Canada NewsCarney suggests island airport jets not nixed in perpetuity: 'forever is a long time''Forever is a long time'Photo: The Canadian Press Prime Minister Mark Carney speaks at a housing announcement in Toronto, on Wednesday, Aug. 5, 2026. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sammy KoganPrime Minister Mark Carney is not ruling out ever allowing jets to land at Toronto's island airport, but he is focused for now on a broader transportation picture, he said Wednesday. Ontario Premier Doug Ford had pitched a plan to expand Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport to allow jets to land, framing it as a way to boost the economy. The results of the consultation were clear, Carney said, but "forever is a long time." However, when asked Wednesday if he ever told Ford he would greenlight the project, Carney said no.
