I don't see any possible way that doesn't end up being less total driving time. And gas is not cheap over there, you're probably looking at hundred of dollars more in gas. This makes zero sense to me, and I say that as someone that lives right in downtown Calgary and far prefers an urban environment.
Yes, I'm exploring options that are within 45 minutes of the office each way. I don't consider that unreasonable because most folks working in downtown Calgary do that sort of commute on a daily basis. My commute downtown was just over 30 minutes in the past but that included dropping my kid off at school and stopping at Starbucks. An additional 15 or so minutes each way wouldn't be a deal breaker.
