Join researchers on a tricky night mission to find out why. … Article written by Sarah Cox. Megan Buers is dodging potholes on a labyrinth of logging roads on northern Vancouver Island, hoping for a late-night rendezvous with a western screech owl. "He's the Brad Pitt of the screech owl world," says Buers, a wildlife biologist. In avian lingo, that means this particular owl is a muscular and meaty example of his species, with rakish plumage. So far, Buers has seen the owl — but not yet managed to fit him with a transmitter for tracking. En route to the spot where they last glimpsed Brad Pitt, Buers and her research technician Reese Embree stop and roll down the windows of their dusty Subaru Outback. They crank up a speaker and point it at a band of mature trees a logging company has left standing along the Memekay River in the Campbell River watershed. A western screech owl call plays: Hooot hooot hooot hoot-hoot-hoot-hoot. They listen intently to see if they get a response, and then hit play again. The rhythm and cadence of the call resembles a ping-pong ball bouncing to a stop. It's definitely not a screech. "Nothing," Buers says, shaking her head. The dashing owl in question is part of a mystery that Buers hopes to help solve. Western screech owls are disappearing from B.C.'s coast — and nobody is quite sure why. Thirty years ago, screech owls hatched their fluffy white chicks in at least a dozen parks in the Lower Mainland, including Stanley Park and Pacific Spirit Park. If you grabbed binoculars and a flashlight and went owling in Greater Victoria, you'd be more likely to encounter a western screech owl than any other owl species. "You used to get them in your backyard," Buers says. "You'd hear anecdotal tales from folks in Nanaimo that they used to literally have them on their back porch." Today, it's rare to find a screech owl in urban areas. In the mid-1990s, 10 screech owl pairs nested on the University of Victoria's campus. Last year, birders found only "one lonely male, calling where a pair used to nest." Elsewhere on the coast, screech owl populations are in sharp decline, and the owl is now threatened with extinction in B.C. "We know they like to nest in big trees," Buers says. "Outside of that, we don't really know what they need." Her research, for a PhD at the University of British Columbia Okanagan, aims to find out if western screech owls require old trees and mature forests for other reasons, including to find prey. Are screech owls more abundant in old-growth forests? And how does that compare to managed landscapes like replanted woods? "What is it that they need? Something easy that's not going to impact forestry too much, but would benefit biodiversity greatly?" Buers asks. "Right now, we don't know." Tonight, Buers is hoping to catch Brad Pitt and outfit him in a "little pair of pants" attached to a transmitter the size of a small beetle, with two tiny antennas, that might provide some clues about how far he flies and where he roams. A lot of personality Catching a western screech owl is part reconnaissance, part luck and a lot of chicanery. The idea is to trick Brad into thinking another male screech owl has invaded his territory. "He'll come swooping in," Buers says. She parks near a weedy, disused logging road, close to the spot where she and Embree found Brad Pitt last night. She's pretty sure he and a lady friend are nesting nearby, in a grove of ...

    Dystopian 'Macbeth' Takes On Climate Change, Morality and Power

    Director Stephen Drover confronts today's social anxieties in his Bard on the Beach adaptation of Shakespeare's dark, violent tragedy. … Article written by Bard on the Beach. Shakespeare isn't timeless — at least, that's not the philosophy that director Stephen Drover took when it came to his production of Macbeth at Bard on the Beach this summer. "There is something about Macbeth that is very much of Shakespeare's time," says Drover. "In prepping for this production, I've paid more attention to the conditions under which it was first written than I have for any other Shakespeare play I've worked on." One of Shakespeare's best-known and bloodiest tragedies, Macbeth follows the story of a victorious general who receives a prophecy telling him that he will become king. With the encouragement of his wife, Macbeth murders King Duncan and seizes the crown, before descending into paranoia as he tries to hold on to his throne. It is a play about succession and the transfer of power, written during a time when that was at the forefront of societal concern. By the late 16th century and into the early 17th century, Queen Elizabeth was growing older and she had no children, nor had she named an heir. At the same time, it could be deemed an act of sedition to publicly discuss who the next monarch could be. "Shakespeare wrote prolifically about the rise and fall of kings," says Drover. "He set his stories in other lands and other times, far away from Elizabeth's court, yet similar enough that audiences could feel that their concerns were valid. They effectively served to rehearse a social anxiety. "As I approached this production, I thought about what our social anxieties were today. Climate change. Moral decay. A dystopian future. What happens when somebody who has a great deal of power acts on their own whim. I think Macbeth addresses those concerns to some degree, if set in the right place." Starring Munish Sharma as Macbeth and Tess Degenstein as Lady Macbeth, Drover's adaptation imagines Shakespeare's tragedy for a contemporary audience. Instead of medieval Scotland, we are in the near future, in a post-urban society salvaged from the rubble of an earth-shattering event. Dunsinane is now a sterile bunker, a safe space where the Macbeths are isolated from the contamination of the toxic outside world. There are no swords that might evoke the idea of a valiant death, only brute force. Macbeth seeks to evoke real fear. "My aesthetic is to pair the heightened language with a psychological and filmic realism that makes us believe this is actually happening," says Drover. "In doing so, I think Macbeth can let us walk beside our fears — and give us permission to confront them." Macbeth runs June 11 to Sept. 18 on the BMO Mainstage at Sen̓áḵw/Vanier Park. Bard on the Beach's full 2026 season runs June 9 to Sept. 19 and features 'The Merry Wives of Windsor,' 'Macbeth,' 'Goblin:Oedipus' and 'Antigone.' Tickets start at $30. For more information and to buy tickets, visit Bard on the Beach's website.

