Seems like something Uber should be focusing on, instead of fighting each city's bought-and-paid-for taxi commission, why not go up a level and apply pressure (public and lobbyist) at the provincial level?
Province doesn't regulate the taxi industry, leaves it up to the municipalities to decide. In communities without taxi regulations, you don't have to have a vehicle inspection to operate the vehicle.

Chestermere and Cochrane do not have Taxi bylaws. Airdrie and Calgary do
