MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Something that the local politicians and boosters in the central Alberta community are themselves seriously considering, rather than ponder the massive infrastructure requirements of shooting for such astounding growth?
It would let Red Deerians live there while commuting daily to work in Edmonton or Calgary, giving it the bedroom-community boost the big cities' neighbours now enjoy.
Lawrence Lee, another Red Deer city councillor, was present for what may have been the origin of this astounding Danielle Smith idea, when he was in Edmonton with fellow local politicians last fall.
When the premier mentioned the million-person challenge at the UCP dinner in Red Deer, the proposal got tepid applause — nowhere near the reaction that the hospital expansion or pushing back on Ottawa received.
The developed city barely existed west of today's Crowchild Trail, and hadn't pushed south past 40th Avenue.
No city in the industrialized world is likely preparing for the quantum leap of tenfold growth, any more than NASA is researching plans for a Pluto colony.
