Opinion: You might have thought the world’s richest man had enough on his plate teeing up history’s biggest IPO. Yet he has been devoting many of his waking hours to stoking up racial hatred in Britain on his social media site. ft.trib.al/wsenHsI

Doug Ford is hiding a FOURTH police investigation, this time involving the Ministry for Seniors and Accessibility. It was triggered by one of 19 forensic audits this government has been forced to undertake. @stephaniesmyth is telling @fordnation to release the audit. #onpoli

If you are opposed to the expansion of Billy Bishop Airport in downtown Toronto, here's your opportunity to let the federal government know. Emails to your local MP are also highly effective. This is what they pay attention to. Flood the zone.

Hold the federal govt to account on this project, should they approve of its expansion. That means @stevenmackinnon & PM @MarkJCarney .
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 $$$$ spacing.ca/toronto/wp-conten…

Both Porter and Air Canada already fly out of both airports. Pearson just broke ground on a $3B expansion. We don’t need a $5B lake-fill project at Billy Bishop that will undermine Ontario Place, the Islands, the Port Lands, and the waterfront. This push exists because Nieuport Aviation (backed by J.P. Morgan Asset Management) bought the terminal from Porter in 2015 — and it’s not delivering. Traffic remains well below pre-COVID peaks (~1.75M vs 2.8M). Ford’s former Deputy Chief of Staff, Mark Lawson, has been lobbying hard for Nieuport and he has Ford’s ear. A better idea: Swing bridges on the Eastern Western Gaps for ped/bike/trolley access. This would open up the entire waterfront from the Beaches to the Humber. Turn the Islands (tied to the Port Lands) into a world-class car-free park like NYC’s Central Park or Chicago’s Millennium Park — year-round tourism, recreation, no more ferry bottlenecks. Waterfronts are for people, not runways. Toronto has aspired for decades to be a great city but consistently screws it up. Let’s finally do something to make Toronto a city we can be proud of.

Dear @MarkJCarney the decision has already been made by the people of Toronto and Ontario! NO. If you still expand this airport for jets and collude with Ford and American investors, your government is toast. The answer is a hard NO! Pearson is expanding. Expand the UP Express!
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!! toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2026… #cdnpoli #topoli

JP Morgan needs a pump and dump strategy for unloading the airport and we need to know if @MarkJCarney and Toronto MPs are going to stop this insane scheme. #TOPoli #Cdnpoli
Toronto’s Billy Bishop Airport lost 300k passengers in 2025 (1.7M, down from 2M), while Pearson airport keeps growing. JP Morgan is lobbying @fordnation into supporting the airport expansion, to bail out their declining asset which has no business case or feasibility. #onpoli

Doug Ford is not ' out of touch ' , he is wilfully, intentionally corrupt. Don't minimize or provide Doug Ford deniability regarding his very blatant corruption with minimizing statements like' out of touch'
This is a premier and a government that is out of touch with average people. The public’s money should never be used to enrich oneself, to buy a private jet, or give it away to friends and family. The rot runs deep. thestar.com/politics/provinc…

There is another extremely relevant angle to this. When Ford signed a $5.5B with a U.S bank for the islands, $9B to Hitachi U.S OntLine, Lecce's $21B Hitachi U.S reactors and $140M U.S Hospital facade all those deals removed those amounts from OUR GDP. Ford is working against us.
Ontario, Harmon Brampton announced its closure two days after it didn't win the $140 million facade subcontract for Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital after MAGA Ford's regime awarded $140M subcontract to a U.S. company as 700,000 Ontarians were unemployed.

If you’re genuinely afraid of the WEF or the WHO, I need you to understand something, you’re a sucker, and you’ve been tricked into fearing a conference and a committee. The WEF is Davos. It’s a ski resort in Switzerland where billionaires and politicians eat expensive food, take photos together, and agree that inequality is bad actually. It produces no laws. It has no army. It cannot make you do anything. Klaus Schwab is not your supervillain. He’s an 86 year old German academic who writes books nobody buys and hosts a yearly networking event for people who are already powerful enough to not need the networking. The WHO is 194 member countries occasionally agreeing on health guidelines that those same countries then ignore whenever it’s politically inconvenient. It is chronically underfunded, routinely overruled, and has less enforcement power than your municipal bylaw office. These are not hidden rulers of the world. They are PowerPoint presentations with a budget. The people who have you scared of these organizations do not want you asking where your actual problems come from. They don’t want you looking at your own provincial government, your own city council, your own grocery chain, your own landlord. It’s a lot easier to fear a Swiss ski resort than to engage with something you can actually do something about. You got played. It happens. But you should probably know.

The Toronto Port Authority is holding their AGM on June 11th. I read their Financial Statements - and they raise big red flags about their hasty support of Doug Ford’s plan to bring jets to Billy Bishop Airport: 1) Ridership is down at Billy Bishop 2) Billy Bishop is relying on higher operating fees to prop up revenue 3) Based on current revenue, they’d have to forego any profit for between 80-300 years to pay for the expansion 4) Based on their 2017 Environmental Assessment, the decision was made against introducing jets, and those conditions have gotten worse - not better Here’s my letter to the Toronto Port Authority. The public deserves answers to the following questions:

I wrote to Prime Minister Carney today. Doug Ford said Canada wasn't for sale. Then he rammed through the Billy Bishop expansion – pushed by an American company tied to JP Morgan. Toronto's waterfront is being handed to Wall Street. The expansion can't proceed without federal approval. Prime Minister, don't approve it.
