For #Toronto residents only the #NDP has a unified federal & provincial position opposing Doug Ford's plans to pave the waterfront for jets at #BillyBishop Airport.

There is a provincial by-election in #Scarborough Southwest coming up. Voters in that riding can choose ONDP candidate Fatima Shaban.

#Ontario is now withholding information from its constituents regarding the #BillyBishop airport, days after ramming #FOIA through in a record time.

Folks, my friends, nothing to see here, move along now - as they are now off to a 5 month vacation.

Carney's opinion undecided on Ford government's Billy Bishop expansion
Prime Minister Mark Carney says he has not formed an opinion on Ontario Premier Doug Ford's plan to expand Toronto's island airport. Carney says he wants to wait for broad consultations, which are set to begin soon, to conclude before deciding on the proposed expansion of Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport.

I think the Carney Liberals have just written off 23 Liberal seats in Toronto to the #NDP. Aside from a few weasel words here and there, none have expressed opposition to Doug Ford paving the Toronto waterfront for jets at Billy Bishop Airport.

The NDP at both provincial and federal levels has been crystal clear about their opposition to this.

Billy Bishop is another example of Doug Ford giving it up to US companies

RE 🇨🇦May 3

Strongly suspected the Billy Bishop move was motivated not by efficiency, but profit. Someone probably got an audience with Ford, and Ford obliged.

This, from a Globe and Mail article, is consistent with my suspicions.

And of course, it would be an American company pulling Ford's strings.
