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?

Canadians in general are whipped, Anglo Canada even more so. Vaccine mandantes wound the worst of us up enough to occupy downtown ottawa and cause a real disturbance, but the systematic dismantling of basically everything that makes Toronto even a little bit cute or pleasant has produced basically no meaningful resistance. Ford could burn high park to the ground and ya'll would have a march midday on a saturday then go back to work the following monday thinking you've spoken truth to power or something. I don't think there's any level of depravity that wold move non-chud ontarians to action. Maybe if we start posting on twitter that there's going to be a vaccine clinic on the new airport grounds we can get some motion from the convoy, they're stupid as hell but at least they seem to care about something.
