Good afternoon to all our Facebook friends and to our beautiful Mother of Valleys and Volcanoes. Today, we need to talk about NO SHAME Fontaine and the United Workers Party and their new campaign slogans.
Once again looking at their flyer below, we see NO SHAME Fontaine trying to repackage ideas that did not originate with them. Now they say, “Dominica needs a trained ECONOMIST to bring us economic PROSPERITY.” Interesting. Very interesting.
Does that word – prosperity – sound familiar? It should. Because long before their latest slogan appeared in their campaign, the Dominica Reform Party was speaking about “prosperity” in clear, consistent terms. Prosperity not just as a buzzword, but as a structured vision for national development – jobs, investment, responsible governance, and sustainable growth. Now suddenly, the same language is being recycled. The same themes. The same framing. The difference? We created it, NO SHAME Fontaine stole it!
If you truly believe in “prosperity,” you don’t just say the word – you explain how it will actually happen. You lay out a clear plan for creating jobs, supporting small businesses, managing the country’s money, improving education, and growing the economy in different areas. Prosperity is not something you slap into a slogan and hope people forget who has been talking about it seriously and consistently. Ideas matter. Vision matters. Originality matters. And the people of Dominica are intelligent enough to recognize when something is genuine – and when it is borrowed. Prosperity is not a word you steal for a campaign season. It is a commitment you build over years of policy work and public engagement. Let us have a serious conversation about that.
NO SHAME Fontaine may be one of the most unoriginal figures to enter our political landscape. Now we are being told that he is the one who will bring “economic prosperity” to Dominica. Fine. That is a big claim. So let us examine it seriously.
How is he actually going to bring economic prosperity to Dominica and our people? When you look at his website, there’s no clear plan. You don’t see a step-by-step strategy for the economy, no details on how he’ll create jobs, help small businesses, attract investors, or set goals we can measure. If you are asking the country to believe that a “trained economist” is the solution, then the public deserves more than a slogan. They deserve data. They deserve policy details. They deserve accountability.
Economic prosperity is not achieved by inserting impressive titles into campaign messaging. It is achieved through disciplined planning, transparent governance, diversified industry development, agricultural modernization, tourism expansion, digital innovation, and responsible public finance management. If those details exist, show them. Because Dominicans are not looking for recycled words. They are looking for real solutions.
So perhaps NO SHAME Fontaine’s next bullet point will explain it all? “Create jobs.”
Okay. Sounds good. Everybody wants jobs. But how? What kind of jobs? Where are they coming from? Who is going to hire our people? Does his website explain this? Again NO.
So perhaps maybe the next bullet point will explain it? “Increase investment.”
Great, so increase investment from whom? Doing what? In which sector? Tourism? Agriculture? Small businesses? Technology? Again… no explanation. Just words.
It is easy to say “create jobs” and “increase investment.” Every politician says that. The real question is: what is the actual plan? If you are calling yourself the man who will bring “economic prosperity,” then show the steps. Break it down so ordinary people can understand it. Don’t just give us big words. Give us real answers.
So hopefully his last bullet point will explain it all for us. “Provide sound advice to the ECCB.” Okay… great. That sounds important. But once again, we are left only to assume what that means.
Let me be clear: I am 100% sure that NO SHAME Fontaine does not work for the ECCB. They have their own economists – trained professionals – who they consult when they need advice. I don’t recall seeing any job offers being handed to NO SHAME Fontaine. So why exactly does he think the ECCB cares about his opinion?
Words on a campaign flyer are cheap. The people of Dominica deserve to know what he has actually done, what experience he has, and what qualifications he brings to the table. Otherwise, it’s just another claim without proof.
NO SHAME Fontaine likes to exaggerate and talk like a hero, and this is just another example – just like his Cayman Islands fairytale. When you actually check the facts, there is nothing there: no proof, no clear plan, and no results. It’s just big talk and fancy words meant to sound impressive, but in the end, it’s empty and misleading.
Following the February 7, 2017 protest that later turned violent, NO SHAME Fontaine and other opposition figures were reportedly charged in connection with incitement and obstruction-related matters. Around that period, NO SHAME Fontaine left Dominica and spent several years in South Sudan, where he worked as an Economic and International Policy Adviser and promoted his so-called “10 Pillar Plan.”
His prolonged absence and refusal to return to Dominica, despite the unresolved legal matters, drew public attention, and resulted in a bench warrant being issued for his return. When he eventually came back to Dominica, he was arrested, and the matter has remained part of the public and legal discussion since then.
Then he tried to repurpose it in Bangladesh – and they wanted nothing to do with him. That says a lot.
And now he’s back, trying to sell the same failed ideas here in Dominica. He even steals my work and passes it off as his own. NO SHAME Fontaine – your ideas are not original, and your track record proves it.
At the bottom of NO SHAME Fontaine’s flyer, he says: “We do not need a medical doctor or someone with no training in Finance.” This statement is very interesting — and revealing – for a number of reasons.
