3 years in I am still not sure. Sometimes he is pragmatic. Then he pulls a stunt like this.
If he felt the need to call out the chba so be it. But to take your toys and go home is ...weak.
No matter whether people like or not 20,000 people a year come to Calgary and they don't all want to live in 600 sq ft condos, nor do all the people who live here now. And the housing industry is a big one. Again like it or not its a fact.
It is not a conversation where only the mayor or his brain trust should have a voice.

No one has ever remotely suggested that all Calgarians must live in 600 square foot condos. This sort of hyberbolic fear mongering is totally absurd considering Calgary is probably one of the most single-family-home-dominated cities on earth.
