The people have also spoken on this both through the Federal survey on island airport expansion, and through a Pearson expansion survey, and the people say to focus on Pearson’s expansion plans! sandfordborins.substack.com/… #topoli #onpoli #cdnpoli
NEW: Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s office has responded to Prime Minister Carney’s plans to open major airports to privatization — pitching downtown Billy Bishop airport (which the feds have said they would not expand for now) as the ‘perfect’ project. Full statement: #onpoli

Shovel ready? Oh, he means shovel the bullshite ready, and we know that's true. #waterfront #toronto @NoJetsTO @jpmorgan #LiberalLapDogs #journalists
On the privatization of Canadian airports, Premier Ford says he’s all for it, especially when it comes to Billy Bishop.
“I think it's fabulous. You know, I have to give credit where credit's due. The PM is on fire…. He's privatizing airports, that should have been done years ago, but there's one airport that has to be privatized, and that's Billy Bishop. It's shovel ready.”

The island airport expansion is the farthest thing from shovel ready; there’s no study, no business case, just vapour and vibes! Pearson has an actual developed expansion plan that could be accelerated with funding. #topoli #onpoli #cdnpoli

It’s true. People who live in the city know it’s true. I know it’s true.
Unfortunately provincial politicians from Brampton who only view and understand the city through a windshield are currently having an outsized impact on our future (tearing up Ontario Place, removing our well used bike lanes, taking away planning authority). We fought against their ill-conceived Billy Bishop expansion (that can only be explained as designed to make New York bankers happy) and we won. But we are still losing the future on other fronts.
Everyone who loves this city and wants it to continue to thrive needs to step up. And fight for it. They are coming after the golden goose.

Wouldn't't it have been cool if @PrabSarkaria was at the show, because apparently you are just a "small fringe group in Toronto"! The people spoke and made it clear , we don't want OUR waterfront ruined for your corp elitist and well connected Con interests
At the Broken Social Scene show, Kevin Drew said “Sing like you stopped the jets at the island airport” 😭 does anyone have some tissue? I sang! #topoli

Sorry @MuddyBike: no can do! @NoJetsTO, like @EnviroDefence, is scrupulously non-partisan.
@NoJetsTO's role is to make it politically vital for ANY politician to commit to every measure in their power that'd block the island jet scheme, & to arbitrate what measures those are.

Absolutely incredible @NoJetsTO celebratory rally today!
While the federal government, “at this stage”, has said no to jets at YTZ, we have no assurances that the Ford government will keep their hands off our beautiful waterfront.
We will remain vigilant!

Because we champion a #waterfront4all, we opposed jet expansion at Billy Bishop. As we celebrate tonight, we're grateful for the leadership of our friends @envirodefence & @NoJetsTO & for everyone of who joined the effort to persuade the Federal Government to do the right thing.
Everyone in Toronto who worked so hard on this should be proud of themselves. We made it clear that a livable city beats Pearson-on-the-lake. cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/b… #NoJetsTO #cdnpoli
