You seem to be knowledgable about the technical aspects, but I don't think the quantity of money involved is very significant. How many people come to Toronto just for this airshow, and not the CNE per se? Surely far fewer than for many other events like Caribana and the Gay Pride celebrations. And hundreds of thousands of dollars isn't all that much these days, y'know. It costs on the order of half a million to buy a very ordinary small old house on a tiny lot in downtown Toronto. Even a downtown condo costs about that much. In an economy of more than 2 million people in Toronto and about 8-10 million in the GTA, even a few million dollars isn't very much. I live several miles north of the site, and I've put up with the noise for decades. When the planes turn around between stunts, they do so over my house and a lot of other densely populated terrain in downtown Toronto -- probably some of the most densely populated terrain in Canada. This year the noise was substantially worse than it's ever been. I could feel the porch floorboards vibrating under my feet on some passes, as well as a sort of vibration in my bones and chest. The noise level was often painful, and it kept setting off car alarms. This is really unacceptable, even if it's "only" six days. We took some photos of the planes causing the most problems as they flew overhead, and they had US NAVY painted on the undersides. Perhaps this troupe flew much lower than usual. I'd like to know if any effort is made to minimize noise by, for example, doing as much of the turning as possible over the lake, or at higher altitudes. I think there should be limits set on the intensity of noise at ground level away from the site of the actual show -- these fliers should be able to modify their performances to meet rules that make them less of a problem for the hundreds of thousands of people under their flight paths who are not interested in the airshow. It's not like it's taking place in a rural area where the spectators outnumber the uninvolved. I suspect that if some significant effort at noise abatement isn't made, the airshow may indeed be banned. If the CIAS isn't willing to do so, they may have to find another venue for the show. |

Buy this man a round!!!!!!!!!! I live several miles north of the site, and I've put up with the noise for decades. When the planes turn around between stunts, they do so over my house and a lot of other densely populated terrain in downtown Toronto -- probably some of the most densely populated terrain in Canada. My point underscored - by the majority of Torontonians. It *has* to be stopped. Petition is necessary. My new cause I suppose - wait - not new. I've been beating this tree trunk for more than 13 years. This year the noise was substantially worse than it's ever been. I could feel the porch floorboards vibrating under my feet on some passes, as well as a sort of vibration in my bones and chest. The noise level was often painful, and it kept setting off car alarms. This is really unacceptable, even if it's "only" six days. Windows vibrating. Every life form flying or running terrified. Worse than the worst of thunderstorms. Truly insane "entertainment". For what? The pathetic rotting carcass of CNE coffers. We took some photos of the planes causing the most problems as they flew overhead, and they had US NAVY painted on the undersides. Perhaps this troupe flew much lower than usual. Ya think? I was told fines were levied. I've checked for a news story about this but have yet to pun down the actual story. The DB level cuased ringing in the ears for a good while after the assholes landed. I'd like to know if any effort is made to minimize noise by, for example, doing as much of the turning as possible over the lake, or at higher altitudes. I think there should be limits set on the intensity of noise at ground level away from the site of the actual show -- these fliers should be able to modify their performances to meet rules that make them less of a problem for the hundreds of thousands of people under their flight paths who are not interested in the airshow. It's not like it's taking place in a rural area where the spectators outnumber the uninvolved. The rediculous spectacle has to be relocated to an area where there is no chance of thousands of people being incinerated from *another* catastrophic crash. It is the repugnant CNE cash greedy that insists on this annual Russian roulette show being located over the city core. All important box office sales to keep pumping life into a truly mundane "exhibition". We do not need supersonic military aircraft formation flying over our city. Period. I suspect that if some significant effort at noise abatement isn't made, the airshow may indeed be banned. If the CIAS isn't willing to do so, they may have to find another venue for the show. Petition. Great followup sir! -- Master of Puppets - Burkina Faso Hellraisers - www.thescambaiter.com DENSA Life Achievement ø Am I the only one with half a brain? |

It would be more effective to write to your MP, MPP and city councillor. That's what I intend to do. I also intend to present the case calmly and without hyperbole, asking whether there are noise limit rules, and whether they can be enforced more effectively. Rather than spending your time and effort on petitions, encourage others to write to the people who can actually do something about the problem, and can be motivated to act, rather than the people whose vested interest is in the status quo. Great followup sir! That's ma'am, not sir. |
