Vancouver politics, issue by issue.

Not what they promised — what they actually did. Every position here is derived from a recorded council vote, with the roll call attached. Where there's no vote, we say so.

2,164council decisions this term
82%passed unanimously
23,368individual votes on record
98candidates on the 2026 ballot

That middle number is the point. Most of what your council does is not controversial at all. The arguments you hear about are a sliver of the work — and some of the decisions that affect you most passed without a single vote against.
