The second point; yes provincial and federal money paid for a good chunk of Calgary Transit. Are you trying to imply that your community doesn't see a dime of federal/provinical infrastructure money?
I'm sure we could sit there and figure out how much each community pays per captia; and then how much it receives per capita. But at the end of the day while you may have paid for Calgary Transit, I paid for a bridge in Okotoks that I never use.

No I am not. I am implying that the residents of Calgary also use the roads and infrastructure in the country.
And as someone else said, we don't all necessarily use health services, schools, any social service or infrastructure in the same way, some are high users, some dont use them at all.
But we all pay taxes, and as such, don't crap the bed because someone else uses a service that we both have paid for.
