Getting a helping hand from a friend can make your day. That’s what happened on Thursday when our friends from Transport Action Ontario talked to the media about how an expanded Island Airport will hurt boaters and kayakers.
But it’s not just transportation experts that can speak out. Putting up a lawn sign in your front yard or your window is another way to get out the message.
NoJetsTO lawn signs are springing up in neighbourhoods across the city. But we need to do more to counter Porter. They are all over Twitter asking folks to put up their lawn signs.
Getting a lawn sign is simple. Just fill out this form and we will get in touch for delivery. A recommended donation of $10 per sign goes a long way in covering our costs.
But there’s more. We now have T-shirts as well! Get one of these soft cotton tees to spread the word about saving Toronto’s waterfront. The recommended donation is $20.
Last but not least, we are looking for volunteers. We need help delivering lawn signs and strengthening our team for outreach events. With more and more petitions coming in, we also need more data entry volunteers – an easy task that you can do from home.
Whether it’s taking a lawn sign, donning a T-shirt, joining the growing volunteer team or making a donation, there is a lot we can all do.
Thank you for all your support. Together we will win this fight for Toronto.

James Cameron in oilsands 'sponge mode'
The people of Fort Chipewyan have a titanic new ally in their fight to keep their lands and waters clean in the face of growing oilsands development upstream from their community.
After a closed-door meeting Tuesday, Chief Allan Adam of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation said famed film director James Cameron has promised to do what he can to keep helping their cause.
"It's going to be a beautiful relationship," said Adam.
"I'm here to help," agreed Cameron, though he didn't specify what form his support would take.
The Hollywood heavyweight arrived in Fort McMurray on Monday and almost immediately departed on an aerial tour of the oilsands with native leaders who have complained that oilsands pollution is ruining fish stocks and giving them cancer.

Diesel fumes unhealthy, MD tells train protest
Toronto's medical officer of health launched his latest salvo today in the war of words with Metrolinx over a controversial proposal to run about 400 diesel trains a day to Brampton and Georgetown.
Dr. David McKeown took the unusual step of speaking at a political protest organized by the Clean Train Coalition, telling residents he remains concerned about the health impacts of Metrolinx's proposal to expand diesel rail service in the Georgetown corridor.

I have to agree with the doctor on this one. I'm all for improved rail service, but I don't think diesel is the way to go.
