Food Truck Links

1. DETROIT -- "It’s only fitting that a region called “The Motor City” is getting into the mobile food game big time.  The new Taco Mama Detroit is now in operation (see photo above)."

2. CANADA -- "Exotic food trucks, which have long been popular staples in such U.S. cities as Los Angeles, New York City and Portland, are slowly making their way to Canada. However, some operators in two of the country's biggest markets say municipal regulations often leave them spinning their wheels.

Montreal has banned street food for more than the last half-century. Toronto has had a moratorium on new food truck vending permits for almost a decade, although it is now reviewing its street vending bylaws. Vancouver, on the other hand, revamped its rules and now is in the midst of a street eats boom."

3. The Washington Post yesterday featured Bert Gall, the head of the Institute for Justice's food truck program, and described his job as "suing the living daylights out of cities that dare to limit the free enterprise of street vendors."

MP: Canada obviously needs a brach office of the Institute for Justice, or an equivalent organization to fight for economic justice!
