I'm reading as of 26 August that the Toronto Port Authority - a federal agency - is looking to replace the ferry with an underground - not just underwater - tunnel arrangement for people to just walk through.
The mayor of Toronto at this writing got himself elected on a number of promises, including ending the island airport. So he's not very happy about this development.
I'm not entirely sure what to make of the whole dispute yet. I've used the island airport once or thrice back in the days when I hadn't yet gotten hooked on VIA Rail as my preferred travel method, so I have a nostalgic affection for the place...at least the pre-Porter Airlines days. Back when it was Air Ontario and their little Dash 6 or 7 planes going in and out of the place.
