For those that seek a future that brings together the best of the insights and objectives of people who, within the social democratic and democratic socialist traditions, have worked through farmer, labour, co-operative, feminist, human rights and environmental movements, and with First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples, to build a more just, equal, and sustainable Canada within a global community dedicated to the same goals.

Airports are a very tricky but important land use, there are huge obstacles to creating or expanding them in any useful place. They tend to only end up in useful places at useful sizes somewhat organically, and when we have an airport in a useful place that's a useful size we need to protect that. It takes a massive investment to actually develop that infrastructure any further once it gets to that point, and anyone who would intentionally throw that public investment away should be sent skydiving without a parachute. Because they're usually crooked land developers.
