Call me an environmentalist if you want but that's quite the wetland habitat they're going to wreck. Doesn't the reservoir supply Calgary with it's drinking water? The wetland acts as a natural filter for the water before it gets there. Surely that is going to be strongly affected unless maybe they build that whole section as a bridge?
Bridges, namely of the Suspension variety. It would cost more, but it would save the headache of the First Nations and the exorbitant costs they'll likely command.
