Well duh.
If anything, high speed rail to Okotoks would cause the population to explode, which it simply can't... So between that, and the ridiculousness of spending billions to connect a community of 30k, it's simply not feasible. (The example of "some places in Asia" conveniently ignores the fact that those cities connected by high speed rail are all larger than Calgary)
The far more likely scenario is for the government(s) to pull the zoning lever and let private developers build build build...
