Re: "Canada Post?" Coyne May 23

... There is only one issue in the decision to end the government monopoly of postal services- is it right for the government to force it's intervention in the commerce and exchange of goods in our nation?
... All other peripheral issues are merely distracting- "fairness" in rates, efficiency of service, precedents of privatisation in other countries, etc.
... As always, we must learn to choose between the Marxist interventionist role of the state in the marketplace, or the role of the state defending the liberty and private property of the citizens.
... Unfortunately, it is unlikely that our prime minister will have the courage to end this government monopoly, as we have yet to see any conservative economic initiatives thus far..
