Colossal waste of money at this time ! Changing this will mean not only the badges that military and all paramilitary groups wear but all Government stationary, ID cards passports , drivers permits , birth certificates, etc wherever the emblem is used ….. we have much more important issues to deal with such as paving of rural roads badly in need of repair, schools need repairs , hospitals need equipment, the coast guard need to have all their vessels fixed ALL are down we have zero coastal protection , piarco airport air traffic control radar down several years , fire services need PPE and fire tenders , food price inflation is hitting us again (if no one has noticed) …. Gas and oil revenue are down because our production is down ….. total mismanagement of country’s resources it’s the same PNM mantra of the 1980’s where they continue to spend putting this country hopelessly in debt …. Soon we shall see a huge brain drain in T&T and all the money saved in your accounts will be worth nothing ….. I can see these things happening should we continue down this road !
Good day all,, like l not living in trinbago , like here is Uganda or Zimbabwe because the point on the street interview only consisted of people of african decend ,, where are the east indians , Chinese Syrian, Spanish and the rest,, anyway this isn't a race thing but fair is fair,, l say leave our coat of arms alone. I am no lover of pan but that is not the issue .... History is history it cannot be changed it serves only as a lesson,, changing the coat of arms cannot change the past... Oh and the great honourable doctor if he wants to win election should switch the ministry rastaman with the rastawoman from the interview........ Born trini ❤❤❤❤
@RusselRamnaryne-jz6cq No it's coming down and the pan is going up.....the reason no Indian and Syrians are interviewed because those people usually side with the oppressors, they have no fight in them, it's blk folks that fight oppression and pit Trinidad and tobago on the map.
To the person conducting this interview, you need contributions from stable minds,, and in the nation's bars is a no no , if it's anyone's opinion you need then don't forget our good friends locked away at St Anns. Guidance is good 👍
@Mildred-pj6uk what was over priced. All the UNC wanted was unmanned borders. So they can campaign about crime. What else would such a racist party have to offer the electorate.
The three ships represent more than slavery. It represents the Trinity, the Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit. Three pans cannot replace the Godhead. This is another effort to plunge the land in greater Godlessness and crime. If we want to honour our sacred instrument, provide land and funding for a steelpan academy. Fund every pan side with the resources to continue to develope, explore, and innovate for reaching the fullest potential in pan music. Honour our pan musicians and calypsonias.
I believe that the ships should be removed. Christopher Columbus was a coloniser. He disrespected the native people of Trinidad. The Steel Pan on the other hand, was invented in Trinidad the only musical instrument invention of 19 century. it is a gift that keeps on giving. Since it’s concept it has a been played throughout the world, giving joy and pleasure to those who love music.
Back then, everyone was colonisers. The African tribes were butchering each other long before their light skined brethren got into the game of colonising Africa. The African tribes also had slaves among themselves just like other parts of our planet. It was the thing back then. So because 1 group of humans were more successful than another group in doing what everyone was doing is absolute rubbish.
If not now, when? Yes crime needs to be solved but that does not take away from the importance of this change as well. Both are important issues within the national context.
What on top so below... Break the seal, and you break the foundation in which our country Trinidad and Tobago was built. The wheel on top and the Three Crosses that were put have so much of significance. We said God is Trini 3...we sail through so many storms in the pass. You don't see Canada wanting to detach from England..lol... Then he wants to change the symbol of the buttons in the military forces The Six Point Star.
y only one race is being represented in this video?..only one people have a voice? the steelpan does not represent me nor any other race except the decendants of slaves ..it is a product from d slavery era so how is it different from Columbus ships? other nations came here post slavery and built this nation..whu r they not being represented on the coat of arms???
Because we are the ones who represent this country to the fullest.....those other groups culture don't get recognized world wide only the Afro Trinidadians culture.

The rasta woman on point

Rasta woman needs some sense everything within our society has a budgetary allocation. So it's not about more money but proper implementation.

Indians and Syrian never fight oppression, mostly side with oppressors. So why ask them anything
Everything the world knows about Trinidad and tobago come out of Afro trini culture

Who oppressing black people more than Rowley.
Crime unemployment ,putting pan on d coats of arms not important ,
Yes get those slave ships off our coat of arms
Give the Coast Guard them 3 ships to patrol the waters
The UNC took that away
@@jayrose4913 Do you mean the over priced OPV from BAE?
@Mildred-pj6uk what was over priced. All the UNC wanted was unmanned borders. So they can campaign about crime. What else would such a racist party have to offer the electorate.
Jobs an crime ist priority
This is nothing but a political strategy to remain in power. Take care if crime FIRST and then see what happens, yes?
The PNM would win regardless of changing this,the UNC racist party can't win any election.
Why don't you tell the police where and who is going to commit the next crime, dotish yes
Trinidad has had 3 Coat of Arms. Trinidad can't seem to make its mind up on much of anything.
???😅😅😅😅😂😂???
@@jackedup2007 how I feel so sorry for of people like you all people everyone have a phone just putting up a set of B.S and have people following you
Dont chancge the coat of arms. Its history. If it is being changed then what about the American indians, they were here first.
We see who had the smart responses and the not so smart responses
They should put 3 aedes aegypti mosquito instead smfh

O Boy the three pirate ship represent what 😂 0 lord 😅😅😅😅😅 get your facts right😅😅
😅😅😅😅 you sound like a house slave.
Good or bad history is history, it cannot be changed,, it serves as a lesson. Leave the three ships. Leave our Loved coat of arms.
Jesus is Lord...these ppl don't understand that ...by interfering with that could cause problems ....might really put them in slavery now..
Change the country name
That's pnm for yuh
Great idea. Time to rename all the colonial named streets as well!
Why these things make sense,, they are not important.. next thing they come and name your street. Stupid people street,, god have mercy 😢😢
It's time for the people of TT to leave the island because they're colonizers lol
My boyfriend said this video made his day better. Now he wants to try to do something similar👄
Right becomes wrong and wrong becomes right robots in the country open your eyes and ears people where creation is being enjoyed more then the Creator
U no ppl suffering,11 deaths over the weekend,but apparently this more important....
I guess you want a hamper. 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
0:43 as she stated it removes the colonial iconography. this is important for representation and the soul of the nation.

The black slaves brought over to TT are also colonizers, if you're gonna remove the ships don't virtue signal, remove the colonizers too
Back then, everyone was colonisers.
The African tribes were butchering each other long before their light skined brethren got into the game of colonising Africa. The African tribes also had slaves among themselves just like other parts of our planet. It was the thing back then.

Love it. Trinidad makes me proud.
If not now, when? Yes crime needs to be solved but that does not take away from the importance of this change as well. Both are important issues within the national context.
Yet crime has nothing todo with changing the coat of arms.
In essense
