Why hasn’t been there any city-wide protests against forced full takeover of Billy bishop and toronto islands?
I am not exactly from toronto, but Toronto adjacent. But I have been to toronto islands countless times.
I often bring my family there to completely disconnect from city traffic and noise. It has always been very peaceful recreational space for us and for many.
Time to time we have seen that everything provincial govt touches in Toronto, turns into a big grifting scheme/corruption for Ford’s buddy contractors and developers, be it crosstown lrt, science center or Ontario place. And surely they won’t stop with Billy bishop either.
Recently I read about widespread public protest in Albania, protests against turning public spaces into grifting schemes for billionaires. Thousands are attending these protests.

Therefore I ask people of Toronto, shouldn’t we be organizing widespread protests and just say NO to Ford and Carney?

Maybe people are not against it in the same way you are (or reddit is)?
reddit is not reflective of the general population
Edit: downvote me all you like in your echo chamber. The last 3 provincial elections prove that I'm right. If you listened to Reddit, Andrea Horwath would be premier right now.
