It was collective power that made this issue impossible for the Carney government to ignore.
When we organize, we win!
No jets at Billy Bishop.

Thank you to every single person who filled out the survey, signed a petition, and showed up. This victory belongs to all of you. When people stand together, we win.
And thank you to MPPs Chris Glover, Kristyn Wong-Tam and Alexa Gilmour, who fought this from day one.
I want to thank the Prime Minister and the Minister of Transportation for listening to the people of Toronto.
Thank you to everyone who spoke out, shared your voice, and stood up for our community. Your relentless advocacy has made a difference.
