Will Doug Ford's airport plans take off? |

Описание: Premier Doug Ford says his government intends to take over Toronto's downtown airport - and it will even pay the city for its trouble. Can he do that? And what does the future hold for the Toronto Islands? Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath break it down.

Then, the province named a military defence representative. What will they do? And how might it connect to the Ford government's larger ambitions?

Finally, it's March 13 and MPPs are still not back at Queen's Park. How unusual is that? Steve and JMM answer a listener's question with a deep dive into the legislative calendar.
