## Resource

Toronto city council is in fierce conflict with the province over land seized for the Billy Bishop Airport expansion, demanding its return after the federal government killed the jet-capacity plan. With just one dissenting vote, council passed an emergency motion to repeal the controversial provincial law that stripped Toronto of control over the airport agreement — including waterfront gems like Little Norway Park. Mayor Olivia Chow rallied support, citing overwhelming community opposition to the expansion, while the Ontario government doubled down, blaming the federal government for siding with “fringe groups.” Tensions flared publicly as Chow clashed with a rival mayoral candidate during the debate, underscoring a deepening rift over the future of the island’s land and airspace.
