For the first two years since Kennedy Stewart was elected mayor, the council got along, for the most part.
There was significantly less partisan bickering than occurred in the old days when NPA councillor George Affleck and Vision Vancouver’s Andrea Reimer would consistently throw shade at one another.
Sure, the current crop has had their differences, but it’s usually been over policies and not so much over personality.
Some politicians have objected to NPA councillor Colleen Hardwick’s populism and periodic opposition to densification. Others have been irritated by Green councillor Michael Wiebe’s occasional willingness to side with the mayor rather than with members of his own party on densification.
