Is Mark Carney working for us or working for JP Morgan?

Scrapping environmental and health protection at the behest of billionaire oil companies is not a good look. Time for a rethink: https://t.co/aOkXQU8qFv #cdnpoli #toxic #extinction

Jets at Billy Bishop:

▶️ would reduce 8,000 new homes planned for 37,000 residents
▶️ could require 86,000 existing homes "to have restrictions on balconies and outdoor space, non-operable windows and mechanical ventilation" because of noise and pollution

@MarkJCarney Protect the Toronto waterfront from needless airport expansion. You need to weigh in on this issue now.

We have to fight to save our waterfront and Toronto Island from Ford! Look at what Ford expropriated! Sign our petition at https://t.co/gtDDnus7aN! #topoli #onpoli #cdnpoli

[NoJetsTO @NoJetsTO]

Save Toronto Island! Premier Ford has expropriated the entire Toronto island for his jet scheme. Sign our petition and tell your elected rep to abandon this terrible plan! https://t.co/H6z0lItDG8 #topoli #onpoli #cdnpoli

With Bill 110 getting Royal Assent, we will be keeping an eye on any fencing/bulldozing at Little Norway Park and Toronto Island. Experience tells us Premier Ford is a very poor park steward! The Feds could stop this madness by saying No to Jets! #topoli #onpoli #cdnpoli

[NoJetsTO @NoJetsTO]

We have a message for politicians taking marching orders from JP Morgan instead of listening to the people: Hands off our waterfront! #topoli #onpoli #cdnpoli

[NoJetsTO @NoJetsTO]

She’s right. #onpoli #cdnpoli

You are impacting housing plans for 100,000 housing units right now by not saying no to jets. Say no to jets right now, Prime Minister Carney!! https://t.co/3Cv28KdSCF #cdnpoli #topoli

Grassroots opposition to JP Morgan’s attack on our waterfront is growing! This is our waterfront, not for sale to the USA! #topoli #onpoli #cdnpoli

[NoJetsTO @NoJetsTO]

In which longtime Liberal Minister Greg Sorbara encourages Toronto MPs to find their voice and stand up for our waterfront! And @juliedabrusin, you are making Sorbara depressed by not responding to his email. Dignify him with a response please.

This line of argument that the city isn’t able to manage the airport is bunk. The city has a 43 year track record of effective airport management, and handled the previous jet debate and the Runway End Safety Area mandate very well. #topoli #onpoli #cdnpoli

[Mark Evans @markevans]

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 $$$$

If Liberal MPs let Doug Ford destroy our waterfront, the people of Toronto will not forgive you.

Why it's easy for Toronto MPs to shut down the jet port nightmare in the next week......https://t.co/N8mMShYf7u #NoJetsTO #CdnPoli #TOPoli

[NoJetsTO @NoJetsTO]

Liberal MPs, be more like your colleague Liberal MP Judy Sgro, who displays a solid understanding of the issues at hand when it comes to expanding a tightly constrained airport on our downtown waterfront! https://t.co/antsyh2RNC #topoli #cdnpoli
