According to Statistics Canada
2001 - 2011 Calgary grew 27.6% in population.
2001 - 2011 Edmonton grew 23.6% in population.
So actually Calgary grew considerably (17%) faster than Edmonton, and with a higher baseline to start with as well. Those "growth prohibitive" policies really seem to be slowing us down.
