Vancouver’s mayor and his party are about to see a referendum on their job performance as they face a double by-election after the resignation of a second left-of-centre councillor.The departure of longtime Green Party councillor Adriane Carr this week leaves council with a gaping hole on the left. Ms. Carr, who has been elected since 2011, is retiring months after Christine Boyle, the sole councillor for OneCity, won an NDP seat in the fall provincial election.
