Good overall writeup of what to consider before the vote (Spoiler: They endorse choosing on your own)

Make it stop!!!!!!
Like most everyone, we're weary of Calgary's Olympic debate and are ready for some clarity one way or the other. It's been a strangely bitter and rancorous debate.
There's a lot more we want to dig into. We feel like we've barely scratched the surface.
Unfortunately, there's no time. It's time now for Calgarians to have their say.
This city is ready for an answer.
Newspapers have long had a tradition of trying to sway the citizenry one way or the other by making an endorsement before a big vote.
At The Sprawl, we have our own riff on this tradition.
But before we get to that, here are four things to keep in mind so you go to the polls clear-eyed.
1—Olympic venues benefit some, but not all
2—The Olympics have potential for reconciliation
3—All Olympics have gone over budget
4—The Olympics can be a powerful city-building opportunity
