‘Are you kidding me?’: B.C. sanctions shooting, logging in endangered spotted owl habitat (thenarwhal.ca)

Only one spotted owl remains in Canada’s wild. The B.C. government says it is committed to recovering the species, even as it approves new clearcuts and recreational shooting in a Fraser Valley wildlife area set aside for the owl.

I don't understand how people keep acting surprized that "elected" leaders (John Horgan is an example here but let's get real, they all do it) run on a campaign of "saving natureTM" and then backpedal, shill, and eventually end up with jobs in the resource extraction sector. Like when do people come to understand that the vote harder culture is not working? Maybe next election cycle? Or the one after that? I don't have kids but if I did, would I hold out hope for 16 years until real change kicks in? 24? 28?

I knew Horgan would do it -- he was trying to court old BC Liberal voters, and because it's BC the NDP are basically the Liberals, but I had really hoped Eby would back out of it.

Goddamnit.
