DOUG FORD: COOL YOUR JETS
Toronto Can Decide the Future of the Island Airport, Thank You Very Much
Doug Ford lost the 2014 mayoral election, and he still can't get over it.
He's always had dumb designs for our waterfront: monorails, ferris wheels, mega-malls, high-end spas, floating convention centres, shrink-flated science centres, half-billion dollar parking lots, and now... a Pearson Airport on the waterfront.
There are ideas people, and there are bad ideas people - and that's Doug Ford.
He's never passed a balanced budget, but taken over school boards who don't make cuts. He oversaw almost a decade of delays to the Eglinton Crosstown. He made our roads deadlier by outlawing speed cameras - over the objections of major municipalities. And now he personally reviews and approves the plans of any city or town that wants to install bike lanes.
Just like all his other bad ideas, his designs for Doug Ford Airport will inevitably make things worse.
My message to Doug is simple: cool your jets, stay in your lane, and let us stay in ours.

Such an important piece of this announcement is there is no new money in the budget for this! It’s just reshuffled underfunding with probably more costs associated with administering the program #onted #onpoli

Through our voices folks, we can cripple this parasitic government. If you don’t wanna sign a petition, contact the government yourself directly to give your feedback.
We, the people have always held the power time to fucking use it

“Allowing jets at the airport will impose tighter height limits on developments in the Port Lands — reducing housing potential in one of the few parts of the city where there’s at least the possibility of major new homebuilding at scale.” www.tvo.org/article/anal... #topoli #onpoli

I'm so far agnostic on the expansion of Billy Bishop.

But I completely agree that Ford is going about this wrong. Even if I supported expansion, I'd not support this. Sometimes even good ideas deserve to die on process. That's democracy.

What does corruption look like?

What does a complete lack of accountability look like?

Where is the RCMP inquiry into Ford's greenbelt corruption???????????????

Matt Elliott: Why Doug Ford needs to get over his obsession with Toronto and its waterfront The premier’s recent proposal for jets at Billy Bishop and a conference centre on reclaimed land follow 15 years of his various attempts to put his own stamp on the waterfront.

“Ford has been perpetually preoccupied by a waterfront plan that has never needed his ideas — and will be worse because of them.” www.thestar.com/opinion/cont... #topoli #onpoli

Some things never change. From Rob Ford to Pierre Poilevre to Doug Ford, those with no vision want to wreck our waterfront with jets. Did a few interviews today on how our revitalized waterfront is far too important than to wreck with jets. Support NoJetsTO by visiting NoJetsTO.com! #topoli #cdnpoli

 MACLEAN'S article stating 
Jaime Watt's daughter is Heather Watt. Ms. Heather Watt has been appointed as supervisor at the PDSB. Ms. Watt is a management consultant with over 20 years of career experience in public and private sector leadership. She has worked in crisis consulting and senior strategy roles across multiple sectors, including government, life sciences, health insurance, pharmacy, consumer products, industrials and private equity. Heather’s LinkedIn where it’s shown she worked as the Chief Strategy Officer at Navigator

So it turns out that Heather Watt, the Ford crony supervisor appointed to run the Peel District School Board is the daughter of Jaime Watt, founder of Navigator. Who better to help Education Minister Calandra navigate the useful crisis of his own creation? #topoli #Onpoli #onted

Speaking of John Tory and Navigator; if you believe the stories (which are everywhere, but let's call them "unconfirmed"), when his affair was exposed, he hired Navigator to build a crisis strategy for communicating with his wife.

Toronto Port Authority backs Doug Ford’s call to expand Billy Bishop airport for jets In a letter to provincial Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria, the federally mandated agency that owns and operates the island airport has hailed a potential expansion.

Look what Doug Ford's opening of that can of worms has done! Now the Toronto Port Authority has revived their calls to bring jets at Billy Bishop Airport; something which must NEVER happen! #shame #TOpoli #ONpoli #cdnpoli #NoJetsTO CC @normsworld.bsky.social www.thestar.com/politics/pro...
