Yes, in a nutshell.
Doug passed all this legislation to end municipal Democrats before the most recent snap election in 2025.
We outline it here, in plain language. No paywall, free to read.
Ford already appointed a chair in York, a former chief pig.

The Toronto Port Authority has shared its early plans for the $5 billion expansion of Billy Bishop airport with provincial & federal officials, but is withholding this information from Mayor Olivia Chow and the public https://t.co/6Tz3OSaOHs #onpoli#cdnpoli#TOpoli
“We suspect significant amounts of communication have already happened between federal/provincial govts, as well as 3rd parties regarding the airport expansion & what's happening now is 'window dressing' to make it look if there's actual real consultation & engagement happening."
If you think the expansion of Billy Bishop Airport is a bad idea, fill out this survey to let @MarkJCarney know.
That said, the questions appear to be structured to support expansion.

@fordnation@SenKevinCramer Last time I checked, North Dakota didn’t border Ontario and you weren’t the Prime Minister of Canada. Do your fucking job for once.
The Ford government confirmed we won’t be back at Queen’s Park for 102 days.
While I’m excited to spend the summer in Nepean meeting with residents, businesses, and community groups, Ontarians deserve a government that’s willing to show up and do its job.
After calling a snap election to “Protect Ontario,” it’s hard to understand why this government is taking 5 months off while families continue to struggle with the cost of living, health care, and housing. #onpoli
The Toronto Port Authority is holding their AGM on June 11th. I read their Financial Statements - and they raise big red flags about their hasty support of Doug Ford’s plan to bring jets to Billy Bishop Airport:
1) Ridership is down at Billy Bishop
2) Billy Bishop is relying on higher operating fees to prop up revenue
3) Based on current revenue, they’d have to forego any profit for between 80-300 years to pay for the expansion
4) Based on their 2017 Environmental Assessment, the decision was made against introducing jets, and those conditions have gotten worse - not better
Here’s my letter to the Toronto Port Authority. The public deserves answers to the following questions:
The level of ignorance here is beyond belief... Ford is at a photo op announcing how he is spending $1B on a new Science Centre instead of $30M in repairs on the current one, and then says he "prides himself" on saving money???
