Lol. I have many friend/coworkers/acquaintances who claim low commute times into downtown from the burbs. I dont think people are intentionally lying but i think its a subconcious thing where you dont want to face the reality that your commute time is closer to 1 hour rather than a 1/2 hour.
I cant comment on the Chestermere commute as Ive never driven it.
All these low commute times must be on the ideal summer day where all the stars align and there are no stalls, no accidents, no lanes closed to construction, maybe its even a 1st or 3rd Friday with all the O&G workers off work.
How about the extreme opposite? A nice snowy winter day with blowing snow and icy roads.
If you could live in Chestermere and work Chestermere (or any other burb or surrounding community) that would be a better setup.

Accept it. Suburbanites have longer commutes. In exchange they get homogenous communities, brand new schools, and front garages. Don't try to claim inner-city status with your once-a-month 15 minute commutes.
/end innercity-ite rant.
