I got a better, irrefutable argument: My tax dollars are going to pay for this and I will not be silenced about a new airport being built when one is underutilized.
Argue that!

Oh come on, that one is easy! Accept an all private money proposal instead of doing a P3 RFP and let’s get going!I got a better, irrefutable argument: My tax dollars are going to pay for this and I will not be silenced about a new airport being built when one is underutilized.

As much as I am a fan of electric aircraft developments —HFR ( high frequency Rail) is not direct competition , airports and rail support each other nicely if properly designed. But an airport is much cheaper to build and can be run at a profit.

Isn't one of the drawbacks of the Pickering Airport its distance from large corporate head offices and Fortune 500 satellite offices? Compared to Peel, Durham has a much, much smaller corporate footprint.
What a terrible reach even for a Pickering airport shill. The majority of an airport's heat island is caused by the airport itself! What would happen if we paved acres of land for a Pickering airport? It would become a heat island due to all that ashphalt absorbing and reflecting heat. Good grief.Welcome to the Dog days of summer! Toronto’s hottest month of the year is August, and this year could be a record breaker. Pilots worrying about density altitude and safety can hopefully soon look forward to the smart design and heat island reducing location of the new Pickering airport.

I expect better of you Mark.

Challenge his lies and you get blocked!
I hope more folks push back.
You are clearly being rude and mocking Mark in many of your replies. Offending others is your passion, I get it. No need to ask more people to push back and erase fair and honest opinions.
