Here’s what the Western Gap looked like on March 1: Frozen solid.

Then on March 4 CommunityAIR posted an article on BBTCA safety.  The article contained the photo.

This how the ice in the Gap looks today after a tug boat was out there  doing extensive ice-breaking.

Our observer noted: “I have not seen so much ice broken around the airport as I have witnessed today.”

Maybe PortsToronto is listening after all. Or maybe PortsToronto will claim that the ice breaking is part of standard operating procedures and the timing was just a coincidence.

Did PortsToronto really have to wait that long until before breaking up the frozen Gap?