    Post-Secondary Is in Crisis. A New Report Proposes a Fix

    The province should cover 75 per cent of operations funding for colleges and universities, BC Policy Solutions says. … Article written by Katie Hyslop. Four years after the province announced a review of the public post-secondary funding formula, the Vancouver Community College Faculty Association got tired of waiting. Last fall they commissioned BC Policy Solutions to write their own report, with a focus they did not trust the province's long-awaited review would take: reinvesting into public colleges and universities. The review comes as post-secondary schools across Canada are struggling financially after dramatic federal government cuts to the number of international students they can accept. With 19 out of 25 B.C. institutions reporting a collective $300-million annual budget shortfall, the VCC Faculty Association report argues the B.C. government should treat public post-secondary education as public infrastructure by funding at least 75 per cent of their annual operating costs. At the same time, B.C. should maintain the two per cent cap on increases to domestic tuition, while introducing a similar cap for international student tuition increases. The report also calls on the province to work with Indigenous leaders and communities towards designing a decolonized post-secondary education system. "There's been no vision or master plan for post-secondary in B.C.," said Frank Cosco, president of the Vancouver Community College Faculty Association. Nor has there been significant investment in the schools, Cosco added, especially at the college level, including Vancouver Community College, since the Ujjal Dosanjh-led NDP government in 2000 to 2001. "Seventy-five per cent is arbitrary. Please, give us something," he said. "There should be a royal commission, like the McDonald [report] in the late '60s, early '70s that set up the system in B.C." Since the federal government announced a reduction and cap on international student visas in early 2024, the province's public institutions have cut 180 programs and laid off 1,300 faculty and "countless support staff," the report says. Forty-five student services have also ceased operations. While research universities like the University of British Columbia — with its $6.9-billion endowment — have significant savings to rely on, it's the teaching universities and community colleges that have been hardest hit. Langara College has had the most layoffs, with a loss of over 200 faculty members, and the suspension or cancellation of three programs. Other colleges and teaching universities have lost fewer staff members but cut or suspended more programs: 35 programs at Capilano University, 32 at Vancouver Island University and 26 at North Island College. Véronique Sioufi, author of the report and BC Policy Solutions' racial equity researcher and policy analyst, estimates it would cost the province about half a billion dollars annually to stabilize B.C.'s public post-secondary institutions. But she argues it would be money wisely spent. "It would be a boost to the economy at many local levels, particularly for rural communities" with public post-secondary institutions, Sioufi said, adding that increasing progressive taxation levels would cover the costs. "I spoke to almost 28 people, not counting all of the literature that I looked at. And there's not a lot of conflict here. I would say there's quite a bit of consensus." How did we get here? When public B.C. student and faculty associations talk about funding issues in B.C., they will tell you provincial funding was 90 per cent of institutions' operating budgets in the 1970s. Today government funding is 40 per cent of public institutions' operating budgets. But the VCC Faculty Association report, called "Rebuilding Post-Secondary Education as Public Infrastructure in B.C.," goes back much further, to the first University Endowment Act in 1907 that established funding for UBC by selling two million acres of unceded land. Then, post-Second W...

