Mayor Chow has a very important point.
Ford doesn’t get to keep Torontos land he confiscated for the now defunct BB expansion
He needs to return it or Toronto needs to sue
Mayor Olivia Chow 🇨🇦@MayorOliviaChow
I want to thank the Prime Minister and the Minister of Transportation for listening to the people of Toronto. Thank you to everyone who spoke out, shared your voice, and stood up for our community. Your relentless advocacy has made a difference. Now that this expansion is not moving forward, we are calling on the Province to return the City’s land. Together, we can continue working to build a waterfront for future generations, with new parks, housing and more.

The Billy Bishop airport expansion will not move forward.
I heard concerns from #ParkdaleHighPark residents and shared them with MP @kbardeesy. We will continue to work across governments to protect our waterfront and our community.

Premier Doug Ford wanted to expand the Billy Bishop airport in Toronto.
The Canadian government stepped in and surveyed Canadians. After over 87,000 responses, it was determined Canadians don't want this.
The federal government has halted the expansion plans.
Thankfully the feds are listening when our Premier doesn't 🇨🇦❤️

@normsworld Now that expansion of the airport is dead, can we get back what Ford stole from the city? Repeal the Building Billy Bishop Airport Act, 2026 and give us back our land and the city’s role in the tripartite governance!

@robertct11 Don’t worry, we’ll continue to be vigilant. We’ve been vigilant for 12 years now.

Let's celebrate what's truly building a 'world-class' waterfront. Let's press on with #OokweminMinising & the #PortLands. "Toronto's largest park in a generation just got bigger: #BiidaasigePark opens 10 new acres of waterfront public space" @WaterfrontTO share.google/3nD5Bdnz60JXxH…

75,000 people to simply observe it was smoke and mirrors and yet we still have to entertain this was a serious project from the brain trust that brought us Two Beloved Cultural Landmarks in Exchange for One Big Spa with Subsidized Parking Palace.

What was the national infrastructure project specifically? Like, not just “muh airport” but the business case, the specifics of how it interfaces with the economy of Toronto’s waterfront, etc.?
Bc my read is it took 75,000 to demonstrate the emperor had no clothes on this file.
Chris Chapin@thechrischapin
If 75,000 people out of 40 million Canadians can shut down a national infrastructure project, we're doomed. We both know there's not a thing Doug could have done to change the views of these NIMBY losers. To be fair, the Feds were probably always going to cave, but if they cave on this, best of luck to the pipelines out west.

Advocates say the federal government's decision to halt Ontario's plan for a major expansion of Billy Bishop airport will spare Toronto's waterfront from a serious rollback on rehabilitation. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/07/25/fed…

@normsworld Agreed and true. Lol at this rate wins are hard to come by and we are getting too old for this (age is just a number but seriously)

😂 To the guy in Elmira who tried to run me over for my sign, try harder next time? 🤷♀️

@normsworld We saw lots of great wildlife while paddling our kayaks yesterday around the east end of the harbour.
Lots of Canada Geese and Kormorants, but also White Swans, some red throated Grebes, and even a groundhog at Tommy Thompson park.

@AshleyFoxRPN Thank you Ashley! Wanted to attend the Fight Ford protest at Queens Park today, but was inundated by media requests after we saved our waterfront from jets! We have to celebrate our wins, because they can be few and far between at times!

@normsworld All good! And congratulations for the airport announcement Norm! We were just talking about it today at the protest 🥳

Congratulations to everyone who fought to protect Toronto's waterfront! Public pressure matters.
Keep some of that energy.
Northern Ontario needs it too.
Northern Ontario also deserves the same voice in decisions that affect our communities, our lands, and our future. Right now, Queen's Park is making those decisions for us, without us. We need your help.
The work isn't over. #OntarioWildfireInquiry

🟥Breaking: Billy Bishop Airport expansion cancelled.
You can feel the despair of Con hopes collapsing as Toronto rejoices and Liberal seats crystallise further.
English
Who wrote this? The Premier’s office?
The feds literally said no. And no…you can’t take over their legal jurisdiction.
@fordnation overplayed his hand. This is dead on arrival.

We look forward to continuing to work to advance the expansion of Billy Bishop Airport. The benefits are clear: the project will 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. As this work continues, we look forward to seeing and anticipate a plan that ensures the project protects public spaces, including the Toronto Islands, addresses potential noise and environmental impacts, expands and improves Little Norway Park, supports new housing opportunities in the area, and delivers lasting benefits for local communities.
