Cameron MacLeodDoug Ford’s idea to fill in part of the harbour for jets requires an extension of 557m — longer than an Eaton Centre, four full subway trains, or twenty streetcars, just to reach the recommended runway for Embraer’s small jets.
The City of Toronto has implemented a Motorized Watercraft Exclusion Zone (MWEZ) off Hanlan’s!
🛥 Boats & jet skis now banned up to 200m from shore
🔇 New Noise Reduction Zone extends protection to 400m
🛶 Canoes, kayaks, & paddleboards still allowed

Ontario Place is PROFITABLE. It made a RECORD profit in 2022, of $5.7 million.
But Doug Ford and friends are clearcutting it, spending hundreds of millions on an underwater parking garage, and building a giant private spa on a 95-year lease.

Keep pressure up #OntarioPlace4All it’s working!
The plans are starting to shrink but it’s still a fundamentally bad premise: a 95-year lease for private control of public waterfront, $600 million for an underwater parking garage, zero transit, and lake infill, for a private spa.

Remember the old circular offramp from the Gardiner in downtown? Now it’s a beautiful new park. Removing excess car infrastructure makes TO better.
Waterfront Toronto: “Come enjoy the new green space in the community on June 23rd at 12PM!! Celebrate the beginning of summer with live music, special guest speakers, family-friendly fun activities, free snacks, and an exciting surprise for attendees.”

CBC headline: "Could Lake Ontario be the answer for commuters heading downtown? Waterfront Toronto wants to know"
Spoiler alert: no! The largest ferry in the world carries less than two GO trains, and travels less than 1/5th the speed, and boards more slowly.
Ontario will do anything other than just run more frequent and more reliable trains.