    Unplug the Anti-Indigenous Fear Machine in Victoria

    Question period is the wrong place to discuss rights and title. The NDP can choose a better way. … Article written by Adam Olsen. British Columbia is one of the most remarkably diverse places in North America. The province celebrates its ecologic biodiversity as "Super, Natural," and Destination BC posters use the mountains, oceans and forests to draw visitors from around the world. But the provincial territory is much more than its ecological splendour. What is often undervalued in the story we tell of British Columbia is how it is home to more than 35 distinct Indigenous languages, and dozens of legal orders and governance traditions. All told, British Columbia is an unparalleled mosaic of cultural and linguistic diversity. Recently, the tenor of conversations in media, on Facebook and among politicians has encouraged British Columbians to see this diversity as a threat. But it is actually our collective inherited wealth. Viewing Crown-Indigenous relations from an abundance mindset addressing the outstanding land question offers us a way to see the more spectacular story of what British Columbia could fully become. Manufactured crisis and escalating rhetoric The British Columbia legislative assembly has now adjourned for the summer. Unfortunately, the centre for politics in our province has turned into an engine of anti-Indigenous racism. Some members have chosen to use the chamber, and the iconic building, as a content farm for the social media outrage machine. I, and others, have written extensively on how Crown-Indigenous relations have deteriorated over the past several months. This is the result of a variety of reasons including a lack of broad public awareness of British Columbia's history, the evolving Indigenous law through key B.C. Supreme Court and Court of Appeal decisions, and a B.C. Conservative Opposition party that decided that rather than focus on the overlapping social, environmental and economic crises facing our province, they would use their time to persistently attack Indigenous rights and title. But the problem is that recent court decisions did not create a crisis. Instead, they exposed the reality of the "Indian land question" that was already lurking under the splendid facade that British Columbia has constructed and maintained every day since the province joined Confederation. By treating the current conditions as a crisis, the provincial government escalated and reinforced the fearmongering rhetoric of the opposition parties. Depoliticizing Indigenous rights and title Question period is not the right venue for elected leaders to investigate, prosecute and defend Indigenous rights and title in British Columbia. For the past two years the B.C. Conservative and OneBC opposition parties have used their precious 30 minutes at the start of every day of the legislative session to hammer reconciliation and relentlessly attack the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, or DRIPA. But question period creates political heat — not public policy resolution. In my experience, select standing committees are a much more appropriate space to undertake work that requires a more precise and surgical response in good public policy-making. No matter who sits in the premier's chair, they will confront the reality of Crown-Indigenous relations. No single party should feel they carry the full weight of the issue, nor should they take sole credit for reconciliatory efforts. The cross-party work of parliamentary committees removes the responsibility from any one political party. They report to the whole legislative assembly through clear terms of reference, and it is a space where they can inform their work by inviting the testimony of historians, constitutional experts, academics, First Nations leaders and community members. Their reports are consensus-based, reflecting only what all members can find agreement on. There is no other space in the legislature that reflects this approach. The Aboriginal affairs...

    Condo Glut? Turn Unsold Units into Social Housing

    Rather than subsidizing condo buyers and investors, governments should acquire and convert units into co-ops. … Article written by Yuly Chan. As condominium sales across Canada fall to their lowest levels in decades, what if unsold units could be repurposed for the public good? Governments should purchase and convert them into much-needed social housing, which includes public, social and co-operative housing, where rents are set at no more than 30 per cent of a tenant's income. Toronto and Vancouver face the largest glut of new condos still looking for buyers, with an estimated 20,000 listings in Toronto and 2,500 in Vancouver across all stages of development. Misplaced incentives The federal and Ontario governments have introduced a number of incentives to attract condo buyers, including a one-year break on the 13-per-cent HST on new homes priced up to $1 million. The Ontario program offers rebates up to $130,000 for homes valued up to $1.5 million, as well as measures allowing municipalities to eliminate development charges. However, these measures — which will cost the federal and provincial governments more than $2 billion — are misplaced and are only making the housing-affordability crisis worse. They are designed to entice Canadians to take on more mortgage debt in order to save a floundering condo market in a country where average household debt is already the highest in the G7. Developers and investors are not facing an affordability crisis, yet governments are treating them as if they are — shifting costs onto taxpayers to protect the profit margins of private interests. The players best positioned to benefit from these measures — developers, corporate landlords and institutional investors — are already starting to use these incentives to acquire unsold condos at depressed prices to turn a profit when the market rebounds. One Montreal-based company recently announced its plan to buy up $500 million worth of unsold condos in Toronto. A better use of public funds Why should governments spend billions of taxpayer dollars subsidizing private investors? And where are the incentives to persuade developers to convert such units into purpose-built rentals or even affordable housing? The federal government and the provinces should be using that money to purchase unsold condos and presale contracts and turn them into badly needed social housing. It makes more sense to waive the HST specifically for units designated as social housing rather than offer blanket tax breaks to a wide swath of private buyers, many of whom do not need assistance from tax dollars. The new federal agency Build Canada Homes, launched in September 2025, is well suited to acquire, develop and lease land to fulfill its mandate of accelerating the construction of affordable housing across the country. This could be acquiring a suite of condo units or entire condo buildings and selling or leasing them to co-operatives and non-profit housing providers. Build Canada Homes can also work with municipalities to support acquiring, renovating and refinancing condos for social housing. Put the focus on social housing The emphasis on social housing — rather than affordable housing — is crucial. Unlike social housing, affordable housing could mean privately managed units in a large condominium complex, perhaps with reduced amenities like smaller gyms and common spaces, or sometimes with separate entrances for owners and market renters. But ironically, these units are hardly "affordable." Rents are not geared to income but rather are typically set at 80 per cent of market rates that many people have no hope of paying. So, affordable housing offers neither a public nor a scalable solution that can lift entire communities from the housing crisis. Instead, it has enabled more condo development, especially on federal and city-owned land in prime urban areas. Using policy to build affordable housing first emerged in 2001 through the Affordable Housing Initiative, a federa...

