Here's my two cents..

Why should they be obligated to give up reserve lands? It's the city's own stupid fault for not having the infrastructure in place that would support our population today. It's not Tsuu Tina's fault the city expanded right up to their doorstep and is now scrambling like a bunch of bumbling idiots, to build a road that should have been built a LONG time ago. This is just another example of how flakey and stupid the city is. Did they not plan for growth and expansion way back when? If this city had any sort of long-term infrastructure plan in place it would have had this road (or a road similar) built a long, long time ago without having to cut through any reserve lands. In all their wisdom did they not think Calgary would one day be million+ people? This city has the traffic problems it has today because it was POORLY planned to begin with. When a city of over a million has only one major freeway (Deerfoot) there's a bigger problem that extends far beyond just buying land off an Indian reserve for a ring road (a ring road which, in my opinion, is just a band-aid for a bigger traffic problem that this city has).
