It wasn’t a smokescreen, it potentially was a hail mary. They wanted CalgaryNEXT but either didn’t want to put the time in to do it professionally, or didn’t know how. I think I have come to the realization they didn’t know how.

Honestly I think they thought Calgary was going to cream themselves at the mere mention of the project. When the obvious questions came flying on roads they said “don’t worry man” and thought it would be good enough. Then the remediation questions, more “don’t worry”

It was ill concieved and ill executed. Them side stepping the city was amateur, but they thought the will of the people would over ride good city governance. That never came. It was a total blunder and set us on the path we have today.
