✦AI Summary
Ontario Premier Doug Ford has expressed disappointment to Prime Minister Mark Carney regarding the federal government's decision to cancel the expansion of the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. The cancellation occurred shortly before the announcement of a byelection, leading to speculation about political motivations.
Carney cancelled the island airport scheme before it could cause his Liberals any political turbulence, including potentially in the Aug. 31 Beaches—East York byelection that the prime minister called Sunday.
