You need to give more details on the timing of the Federal contributions for each project. When did the other projects get their funding? When did Calgary ask for funding?
If other projects got funding after Calgary was denied then you would have a complaint, but if Calgary asked for funding after the Conservatives decided to cut down on spending then that's just bad timing.
