Smash the state! Okay, start with the TTC!

I've posted today's column on the transit strike (also my previous column on the press gallery fracas, if you missed it.) The source for the "curb rights" approach to deregulation mentioned in the piece is a 1997 study by three US economists for the Brookings Institution, condensed here. There's a good survey of transit competition around the world here. And for a look at transit's past, and its future, check this mind-blowing article (registration required) by the always thought-provoking Larry Solomon.
