Calgary is a major metropolis - as such it's an economic hub and driver for the entire area. That includes bedroom communities, but it also includes outliers like Canmore, Banff and Fort Mac.

Of course the oil from Fort Mac also benefits us far more than it does the residents of the North and you don't see any Calgarians complaining about the unfairness there.

So what? As has already been stated in this thread there are many other "major metropolis's" that already implement user fees on residents of bedroom communities.

If you want to use the services funded by the taxpayers of this city then you should have to pay a premium to do so.
