And in addition to that, expansion at YKF (or YHM, or YXU) is no substitute for YYZ capacity.

You're slightly off. YYZ handled over 38M pax in 2014 and they still have room to accommodate a few million more without any terminal expansions. By no means is YYZ in 'bursting at the seams' territory. A friend of mine who works for GTAA stated that before T1 gets its new pier, they'll be adding capacity by reconfiguring the terminals (currently underway in T3) and moving airlines from T3 to T1 if need be.

This is what I get from reading outdated planning documents! Big Grin
