The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that the Ontario government's bill aimed at seizing the City of Toronto's stake in Billy Bishop Airport -- and overriding municipal objections to allowing jet traffic -- appears to give the province powers over most of the Toronto Islands. The Globe's Jeff Gray and Jenna Olsen write that the provincial government says it only intends to take land needed to expand the island airport. Ontario Premier Doug Ford has been championing a push to lengthen the facility's runways to accommodate jet traffic and handle as many as 10 million annual passengers, five times the current number. On Thursday, Ontario Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria spoke to reporters after introducing proposed legislation meant to fulfill Mr. Ford's vow last month to assume control of the city's land at the airport. The move is meant to remove the municipality from the tripartite agreement with the federal Toronto Port Authority and Ottawa that has long governed the airport and bans jets. Porter Airlines and Air Canada currently only fly smaller turboprops from Billy Bishop, not jets, which are much larger and would require runway extensions of hundreds of metres jutting into Lake Ontario.
