I think they realize it could cost them a lot of support in the next election, so I'd be surprised if they actually went through with it.
Also, great news that the federal government blocked the expansion of Toronto Island Airport.
It does make you wonder who at Queen's Park is disappointed by that decision. Given some of the Ontario government's track record, I'm sure there are a few people who aren't happy their plans didn't work out. Now I'm curious whether some of the same voices pushing to axe high speed also had any connections to the Billy Bishop expansion?

Are they even able to "kill" a federal project? I can see that they could complicate the process, but at the end of the day, it's not their jurisdiction.
