Ontario touts $8.5B annual economic impact from Toronto Island airport expansion — but won't show the math

May 19, 2026

The Ontario government says expending Billy Bishop airport could provide an $8.5-billion annual economic boost by 2050. But weeks after first touting that claim, neither the province nor the Toronto Port Authority, which owns the airport, has provided any evidence to support it. Several experts say they're skeptical.
