Olivia Chow
Mayor of Toronto since 2023. Chow has been the leading municipal voice opposing the Ford government's seizure of city-owned land at Billy Bishop Airport and Little Norway Park. She moved Toronto City Council's 14-point response motion on April 24, 2026, directing the City Solicitor to pursue legal action, requesting federal intervention, and demanding the province fund the relocation of two schools, a daycare, and a community centre adjacent to the expropriated park.
Connected Scandals
Doug Ford's government introduced Bill 110 to seize all of Little Norway Park — a children's playground and waterfront green space beside two schools and a daycare — to expand Billy Bishop Airport into a jet hub, with no plan, no environmental assessment, and no guarantee the park won't become a parking lot.
Mayor Chow called Bill 110 "a pure power grab" and stated the province is "going to take parkland and pave it at Little Norway Park." She moved Council Motion 2026.MM40.46 on April 24, 2026, directing legal action against the provincial expropriation and requesting the federal government disallow the land grab. She also called Ford's claim of 70% public support "not true."
