Ford believes Toronto Island airport will ultimately expand despite federal roadblock
- Ontario Premier Doug Ford believes his government will eventually succeed in expanding Toronto's island airport to allow jets, though he has not revealed how this will happen.
- Toronto's Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport is governed by a tripartite agreement involving the province, federal government, and Toronto Port Authority, with the province recently replacing the city's role.

- Ford insists he will continue pursuing the airport expansion, citing economic benefits and better travel options, and has requested more polling on the issue, while Carney acknowledged the consultation's clear results but did not rule out jets permanently.
