Torontonians have made it unequivocally clear that we don't want Billy Bishop expanded.
The protests, petitions, and tens of thousands of public posts are our answer and that should be the end, because we all know this is just another shady Ford scheme like the Ontario Place Spa.
"They admitted that they haven't even produced any proposal... Torontonians should be approaching this survey and the entire process ... as their opportunity to tell the federally controlled Port Authority...not to PROPOSE a jet runway at all." https://t.co/Nj6DH2LQti
We should have been going to the polls a week ago.
Now you know why Ford changed the laws on fixed date elections. When a law doesn’t work for him he changes it.
This is who he is, who he has been - no “aw shucks, I made a mistake” is going to fix our province

✊🏻 NO JETS T.O.!
Federal New Democrats stand with the @OntarioNDP and the people of Toronto against Doug Ford’s destructive Billy Bishop scheme.
The Prime Minister has the power to shut this down once and for all. Protect Toronto’s waterfront, reject Ford’s Wall Street giveaway!
my god. 3500 parking spots on the waterfront. goodbye peace. goodbye greenspace. goodbye wildlife. goodbye clean water. hello hellish pollution and traffic. what does the premier have against the lake?! seriously.
A province where ER rooms have wait times in excess of 24 hours, OSAP loans to college students been slashed and transferred to shady private career colleges, where teachers being laid off, schools being closed, where wait times for long term care homes is a decade long, our premier is building a Garage Mahal worth $198 Million for a private company (which was bankrupt) whose 99 year lease is secret.
Welcome to the Canada's conservative model of governance.
$200 million for a parking garage.
$200 million for a PARKING garage.
$200 million for a PARKING garage?
$200 million for a PARKING GARAGE?!? 🤯
What are we even doing here, people?
I am a signatory to this letter.
Open, fully informed and unbiased public hearings are required, supported by due diligence and meaningful analysis.
The public cannot be expected to provide informed feedback when neither the proposal nor its impacts have been properly presented.
Forgive us for being suspicious, but all we have so far is a process the Province deliberately rushed into place to cut Torontonians out, and a federal consultation process built around a survey that reflects neither the complexity of the issue nor the information needed to properly evaluate it.
Request launched with federal Lobbying Commissioner for investigation into undisclosed lobbying by JP Morgan bank to get Carney’s approval for massively expanded Toronto island airport https://t.co/HlaNUbANjY
He's saved many Ontario radio stations by flooding their airwaves with blatantly political "Government of Ontario" ads. So we get tunes with beers in the park.
What these images really demonstrate is that there shouldn't be an airport on our waterfront at all. We have made and are making massive billions of dollars investments across the area, all of which will be heavily compromised or flat out obviated by an expanded Billy Bishop
Teachers unions in Ontario want to bargain early so that there will be no disruption in the fall. The government won’t because then they can’t vilify teachers and say they are holding students and parents hostage. I hope it doesn’t work this time.. #OnEd#OnPoli#FordoftheLies
After Ontarians watched a flora & fauna slaughterfest at Ontario Place, Ford described Ontario Place Protectors constitutional challenge in the Supreme Court as “a bunch of crazy lefties that want to protect one tree, or two trees, or three birds.”
As timid Liberal MPs keep saying, we haven’t seen a full plan for Billy Bishop. But we know what an airport serving 10 million passengers a year looks like. Transport Canada’s “scant” survey should’ve made this clear, says @richardwarnica https://t.co/qcB7yxBf0W #onpoli#cdnpoli
Still waiting for my MPP @lesliechurch to come clean on the expansion of Billy Bishop Airport. Why so quiet?
There's so much at stake, yet few Liberal MPs will say anything.
The cost of living is already out of control. Corporations don’t need another way to rip off Canadians at the checkout.
The federal government needs to do the right thing and ban surveillance pricing before it drives up prices even more.
