THE LUCKNOW SENTINEL, 1:UCKNOW; ONTARIO
ditor;
een months ago, the Gov -
t announced the siting of a
emotional airport at Pick-
Ontario. This was to be
and of two international air.
aund Toronto, and'the
nernational airport within
s of 3.00 miles between Tor-
id Montreal. Since that •
People or Planes has led a ,
rig opposition to this pro-
,. 1,
objections are based on the
at there is not a proven
need for another international
airport either now or in the predic.
table future. The estimated cost
(ranging from 600 million (Govern.
ment figure) to 2 billion) repres-
ents a colossal expenditure by the
Federal Government. This is be-
ing made at a. time when there
are higher priorities for such a
sum of money. These priorities
include public housing, the correc•
tion of regional disparities and the
stimulation of decentralization
from. the Metro Toronto area.
.But the federal GoVernment has
plunged headlong into the airport
planning. They have hoped that
opposition to the airport 'will die
as arable farmland, turns to weed
with the departure of farmers
who have been expropriated and
bought out. 'The airport. and assoc
iated complex will occupy some
43,000 acres of class 1 farmland
Which produces a major portion of
food supplies needed to maintain
a stable cost •of living in this area.,
Ile Government has been forc-
ed to announce , because of the
opposition to the land grab, a
Hearing of Inquiry. The terms of
reference of the hearing are weak,
and it is doubtful that real infor-
mation will be forthcoming unless
.citizens across Canada rake up the
cause: •
There is no need for a second
international airpOrt at Toronto.
Thei,,e is need for correction of
regional disparities, provision of
jobs in areas outside Toronto
(there is minimal unemployfnent
at Pickering) and decentralization
of major industries from' Metro
Toronto.
If the Government proceeds
with this airport, rich Metro will
get richer - and the poor will get
poorer.
