- ...and in also fairness Comrade Miller should share this with the idiots who gave the island squatters 99 year leases.
- Matt Gurney on renaming the island airport: Take that, Mayor Miller

What's one guaranteed way to make it hard for Mayor Miller to shut down the island airport? Name it after a war hero. Word has come out that the Toronto Port Authority intends to change the name from the bland if accurate Toronto City Centre Airport to the much more patriotic and memorable Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport.
Good idea. Canada is all but out of WWI veterans, so doing something to honour arguably the most famous of them all will help keep our veterans in the public eye. Bishop has 72 recorded aerial combat victories to his name, and while some have attacked this figure as unverifiable, stories of his bravery and skill in battle were a major factor in sparking Canadians' interest in aviation between the world wars. He aided the Royal Canadian Air Force's recruiting efforts during the Second World War and was instrumental in establishing the training regimen for the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, an enormous but all-but-overlooked element of Canada's efforts during the later, more devastating conflict. Ask a Canadian grade schooler to name a World War I veteran, and those who can will probably name Bishop.
