Everyone has to take Deerfoot, regardless of what community they start from.

Frankly, your "lets screw over people from out of town" attitude is little more than misdirected anger. When you get down to it, Airdrie is not much farther out than Westwinds or Coventry Hills. Why don't you propose tolling people entering Deerfoot from the outskirts of the city itself as well?

I'm surprised he hasn't directed his anger toward people like me who live in High River.
