I strongly disagree. Going through Airdie would be the best route.
If you go through Airdrie you can get to downtown in 20 minutes flat guaranteed if you wanted to check out some cool attractions while on your travels. It wouldn't be much of a detour. Deerfoot rips and I live in Airdrie and it taks me 20 minutes door to door from Airdrie to my office downtown. I just don't get why other people don't live in Airdrie.
