Mississauga city councillors voted on Wednesday to cease negotiations with the operator of Toronto Pearson International Airport on plans to build a multibillion dollar transit hub near the airport until a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the two sides has been approved. The City of Mississauga has declared war on the Greater Toronto Airports Authority. Pearson transit hub would be a ‘game changer,’ Mississauga mayor says“It’s like the Vatican in the middle of Italy,” she said. Mississauga has also filed a lawsuit against the GTAA for refusing to pay nearly $5 million in stormwater fees. Since Pearson airport sits on federally-owned property, the GTAA is not required to pay property taxes.
