Oh no…anyway…
The same thing happened the last time.
Good.
Enough nature destroying ideas from the strip mine the Rockies party.
Good.
Now push Alto to give people more options to make it to Toronto.
Feds probably got spooked that there would be an orange wave in those downtown ridings next election if they allowed Ford to go through with the expansion
This is a stupid decision by the feds.
As a Torontonian who lives downtown, Toronto desperately needs another airport with jets. Toronto is one of the few major North American cities without two major airports. Pearson is one of the most expensive airports to fly out of as well.
The jets flying in and out would be quieter than the prop airplanes and more environmentally efficient. The expanded airport would create more jobs in Toronto and bring more people here.
Bring on the downvotes, but facts are facts and this was a stupid decision.
This country is filled with idiots lmao. No wonder why we fall so far behind
Good, Put the money and time into expanding and renovating Pearson. Improve transit, extend the eglinton LRT and update the UP express. It only takes 20 minutes to get into the city. Probably the same amount of time it takes to take the ferry to Billy bishop airport.
So maybe not the best idea w the island airport specifically but can we not get some efficiently run infrastructure projects in general that create jobs and benefit the public? Why does it feel like Ontario is stuck in 2004?
For a developed nation it’s embarrassing at this point. Thank God there’s no war on…
Like do we need to wait for 80’s and 90’s babies to reach their 60’s before we tackle some actual change for once? Status quo or bust doesn’t make problems magically go away
That’s unfortunate.
This is good news. Toronto does ot want or need this airport Expansion. This was always a vanity project ford and his donators. The governemt should be focusing on expanding Hamilton or kw airport to allow more room at Pearson.
Great idea. There’s no need for this vanity project.
Waste of taxpayer dollars. You’re better off expanding Pearson, and upgrading UP Express to be electric & fixing the botched bridge between Terminal 1 and Weston GO.
Jets aren’t worth the poor health outcomes in the city airport.
Where does it say it’s halted? I’m sorry but read the ministers statement and show me exactly where it says expansion isn’t happening.
„Build at speeds not seen in generations.“
Not needed especially after we get this HSR up and running.
Good!
One piece of this news I don’t understand is that a small extension of the runway still needs to happen regardless to comply with federal safety rules. Is that still going ahead? Failure to do so will compromise the current airport model, which unlike the expansion, everyone really likes.
“contribute up to $8.5 billion to Canada’s economy every year, create thousands of jobs, and improve connectivity for millions of travellers and businesses across Ontario, North America and beyond.”
There is just no way that number is accurate. I’m really tired of governments coming up with fake numbers.
To quote the Late Benny Hill:” if it was God’s intention for us to fly He would have given us tickets “.
Toronto needs a much better urban transit system if they want to bring MORE people to Billy Bishop.
