernandez, to take place during its annual gala September 20 in Toronto, is the result of his role as mediator in conflicts between Latin American countries and in strengthening democracy in the region.

The Canadian Council said the ex President more than deserves the award, based on his efforts in foreign policy.

" based on his efforts in foreign policy."

And his domestic policies? All good and well to make nice speechs OS, while at home the country unraveles into mounting debt and the open corruption from his over payed pigs in his government becomes clearer every day. ...

Siempre lo hemos dicho, Dr. Leonel A. Fernandez ha sido el mejor Presidente en la historia de la Rep. Dominicana.

Si o no? Hablar ahora o callar para siempre!

Por que? Porque el Dr. Leonel A. Fernandez rescato al país del abismo económico que el PPH lo metió durante el 2000-2004.

Y lo que logro Leonel ya nos están dando frutos; proyectos que ya están y van a generar empleos y riqueza, que a la vez van a generar recursos para el Estado con los impuestos pagados, cuales serán los fondos para apoyar la educación, la salud, y demás programas sociales. Así se progresa!

Autovía del Coral ya the sus frutos.

Zay,
Everything you mention that lee-flea has done only produced debt for the republic and wealth for himself and that rat fink bautista. I'm sure you noticed that ever pet project of your supreme being has not produce profit for the republic, only something that is emotionally difficult to bear like that useless metro that the entire island will have to pay back which only brings service to 5% of the population or like the initial loan from the IMF that was slated to pay-off an electric bill of 500million USD 3yrs ago that never made it to the table. If you and the other worshipers truly believe leonel was thinking about the country the last 7yrs, then I want to sublet the Midtown Tunnel to you and your homeboyzz.

Did I get this right? This is an award for telling other countries how to run their economies, while plunging his own deeper and deeper in debt, while lining his own pockets? Yes, I can see other corrupt leaders wanting to know, from such a world authority, how to set up their own Kleptocracy!

Pfft.... Que frio?????

That's right. We all live in igloos and commute to work on our skidoo's. Lean way back and pull your head out.

Puhleeeeze.

For the rest of you,

I have to agree that this award really makes one do a major double take. Now I have to go to their website and find out what the motivation is. Sheeesh.... if I'd known there was going to be homework I'd have stayed in bed. LOL.

National EMERGENCY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anybody has a SUV they are not using so they can lend it to Danilo’s Chief of Security?

Lie-onel’s fomer head of security General Medina y Medina refuses to return to the Dominican State a Mercedes Benz and Yipeta (SUV) that belongs to the DOMINICAN PEOPLE that were assigned to him when he was Guarding his Majesty Lie-onel Fernandez!

That this is even is an issue and even worse makes it to the press shows how weak Saint Danilo is and how little respect Lie-onel’s “Courtesans” have for him!

“Medina and Medina does not want to deliver vehicles”

“General Medina and Medina refuses to hand over State vehicles “

“Last week an official from the National Palace had to lend a Yipeta to General Cáceres Silvestre, while the two vehicles are recovered.”

The new Security Chief of the Presidency, General Adams B. Cáceres Silvestre has tried to recover vehicles in the possession of the also General Medina and Medina, but, as he has been reported, he refuses to hand them over.

How long will Saint Danilo allow Lie-onel Fernandez and his boys to Stick the Middle Finger in his Face?

Read the rest at:

Medina y Medina no quiere entregar vehiculos

General Medina y Medina se niega a entregar vehículos estatales

La pasada semana un funcionario del Palacio Nacional le prestó una yipeta al generar Cáceres Silvestre, mientras son recuperados los dos vehículos.

PS

"The United States State Department had stripped the American Visa from Major General Hector Medina and Medina and other three high ranking military of the former President Leonel Fernandez entourage, which has not been denied or confirmed by the American Embassy in the country."

Spimx:

Never mind the words our antarctic cousin. If anyone knows about "shovelling it" it would certainly be a penguin rancher. The cold there has undoubtedly numbed his sensibilities. He is clearly mixed up because "Goober" is from Carolina. LOL. He clearly has no idea that 40C is a very common occurance here in the summer.

Have pity on his chilled soul. Lets send him some of that Tims coffee he's pining for to warm him up.

Okay Dreamie,,,, I'm in the drive-thru.... how do you take your java? LOL.
