In case you missed it here's an overview of the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport 2015 Master Planning Exercise which looks as though it could include GA aircraft movements.
In a Toronto City Council decision in April 2014, specific to a review of the Porter Proposal, Council requested that Ports Toronto develop a scenario, based upon its 2012 Master Plan that contemplates the introduction of jet aircraft at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. This 2015 Master Planning Exercise, though theoretical, is understood to be an important component in assessing the Porter Proposal and its impacts.

In the latest edition of the ICAO Training Report, IAOPA President Mark Baker reaffirmed that a healthy general aviation segment is critical to the overall health of the global air transportation system. In his article entitled, "Commercial and General Aviation: Two Sides of the Same Coin" Baker points out that many view commercial and general aviation as two separate worlds when in fact they are more like two sides of the very same coin; you can't have one without the other.

Imagine that a foreign military fighter jet flying above Newfoundland crashes in a remote area, and that 9 Wing Gander's new wing commander doesn't know if they can respond.
The idea is not so far-fetched.
"When I arrived here in Gander this summer, I asked about force protection. What do we have in place?" asked Lt.-Col. Pierre Haché.
"Essentially we had nothing that would stand the test of scrutiny."

If Calgary-bound planes end up landing at Stephen J. Harper International, the credit must go to the Liberal government in Ottawa.
Not Trudeau II and his crew — this Liberal government dates back to 1966, when Lester B. Pearson was at the helm and pet projects like designing a national flag and merging the armed forces were the political priority of the day.
As, apparently, was stripping Calgary's airport of its rightful name, thus stealing the honour from a decorated war hero and pioneer of Western Canadian commercial aviation.

Pilot James Gendreau flies over the landmark SunTrust tower, the downtown lights glimmering in the darkness as he approaches Florida's Orlando Executive Airport.
As he gets close to the runway, Gendreau pulls the nose of his Cessna up and arcs away from his target. Then he repeats the maneuver again and again until he finally touches down. Gendreau, 48, didn't burn any fuel while he practiced. He was "flying" using a simulator at Elite SimCenters in Oviedo, which opened this month.

For a number of years now, the National EMS Pilots Association has been promoting an idea its calls the Enroute Decision Point, or EDP for short. I prefer to call it the "enroute death point" — because if you fly past it, that could easily be your fate. It's a really simple idea that any pilot can relate to because we've all done it on marginal weather flights. As we approach the soup, we slow down and drop lower. It's stupid. It's wrong. And any pilot who tells you he hasn't done it is a liar.

No one has ever set the bar for the dream machine of aviation higher than Alexander Klemin did on April 26, 1938. Testifying at a Congressional committee hearing on "Development of the Autogiro and Rotary-Winged Aircraft," the renowned chairman of the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aeronautics at New York University said that "[t]he conquest of the air in its broadest sense will only come when we can do in the air substantially everything that a bird can do in the air."

When pilot Jon M. Brinkerhoff heard the engine of his 1970 Cessna 210 Centurion sputter before sun-up, he didn't have a lot of time to react.
Hauling a load of freight from Spokane for Boise-based SP Aircraft, Brinkerhoff had spent the previous 14 minutes descending from a cruising altitude of 11,300 feet down to 3,300 feet, according to Flightaware.com, a plane-tracking service. He had received clearance to land and was heading east at a speed of 183 mph toward Runway 10-Left at the Boise Airport.

A group that promotes aviation training for women says focusing outreach on teenagers is a less productive way of correcting the gender imbalance in the cockpit. The Institute for Women of Aviation Worldwide (iWOAW) said in a news release that statistics show that most people start flying as adults. "Most outreach initiatives are restricted to age groups that are not in a position to act for at least another decade," says Mireille Goyer, iWOAW's founder and president.
