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.

They are absolutely the lesser of two evils compared to the BC Libs. There are some areas where they don't seem very different, but on the human rights front they're usually a lot better.

That said, I'm surprised they haven't given any increase to disability payments during their tenure. With the rate of inflation it's a necessity for many people.

Oh for sure, I vote them very begrudgingly, and you're right that they are bafflingly silent on Disability benefits. I have a family member on disability and their monthly allowance for rent is like 350 dollars. It's so callously out of date.
