## Resource

Federal authorities have halted Ontario’s ambitious plan to bring jets to Billy Bishop Airport, dealing a major blow to Premier Doug Ford’s long-promoted vision. Despite passing legislation to seize control of the city’s stake in the airport agreement and claiming Prime Minister Mark Carney’s support, Ottawa has now officially rejected the proposal — citing public opposition in Toronto and signaling no immediate backing from the federal government. The move leaves Ford’s jet expansion on hold, while runway upgrades continue under separate federal approval. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
