Official petition

Petition to the Government of Canada Ontario Premier Doug Ford has called for jets at the Toronto Island Airport, and has introduced a bill to undemocratically take over Toronto's role in the airport. Toronto's waterfront has seen billions in investment from all three levels of government, and has returned billions more to the economy. Jets would put that investment at risk and conflict with affordable housing plans on the East Waterfront, adding significant pollution and traffic while harming birds and animals. We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to exercise their authority as a signatory in the Toronto Island Airport Tripartite Agreement and save our waterfront by saying no to jets at the Toronto Island Airport.
