Wow. Just wow.
I can't believe you make an assumption like this. What are you basing this on? The fact that Calgary has less smog than most cities? The fact that we're in the heart of oil country? The fact that a recessive market is going to curb expansion outward (which it won't?)
Please tell the rest of us just how environmentally sound urban sprawl is, I'm keen to know.
It is this kind of attitude - a middle-to-upper class Calgarian with money to burn - that David Suzuki is indirectly referring to to contributing to our ecological disaster.
You seem like the kind of person that will only react to problems
after they happen, and in this case, only if Calgary damages the environment significantly will you be concerned. That is a very dangerous line to walk.
