## Resource

Federal authorities have halted Ontario’s push to expand Billy Bishop Airport, citing overwhelming community opposition—over 87,000 responses—with Ottawa now prioritizing safety upgrades instead. While the province touts economic gains like $8.5 billion annually and thousands of jobs, the feds insist any future plan must respect public spaces, environmental concerns, and housing needs. Despite this setback, federal investments in Toronto’s broader transit network—including Pearson expansion and high-speed rail—continue apace.
