Are you concerned about the proposed jet expansion at the Toronto Island Airport and the devastating impact it could have on Toronto's waterfront, residents and the environment?

👉 This free webinar is a must-attend: https://t.co/LjXkRaygZq

Every event like this puts pressure on Toronto Liberal Mo’s to break with Ford and oppose jets on the waterfront. Please attend and please let others know.

[Mike Schreiner @MikeSchreiner]

So Doug Ford is pushing through an airport expansion that the Port Authority may never be able to pay for.

This project makes no sense and Doug Ford knows it.

And in Ontario...a garage is more important than our children's health and school

Ford wants jets over our waterfront. But the federal government can say no. We’re asking MP Danielle Martin to host a town hall for #UniversityRosedale residents to hear our concerns. 🚫✈️ Add your name to the petition & say NO to jets 👉 https://t.co/SZIS0sdilN #topoli #onpoli

I have completed the survey and I am extremely skeptical of the Carney government's intentions. The questions are largely shaped around "how can we make you happy with paving the lake?", not "should we pave the lake at all?"

Happening now outside TDSB headquarters: parents speak out against expected cuts to staff, programs & services next year.

“Ford has money for a private jet, a luxury spa, a highway mega project & pay raises for himself and his fellow MPPs. It’s time for this government to choose public education over friends.”

The board has justified the cuts, explaining 5,000 fewer students are expected to enrol next year.

“This is too big and too permanent a decision to be left to an eight-minute survey. The people of this city have a right to be genuinely heard.” https://t.co/e7Vc7ej1C9.

IMPORTANT ARTICLE. Ford’s waterfront jet plans will make Toronto gridlock far worse. Many jet supporters ignore this. Federal consultation is not based on response to a detailed plan and is biased. Use it to send a simple NO message. The battle continues.

We don't need a survey to know that Toronto residents are not going to allow federal destruction of the Toronto Islands, the waterfront, air and water quality, property values and new housing: https://t.co/JCwSY1Uxtw #NoJetsTO #Cdnpoli

Look at all the Toronto neighbours who joined us on Parliament Hill to call on Prime Minister Mark Carney to shut down the Billy Bishop Airport expansion proposal!

[Toronto Star @TorontoStar]

28 prominent Torontonians, including Margaret Atwood, David Mirvish and Hayley Wickenheiser, signed a letter demanding the federal government halt any changes to #BillyBishop airport until the city's residents are properly consulted.

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.

[Richard Warnica @richardwarnica]

Doug Ford cut Toronto out of the island airport debate. There’s no reason Mark Carney’s Liberals have to go along https://t.co/ZOT3XAcaZ0

[Gil Meslin @g_meslin]

Here is the link to participate in the federal public consultation on the future of Billy Bishop airport. There is an online survey, and an e-mail address for long-form comments. Consultation period runs to July 24th.

And every single one of them will still collect a great big fat paycheque every 2 weeks courtesy of the Ontario taxpayers to do absolutely nothing for Ontario for 5 months. Ford and his useless Clown Party need to go.

@Yvan_Baker #Etobicoke Centre wants you to represent constituents and stop the Billy Bishop Airport expansion and destruction of #Toronto’s waterfront. #cdnpoli #onpoli #topoli

Dear @MarkJCarney the decision has already been made by the people of Toronto and Ontario! NO. If you still expand this airport for jets and collude with Ford and American investors, your government is toast. The answer is a hard NO! Pearson is expanding. Expand the UP Express!
