Make your island airport plans public, Mayor Chow tells federal port authority
Federal authority has plans, but won’t share them unless mayor signs NDA

The Toronto Port Authority has shared its early plans for the $5 billion expansion of Billy Bishop airport with provincial & federal officials, but is withholding this information from Mayor Olivia Chow and the public thestar.com/news/gta/mayor-o… #onpoli #cdnpoli #TOpoli

When Trump says "billion" with his nose stuffed, it sounds like "million", which is often. Voice-to-text is an imperfect technology.
It's about getting to know your POTUS.

Ok, but what about $300 billion? With a “B”.

…and by the time we learn that it will actually cost us billions, there will be contracts signed, shovels in the ground, and no turning back. Oops!

🚨 Breaking 🚨
Will taxpayers be on the hook for the $5 billion airport expansion that will destroy the Toronto Waterfront?
The Toronto Port Authority says the expansion will be self financing, but with $17 million annual net revenue, how could they finance a $5 billion loan?

Billy Bishop Airport served 1.75M passengers in 2025, down from 2.8M in 2018 and 2.77M in 2019.
Ford’s projected 10M unsubstantiated
Last year Pearson served over 47 million and with the expansion, will exceed 60M.
UP express 28 minutes to Pearson.

The idea that an expanded Billy Bishop jetport can be inserted into Toronto Harbour is pure magical thinking. Read the TORealityCheck.ca brief for the full picture of how many ways the shoe does not fit. torealitycheck.ca/full-repor….

At the Toronto Port Authority AGM, waiting for news of whether the Government of Canada will choose to let this jet runway scheming continue, or nip it in the bud. Canada should fill its 5 vacant FEDERAL director positions with people committed to NEVER proposing jets.

As timid Liberal MPs keep saying, we haven’t seen a full plan for Billy Bishop. But we know what an airport serving 10 million passengers a year looks like. Transport Canada’s “scant” survey should’ve made this clear, says @richardwarnica thestar.com/opinion/star-col… #onpoli #cdnpoli

My sample survey questions:
With regards to Billy Bishop airport are you in favour of:
A) Keeping it the same (best $ value)
B) Turning it into a public park (best ❤️ value)
C) Expanding it for billions of dollars while destroying the environment to save JP Morgan’s investment.
