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.

The root of the Billy Bishop Airport expansion plan is that Nieuport Aviation Infrastructure Partners (aka JP Morgan) wildly overpaid Porter ($750M) in 2015.
Without an expansion, Nieuport likely has no way to recoup its investment.
It's about the $$$$

"I thought that the 23 Liberal MPs from the city of Toronto would stand up and say, 'This is not going to happen.' I can’t tell you my level of disappointment," Greg Sorbara, former Liberal Cabinet Minister.

Nov. 2015: "The federal @liberal_party won’t change a decision that effectively halts an expansion of the island airport in downtown Toronto with the new transport minister calling it a 'quality of life issue' for the city’s residents."

@MarkJCarney and his Toronto MPs have a chance right now to put five new Board members on the Toronto Port Authority and put an end to the jet port nightmare proposal. #TOpoli#cdnpoli#NoJetsTO https://t.co/sENnn6ayEs…

JP Morgan needs a pump and dump strategy for unloading the airport and we need to know if @MarkJCarney and Toronto MPs are going to stop this insane scheme. #TOPoli#Cdnpoli
This partnership with Elyes Mkacher moves me deeply — as he shows us how to transform industrial agriculture in the Mediterranean with permaculture design. Read and share with anyone who loves olive trees!

This is about a thousand more people than died in the attack on the World Trade Centre in 2001, yet hardly a mention in news bulletins. Extreme heat is becoming so frequent to the point where it’s no longer noteworthy, while some say we should slow down on emissions reductions…
No matter where you stand on Billy Bishop airport expansion, the apparent fact that lobbyists for secretive private capital have been granted far more influence over local decision-making than the voters of Toronto should scare the bejeezus out of you. https://t.co/DfalMkRJAG
You are right, that’s exactly what needs to be done. And I spent my morning walk this morning, thinking about how to do it. But I came home completely mentally exhausted with the recognition that I already have multiple jobs, all my outreach is unsupported and unpaid, and at this point, I’m literally running on fumes. And that’s the same situation for every other climate scientist I know who’d like to do this. We have no comms team, no resources, no assistance, and frankly no time, either. So honestly – what would you suggest?
"Toronto Island is far more than a recreational destination. It's one of the most ecologically significant natural areas in GTA. It provides critical habitat for 🦅🪺, 🦋, 🐍, wildflowers, dunes, wetlands & 🌳🌲. These habitats deserve strong protection."

The list of 23 Liberal MPs who represent Toronto. "Silence is not leadership. It's a quiet sell-out."
Tell your MP how you feel about the expansion of Billy Bishop airport & consider rallying at their constituency office.

The cool. clear waters of Duffins Creek will only stay that way if your federal government MP keeps their promise to add the former Pickering Airport lands to Rouge National Urban Park. ##stopsprawl#cdnpoli
