NHL teams use the C-Train?
I am sure people who commute to the city every day contribute a good deal to the economy of our city. This point isn't really valid though, because regardless of what these people contribute, it certainly isn't, on average, equal to someone who works here, contributes to the economy AND pays taxes.
The point is, the user of a service that has been shown to have value should be paying that value rather than it being paid for by someone else's taxes.
