Perhaps you could point us to one or two of those billions of studies that specifically deal with lakes that did not originally have a population of bass. It seems to me that if forage is truly an issue that there would be far better and more economical choices to stock than bass but I could be wrong.
I know I've read loads of information on the dangers of smallmouth bass specifically entering waters where trout exist. It seems smallmouth are quite comfortable in cooler waters where trout exist. Not sure why this would be different in Alberta.
