The Weaselhead Society would love for you to think that it's been there since time immemorial.

The exposure of the lower wetlands may be the result of the Glenmore Dam built in 1933, but it is more or less untouched since then. Trying to claim that it is an 'artificial construct' ignores that fact that it is still a sensitive wetland that plays a role in the cleanliness of Calgary's drinking water. Not to mention it's vital to the wildlife living there.
Destroying or damaging it, and bulldozing homes in the process, as a lieu to getting back to the table with the Tsu Tina, strikes me as somewhat Neanderthal.
... and that's assuming that we even NEED the SWRR to begin with.