First, it raises the question: Is the Dominica Labour Party really preparing to replace Roosevelt Skerrit, the so-called fake “Dr. Skerrit,” as party leader? Is there really a plan for Skerrit to step down and hand power over to someone else – possibly a real medical doctor – within the party? Fontaine’s comment seems to hint at exactly that.
If true, it shows how much pressure the Dominica Reform Party have been putting on the Dominica Labour Party and indeed the Top 1% elites. For months, we have been calling out the false use of titles like “Dr.” to project superiority over our people. Roosevelt Skerrit and NO SHAME Fontaine have both tried to use prestige, education claims, and media appearances to distract from their failures – and we have been exposing it for the past ten months.
Now, it appears that the Dominica Reform Party’s efforts are forcing the hand of the Dominica Labour Party. By NO SHAME Fontaine suggesting that a real medical doctor might step in to lead the Dominica Labour Party, the party seems to be trying to distance itself from the false “Dr” claims and restore credibility in the eyes of the public. They are acknowledging, in effect, that the fake “Dr.” label they have relied on for decades will no longer shield them from the Dominica Reform Party scrutiny.
Second, NO SHAME Fontaine’s comment reveals just how desperate Roosevelt Skerrit is to resign before the election and save face for his party. At this point, it’s no longer a question of IF he will step down – it’s WHEN?
The Dominica Labour Party thinks they can use this moment to showcase a “fresh face,” a so-called credible professional who can’t be questioned the way we’ve challenged Roosevelt Skerrit and NO SHAME Fontaine. It’s clear this is nothing more than obvious damage control, and the upcoming resignation only confirms it.
What this reveals is significant: the Dominica Reform Party has clearly caught the attention of Roosevelt Skerrit and his party. Our consistent pressure, exposing fake titles, failed plans, and mismanagement, has forced them to consider drastic measures just to protect their party’s reputation.
Here’s the important part: if a small party like the Dominica Reform Party can make this kind of impact — forcing party leaders to resign, exposing lies, and even having my ideas stolen — imagine the power we could have if we all united under the Dominica Reform Party banner and Direct Democracy. Real accountability, transparency, and collective decision-making would shift the balance of power back to the people.
Make no mistake — when Roosevelt Skerrit resigns before the election, it will be because of the Dominica Reform Party. He has been campaigning for 10 months, and yet, throughout that time, no one else dared to challenge him. NO SHAME, Fontaine? Silent. Joshua Francis? Silent. Other so-called leaders? All talk, no facts, no action, no pressure, just quiet complicity while the people suffered under his failed policies.
The Dominica Reform Party is the only party that consistently spoke truth to power. We exposed the failures, highlighted lies and the broken promises, and held him accountable publicly – fact by fact, policy by policy. The heat, the scrutiny, and the unrelenting truth we brought forward left him no room to continue unchallenged. WHEN he steps down, there will be no question: it is our unwavering pressure, and ours alone, that forced it.
The message is clear: the Dominica Reform Party is putting the heat on the elites, and they are feeling it. Accountability works. Transparency works. And when our people unite under Direct Democracy, real change will be unavoidable – even for entrenched political leaders like Roosevelt Skerrit.
Now, let’s talk about NO SHAME Fontaine’s claim of “no training in Finance.”
This is rich, coming from a man who is a proven failure in finance. The same economist who ran the 10 Pillar Plan that failed abroad, the same man who wants to halt the International Airport, the very airport that could have brought jobs to Dominica and put prosperity in our people’s pockets.
If you haven’t figured it out yet, let me make it crystal clear: NO SHAME, Fontaine is a narcissist. He is a careless, self-serving, so-called trained economist that no one wants. He only came home because he could not find work abroad. And now, he runs as the leader of the UWP not to help Dominica, not to create opportunity, but because there is no work for him here – just like tens of thousands of other Dominicans who struggle to find work. But his being the leader of the UWP is not about service; it is about getting a paycheck and staying relevant.
If it is not obvious? Just look at that pathetic turnout in Grand Fond. People are not buying into his propaganda, just like they are questioning Roosevelt Skerrit and his rumoured stepping aside. The people are done with empty words and fake prestige from these elites who have no idea what struggling is.
NO SHAME Fontaine, Roosevelt Skerrit, Joshua Francis, and Bernard Hurtault live in a world of comfort and privilege, far above the struggles of everyday Dominicans. They sit in their high towers, pretending to understand the challenges of paying bills, putting food on the table, and making ends meet – but they don’t.
They don’t worry about rent, groceries, or the crushing pressures most people face every day. Their “relatable” stories are lies, crafted from a life of ease they can never truly know. Those days are over. Dominica will no longer accept elites pretending to care while living lives untouched by real struggle.
Dominicans don’t need leaders who live in comfort, shielded from the struggles of everyday life, and then stand on a podium pretending they understand what it’s like to struggle to pay bills, put food on the table, or worry about their children’s future.
That is the Dominica Reform Party. We do not sit in towers. We do not live lives of ease while pretending to understand the struggles of ordinary people. We live the same life, see the same problems, and fight for real solutions. Leadership finally means real people, real struggles, real action. Leadership finally means the people come first. The era of elites pretending to care is over, and the Dominica Reform Party is here to make sure everyone knows it.
