I am trying to work out why expansion at the city centre airport is a bad thing and why the mayor and the councillors and various other so called enlightened people are against it??

Can any of the more established Toronto folk explain??

As far as I can tell it isn't noise related as it is props only (only jet allowed is a medivac right??) and the approaches are over the lake anyway??

What are these so called enlightened peoples alternative. "Hey YYZ is a great place to do business..fly into Pearson with its superb ermmm road links and be downtown in emmmmmmm traffic permitting 45 mins ermm ermm ermm"

Or fly to the city centre and be in your office in 10 minutes.

No brainer to me...even as a new native

Oh and those waterfront condos look awful anyway,.\
