I dont get what the big deal is, Chestermere is not part of Calgary, I assume they utilize the RCMP for policing so what if Calgary Firefighters feel snubbed - how is this a story in a newspaper.

As a taxpayer in the City of Calgary I would hope the services if offered would not be for free as Chestermere doesnt contribute to the City of Calgary tax fund. If need be they could undercut the RCMP fee so long as its not operating at a deficit position to do so.