    Two of My Fellow MLAs Are Charged with Assault. Bar Them Now

    Jordan Kealy and Hon Chan should be on leave from BC's legislature. I've written a bill to require it. … Article written by Amelia Boultbee. I am proud to be the Independent MLA for Penticton-Summerland. In British Columbia's legislature, MLA Jordan Kealy, who last week was charged with sexual assault, sits directly to my left. Directly to my right sits MLA Hon Chan, who has been arrested and charged with domestic violence, specifically choking. Both MLAs deny the charges against them and are entitled to the presumption of innocence until those charges have been tested in court. However, I'm calling on Kealy and Chan to go to the Speaker and ask for the government to find a way to allow them to take a paid leave of absence until these criminal matters are cleared. I am a survivor of sexual assault, so this hits home. But this is not about me. This is about the people we MLAs are sworn to serve. I call on these two legislators to step away at this time, not because I am prejudging their guilt or innocence. I do so with their constituents in mind. How can survivors of sexual violence be comfortable seeking assistance from an MLA facing charges of domestic violence or sexual assault? How can anyone in their ridings now fully trust them to act honourably on their behalf? Both these men, who now sit as Independents, came into the legislature via the Conservative Party of BC. Chan was ousted from the Conservative caucus after he was charged, but he remains a member of the party. Some political conservatives talk a big game about law and order and protecting women until it's their guys who have been arrested. Then we get crickets. The Conservative Party of BC's new leader, Kerry-Lynne Findlay, who very recently gleefully accepted an endorsement from Kealy, has simply deleted all her social media posts with him and said nothing. MLA Trevor Halford, who until days ago was the leader, has done nothing to revoke MLA Chan's Conservative Party of BC membership. Mine was cancelled for taking a bill to committee. If we want to signal to society, to our constituents, to women, to survivors that we think violence against women is a serious thing, we need to start acting like it. At the local government level, if someone faces criminal charges they are automatically placed on a mandatory leave of absence pending the outcome. Why should it be any different at the provincial level? All the same logic applies, so why this loophole? Friends, I dream of a world where we should never have to have this conversation. I dream of a world where elected officials charged with violence and crimes against women and sex crimes are automatically barred from the house until the court has adjudicated. I dream of a world where 37 per cent of women in B.C. have not been sexually assaulted since the age of 15 — the largest percentage of any province. I dream of a world where the solution, instead of merely instructing women to protect themselves, is to teach men not to beat and rape and assault. I dream of a world where prison sentences when people are convicted are longer than the usual today, which essentially is a handful of months. And I refuse to give up on that world. I worry, as well, what signal the current loophole benefiting Kealy and Chan and any other MLA who might face criminal charges sends to citizens. I see too many people losing faith in our system of governance. I see some politicians exploiting that frustration by rage farming and saying the system is broken. I see our democracy under stress. For all these reasons, I will be asking the government to take extraordinary measures to bring the province into alignment with the laws at the local level by requiring that any MLA charged with a serious crime be removed from their role until judgment is rendered. If that does not succeed, I have prepared a private member's bill for the fall session that would close the same loophole. Please join me in emailing the Opposition by sending an email to Trevo...

