Airport pick-ups create taxi chaos next to school

Waterfront residents have long complained about hordes of taxis showing up for the island airport. A plan for a “taxi corral” may help.

Don't Include Me In Your "WE" Joe...

...go after the mayor, clown council, those citizenswho don't vote in municipal elections, the media who support left wing politicians (Miller, McGoonty) and last but not least the tenants who should be packing council meetings and city hall in protest.

Thank The NDP For Legalizing Squatting

Retirement housing? How about the thousands of low income people who have their names on the lottery list for subsidized housing?

Hundreds play lottery for chance at Islands real estate

At least 500 people on a waiting list share the same dream as Rod Walker of owning a home on the Toronto Islands. He hopes the fourth time is a charm.

My Sentiments Also....

...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

Posted: September 03, 2009, 7:04 PM by NP Editor

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.

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.
