There's no rail service to Toronto's airport yet, but there is an express bus connection from Kipling subway station known as the Airport Rocket.

There are plans for express rail from downtown Toronto called BLUE22, it would use ex-VIA RAIL RDC cars and take 22 minutes.  Fare would be about $20. This plan currently is in the EA (Environmental Assessment) phase and has substanial opposition along the route from aleast one community.

There are a surprising number of airports in the U. S. that do have  
decent mass transit service:  Logan in Boston; O'Hare in Chicago;  
Baltimore-Washington with the LRT in the terminal and Amtrak on the  
east side of the property; and, as you said, Philly an exhorbitant  
fare from the airport (but a cheap bus ride); LAX has a bus shuttle  
to the light rail to make it complicated; Cleveland's Hopkins Airport  
has the subway; Atlanta is on MARTA's southern subway line; BART goes  
into the SFO terminal building; Kennedy's expensive people mover  
reaches both the Long Island RR at Jamaica and the A train at Howard  
Beach; Minneapolis actually uses the light rail as the intra-airport  
terminal shuttle; Portland's Tri-Met runs a light rail branch into  
the airport terminal; Seattle should have light rail to SeaTac  
Airport in another two or three years; DART should be serving Dallas  
Fort Worth Airport by 2013 with light rail and does not Toronto now  
have a branch of TTC's subway?     Someone will tell me what I missed.
