Federal Government Rejects Ontario's Plan to Expand Billy Bishop Airport
The federal government has rejected Ontario Premier Doug Ford's proposal to expand Billy Bishop Airport in Toronto to allow jet traffic, citing public consultation and a focus on safety upgrades. While environmental and community advocates welcomed the decision, Ontario officials say they will continue pushing for expansion to support economic growth. The federal decision was based on widespread public concern over noise, pollution, and environmental impact, though officials left open the possibility of revisiting the issue in the future.
