T5limit Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 Some time ago there was a huge bruhaha and press release about the Ontario Regional Air Support Program. At that time they were close to ordering up a couple of 120's Anybody hear what they're up to? Now that Toronto is not getting their Million$ grant/gift/whatever maybe they'll be the flavour of the month again? The guy in charge had some pretty grand ideas!! No licence or experience, just ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T5limit Posted November 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 As Ernie is gone his replacement said no go on the dough. I wonder if Toronto will ever get an aircraft? Just finished watching the news and man, there's been a lot of crap going on lately. Durham was called in to assist the other night after yet another murder.

helicopper Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 bang on, T5limit... per cbc news... No chopper for coppers Toronto — The Toronto Police Service will not get an extra $1 million to buy a helicopter, Ontario's minister of community safety confirmed Wednesday. The money had been promised in last March's final budget from the Tory administration of then-premier Ernie Eves. However, the pledge for helicopter cash now appears to have died with the Conservative government's defeat by the Liberals on Oct. 2. Monte Kwinter said there wouldn't be any extra money earmarked for a chopper, and that force will have to decide whether it can afford to buy one with existing funding. ... i can't believe they didn't grab the $$ and run way back in march!!!
