This is how broken the democratic process in Canada is. A mega bank based in America hired an army of ex-Liberals, Conservatives and NDPers and bolted the issue of Billy Bishop expansion to the top of the priority list for Ford and Carney.
No one voted for it. No one wanted it. No one campaigned on it. Torontonians are massively against it.
We are under economic warfare. Ontario govt wiped out OSAP for students. Yet govts think it wise to spend their resources on an issue no one wanted except one mega US bank.
This is the key danger of privatization. These foreign equity banks are massive, comparable to govts and have ability to bribe and buy out govts. JP Morgan just did it.
@briketysplit My kids school had an active shooter lockdown so I ran up the street & asked a cop ‘what’s the situation’? With his thumbs in his vest he sighs & says ‘with’? To which I reply: don’t give me that shit my kid is inside!!! They’re fucking pricks with bad fucking attitudes.
NEW: From NDP Leader Avi Lewis about Billy Bishop airport:
“The choice facing the Prime Minister is clear. Premier Ford is in the middle of a land grab and the federal government has both the power and the responsibility to stop this irresponsible and anti-democratic move.”
@MarkJCarney Deny the Toronto Island airport land grab and I’ll vote for Julie D. Don’t? And we’ll make it our business to turf Julie. close riding. choose wisely
@GradyTripp00@OntLiberal I don’t know if I like the guy all that much but I’d take out a member membership and vote for him as leader if only to spite the lieberal establishment whose purposeful attacks on the NDP and incompetence since, delivered us Duuuhhhhgie and the catastrophe hes wrought
