I haven't read the whole thing either, but this kinda stands out...

As for the legal issues in other Canadian cities, well Toronto has taken them to court:

And in Quebec they had their offices raided for tax documents;

So all is not well in other cities, I think they are just so new that these issues will take awhile.
Make no mistake, I hate Calgary's taxi situation and I'm not defending them. I just think Uber is trying to operate a taxi company and pretend they aren't one to get around regulations, some of which are to protect citizens.
I also get the feeling they aren't paying all the taxes they should. A quick check on the Uber boards shows that none of the drivers commenting have any clue what they are due to pay, and Uber has provided little guidance. It seams they expect the drivers to pay it, even though Uber are collecting a share of the revenue.
Try this, every time you get in an Uber cab, ask for a receipt with a GST # on it. I suspect the reply will be a look of confusion.
