Why does Toronto need a 65nm mode-c veil?

According to "Fly With Blake",
http://fly.blakecrosby.com/2007/03/t...ges_expla.html
the YYZ "Class C Mode C" airspace stretches out to 26nm, and now they are
going to make the ring from 26nm out to 65nm from 6,500MSL to 12,500MSL
"Class E Mode C", meaning you don't need a clearance, but you need to be
squawking mode C. Does this seem slightly ridiculous to you? I can get
to within 30nm of airports like JFK and LAX without a Mode C, and I bet
they handle more traffic on a slow Sunday than YYZ handles all week.
Where is the need for this air space grab?

Do Canadian pilots get as upset about needless airspace grabs as American
ones? Or are they resigned to this being the best that they can get?
