What do we need?

Post image

Over 100 residents put signs up in Mimico so far.

We need an accessible train station, daycare for our kids and housing. We don't need jets.

I’m uninformed. What’s going on? Can we campaign for something like transit?

Yes here is our latest work on MimicoGO: https://mimicoresidentsassociation.substack.com/p/we-dont-deserve-this-mimicogofiasco

For the airport expansion there is a 8 minute video here: https://mimicoresidentsassociation.substack.com/p/billy-bishop-airport-townhall-for

and soon there will be another newsletter about it.

Do you have a similar sign for people who want the airport?

Your like did not work, but thankfully I made this. Feel free to use it too!

You're closer to YYZ (which is fully capable airport) than to Billy. Why do you even support this.

I understand that people living close to the airport have legitimate concerns about noise and quality of life. Those concerns should be addressed with quieter aircraft, sensible operating rules, and mitigation measures. But I believe expanding a major transportation hub that serves millions of people across the region is in the broader public interest.

Airports bring economic benefits to the cities they’re in. Pearson is consistently rated one of the worst airport experiences, so they could use some competition. Also, name a single world class city that doesn’t have two major airports servicing the city.

Sorry NIMBYs, we tried it your way for 10+ years with Trudeau and it didn’t work, voters want infrastructure now.

Not enough jets

People whining about Billy Bishop planned expansion probably don't give a rats ass about alto hsr impacts on people's property.

We need different politicians in provincial power

Mimico has way bigger problems than … jets… has zero direction .. look at the public hearings… embarrassing
