What i like about this article from @GraphicMatt on the Billy Bishop Toronto airport is that it looks a the numbers.

Even if we ignore the whole noise and gas pollution, this airport is not doing so well since they introduced the train to Pearson and it's unclear how adding jets would fix it.

The value prop of the airport is that it's small and quiet, doubling passengers would do the opposite, this place is just not setup for volume.

Matt Elliott: How the numbers undermine Doug Ford’s flight of fancy on Billy Bishop and jets

There are reasons to be skeptical of the Billy Bishop proposal, based on what we do know about the economic reality of the island airport.

If you #BikeTO in #Etobicoke, you will want to check this out. The plan includes a couple of small bikeways on Panorama Court and Rowntree Road. You can submit your feedback by Monday, April 6. #TOpoli #VisionZero

Leave it to @[email protected] to call out the lack of data supporting the idea of having jets at Billy Bishop Airport! High landing fees, low passenger numbers, gridlock, and over $1 billion needed makes this all not add up. #TOpoli #ONpoli #cdnpoli #NoJetsTO www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Ontario, the only hat Doug Ford wants to wear is the red MAGA one. Our Premier remains Trump's biggest fan, probably because, like Trump, he's a corrupt nepo-baby imbecile. #onpoli #topoli #cdnpoli

A bicyclist was hit today, on Eglinton and Oakwood.

The city has still not installed the promised and planned bike lanes.

The new LRT has opened. This was meters from the subway station. The city has spent billions on the LRT, and 16 years of construction. Yet the neighbour has been abandoned by the city to car traffic. Prioritizing people traveling from downtown, to the 401 highway, using the Allen Rd.

Given last night's crash at Eglinton & Oakwood and the fact bike lanes were promised on Eglinton from Keele to Mt Pleasant, PLEASE e-mail the City ASAP using this template which I encourage you to customize for your own experiences & share. #BikeTO #TOpoli #VisionZero www.reddit.com/r/torontobik...

A cyclist was seriously injured at Eglinton & Oakwood last night. Now that the Eglinton Crosstown LRT is open, the #BikeTO community deserves to know WHEN will the long promised bike lanes on that street be installed? #shame #TOpoli #VisionZero CC www.cp24.com/local/toront...

Toronto can confirm these findings as well with only 10% of customers arriving on Bloor Street in The Annex by car when the Bloor bike lane pilot was installed in 2016 from Shaw to Avenue. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #VisionZero #UrbanTruth web.archive.org/web/20260203...

Given all the recent nonsense coming from the Ford government from OSAP cuts to jets at YTZ to FOI exemptions, my latest blog post rounds it all up and asks the following question. What will it take to stop Doug Ford? #TOpoli #ONpoli #ONDP #OLP #PCPO #GPO www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2026/03/what...
