Drastically increasing flight activity of massive commercial jets right beside the CN Tower. What could possibly go wrong?

      The guy is obsessed with Toronto’s waterfront. It’s wild. I genuinely do not understand, even with all the corruption, the lengths he has gone to just to put every weird little project as close to the already congested downtown core as he can. Ontario Place is already nonsense, the idea of expanding Billy Bishop is just a money pit with no clear benefit.

    Why would the struggling MP for Battle River-Crowfoot be backing an airport expansion in Toronto?

    What could possibly go wrong?

    Noise? Traffic? Parking? Endless construction? Corruption? Wasted investment? Climate change? Opportunity cost of not doing something more useful with waterfront property? All I know is Doug Ford’s in favour of it, so it must be a bad idea.

    So, we probably shouldn’t do it, then. (Which means that Ford probably will.)

    I flew out of there last week. Best airport experience I’ve had in years. What is he smoking; did PP find Rob Ford’s secret stash?
