Donato says it all........Toronto Island Airport
The Toronto Port Authority hopes to receive federal shovel money to construct a pedestrian tunnel under the short distance between the Island Airport drop-off and the airport.
It'll get the money. As infrastructure money goes, there isn't a better place. The Island airport is booming and there something pretty pathetic in the fact that the ferry operating there is in the Guinness book for the world's shortest scheduled ferry service....300 metres.
NDP MP Olivia Chow and Mayor Miller's people argue that there's no reason why the money should be spent on a "privileged few" as though Porter airlines serves only millionaire businessmen. Bull. I've known dozens of people of all income groups who've saved a ton of money flying Porter. Typical NDP crap; trying to play the classes against each other.
The interesting part of the proposal would be a water pipe to the islands to bring H20 to the retired school teachers and CBC cameramen who've retired to the tranquility of the Toronto Islands.
You know, the privileged few.
