But, as CBC Vancouver's municipal affairs reporter Justin McElroy reports, this week in Vancouver, the question was about councillors not voting at all. "It's not always easy to cast votes … but I think that's why we're there, and I think people expect us to make them," said Coun. Sarah Kirby-Yung, who has been critical of opposition councillors abstaining from a couple of different votes this week. "Abstentions are not a vociferous voice. You're not taking a position." A councillor who abstained from two of those votes defended the importance of abstentions. But the weird truth of Vancouver city hall is that abstaining is taking a legal position — though not the one the public might expect.
