About this episode

The episode discusses the proposed expansion of Billy Bishop Airport and the associated controversies regarding growth and regulations.

Toronto Port Authority plans to extend Billy Bishop Airports runway by over half a kilometer, aiming to handle modern jets and compete with Pearson Airport. However, critics argue its a power grab, could cause gridlock and health risks, and question the need for expansion when Pearson is already growing. The project aims to balance growth with regulations and protect the waterfront vibe. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
