I think there is enough proof with the example of Europe. With the stereotypical British jokes aside, most of Europe has removed fluoride for 20-30 years already and the statistics show no change in tooth decay rates. So if it isn't doing anything, why put it in? I think we're just facing the usual change=evil Albertan mindset. While I do want a choice if fluoride is put in my water, I am surprised the Calgary council made the decision themselves. Anyone that wants fluoride in their water can go get a prescription and add it themselves as it's much harder to remove for those that don't want it.
