Who cares if they have to walk back on the idea, it's what cogent city planners do if it makes sense for city. Pride and ego be damned. Too much of that crap in politics at all levels, especially in Alberta.

You could serve the south end with BRT(as was one of the plans), but the north end is where the capacity is needed. But they already picked the south end for the barns, so you have to go down there too...
You can start to see where it isn't a simple decision a couple people on a forum will just sort out. All sorts of ideas have been considered, the cheapest easiest options are also the most useless, and not really worth doing as an LRT when a busway would serve that capacity, if we are looknig at saving money. An LRT makes no sense for that route alone currently.
The SE leg is going to have similar low ridership like the west leg, which was a bad enough decision to begin with(thanks Bronco). The North leg will be closer to NW ridership.
