This federal gov survey about the Billy Bishop Airport is disgustingly biased in favour of expanding it and allowing jets. Please fill it out and let the Canadian gov know how damaging this project would be to Torontonians' health & wellbeing. #ONpoli #TOpoli #cdnpoli tc.canada.ca/en/corporate...
Question: Would you support changes to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport? This could include optimizing airport infrastructure (including changes to runways), allowing for different aircraft types, generating economic development and job creation, improving connectivity, increasing passenger flow, etc. 

Answer: NO. Wow, this survey is already super biased - pitching the "changes" as only economic benefits. The environmental affects of these changes would be disastrous. Pollution of all kinds (air, water, noise) would threaten Toronto and the health of anyone who lives here. So NO, I don't support the changes.
