Ottawa is talking a lot about nation-building these days....

Here's a good place to start: Municipal climate programs help lower energy bills, improve efficiency and build healthier communities.

Speaking at the CANSEC defence industry conference in Ottawa, Ford said the plan could create 43,000 jobs, add $6 billion to Ontario's economy and generate more than $400 million in annual provincial tax revenue by 2035.

This whole Billy Bishop expansion is being driven by an American bank that won't even disclose its role in the lobbying campaign. Doug Ford is destroying Toronto's waterfront to help out American bankers at our expense.

🚨 Breaking 🚨

JP Morgan hired lobbyists to lobby the Ford Conservatives & federal Liberals to expand Billy Bishop... and they may have broken the rules governing lobbyists.

So basically the island airport is run by 3 JP Morgan executives in a trenchcoat; at least we know now who benefits, and it isn’t Canadians. An American company is getting all the access they need to all levels of government while Torontonians are shut out! #cdnpoli #topoli

[NoJetsTO @NoJetsTO]

Shame on this government for passing this bill! It falls to the Federal government to say no to jets and save our waterfront. Make sure to let your MP know what you think at https://t.co/gtDDnus7aN! #topoli #onpoli #cdnpoli

The cost to expand Billy Bishop Airport has now ballooned to $5 billion—and the math isn't mathing.

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

This is the new city threatened by the proposed massive expansion and jetification of Toronto Island Airport. Ask your federal MP and @MarkJCarney to not reverse the ban on jets. #cdnpoli #TOpoli #SaveourWaterfront

@CBCNews reporting about opposition to data centres should include the amount of energy and water they use especially in drought sensitive locations.
