Document Summary
Article: olive: why porter"s island plans should fly. Summary: porter airlines which operates for billy bishop airport is looking to expand and increase the size of their runway by 400m. They are trying to expand so jets could fly in from downtown to los angeles, vancouver and caribbean sun spots. Councillor adam vaughan think expanding the runway will industrialize the waterfront , they want to pave lake ontario or save lake ontario . Chow (federal) wants his ideas against this initiative to win against rob ford (business friendly who supports porter"s plans) in the next election. Although having the plans accepted will isolate torontonians from the waterfront and create toxins in lake ontario it is also beneficial to the economy. The new jets are fuel-efficient, less noisy, create more jobs, have standing status as a national airline with latest jets.