    'The Cedar Mother': An Interview with Brett Huson 'The Cedar Mother': An Interview with Brett Huson

HighWater Press YesterdayThe Tyee 8 Jun 2026 Our journalism is supported by readers like you. Click here to support The Tyee. URL copied to clipboard! SHARE: 68 SHARES 0 0 Comments / 0 New The celebrated Gitxsan author discusses his award-winning Mothers of Xsan series. … Article written by HighWater Press. The Cedar Mother — the last instalment in the Mothers of Xsan series by Gitxsan author Hetxw'ms Gyetxw, also known as Brett D. Huson — is a beautifully illustrated non-fiction book that invites young readers aged 9 to 12 to explore the hidden mysteries of the cedar tree life cycle, offering lessons in interconnectedness and in wisdom passed down through generations. Read on to hear the author reflect back on his celebrated children's series. What inspired the Mothers of Xsan series? Brett Huson: When I was a kid, I never saw myself as a Gitxsan person reflected out in the world in any positive light. But I grew up in a Nation battling to protect our land through roadblocks, and I saw our people being pushed into Canada's court systems through Delgamuukw. I spent a lot of my youth out on the land in those roadblocks, and I learned a lot, just like any other Gitxsan does when we are with our people on the land. I saw experts, practitioners and researchers at work, each of them carrying specific bits of knowledge. I naturally gravitated toward ecology and tried to learn as much as I could about the natural cycles that were part of our governance, legal systems and structures. The Gitxsan formulated laws and histories that are directly tied to all the life cycles within our territories. To do so, we had to have a deep understanding of animal behaviour, the interconnectedness of species and how each contributed to our world. When I was a child, I listened to our Elders talk about how the salmon fed the land. They explained that we held ceremonies for the returning salmon runs because we understood that respecting them and recognizing our dependence on them as law was integral to protecting our future. When I was in high school, I read The Sacred Balance by David Suzuki. It was the first time I read a book that used storytelling from the perspective of the species while also connecting the story to scientific understanding. I later discovered that David wrote this book because he was inspired by a Haida leader named Guujaaw. That book gave me a model I could use to start telling our own stories from the perspective of keystone species within our territories. I wanted to share our knowledge, but more importantly, I wanted young people across the country to understand something that they don't learn in school, something many Gitxsan learn at a very young age: we are nothing without the land. The series, which has included frog, bee, raven, wolf, eagle, grizzly and salmon mothers, is coming to a close with the cedar, which seems to be a centrepiece of the ecosystem the series promotes. What other aspects of Mothers of Xsan do you hope people will notice? There is no real centrepiece in our Nation. Our life cycles, governance systems, stories and laws are all determined by the bigger picture. I share the names of the moons in each book, as we follow a lunar calendar, but I hope this is more of a marker for our time. Our Nation will have to sit down together sooner or later to rename some of these moons because of our rapidly changing climate. Their names are more reflective of the cycles that existed when I was a kid. My hope is that this series inspires young people to learn about the land where they live, discover how it connects to their survival and find out how they can have a more positive impact on that land. Let's talk about the production of this series. What were some of the challenges or unexpected dialogues that came out of its creation? Do you have a favourite book i...

    Preston Manning's Not-So-Secret Game Plan

    The separatist threat will bring endless, changing demands to increase Alberta's power. … Article written by David Climenhaga. Just a darn minute there, Canada! Preston Manning wants you to know another pipeline or two isn't going to cut the mustard. You're going to have to fork over more — we Albertans will decide more of what later. Probably federal jurisdiction. Sovereignty, ya know! This just in, thanks to an obsequious little screed masquerading as news about Manning's views on Alberta's separation referendum in the National Post, a publication that's been light on analysis and hard on spin since 1998. On Tuesday the Post quoted the superannuated godfather of the Canadian right explaining that "the question with respect to remain is: Remain and do what? That's the question that the remain people have to answer." "It means remain and push this sovereignty option within the federation," he asserted. And remember, thanks to the magic of international trade agreements, especially with the United States, more sovereignty for provinces like Alberta means less sovereignty for Canada. Ergo, Manning continued, "there's a number of other things the federal government could do if it wants to address the root cause of that alienation. Simply building a pipeline is not the complete answer." This is the game plan Manning spelled out to Danielle Smith in 2021 at that Red Deer conference put on by the misnamed Canada Strong and Free Network, the rebranded version of what was previously known as the Manning Centre. Inappropriately wearing an Order of Canada pin on his chest, Manning smugly told the audience that "fear of the United States can be a factor in federal provincial relations." He continued: "What if Alberta did actually secede? There will be an offer from the United States for Alberta to become the 51st state. And why will that offer be made? It will be made because the United States would like to get a hold of the second- or third-largest source of petroleum in the world. That is why it will be made." "Now when that finally sinks in to Ottawa," Manning paused, obviously pleased with himself... "Do they want that to happen? Or do they have to say, 'Maybe we have to do something, to keep that energy sector and its development in Canada,' and to accede to some of these other demands." Manning concluded his homily with another question: "Is there some way that fear of the United States can be used as a lever to get some of the things that the West needs to have addressed?" The answer, in Manning's opinion, was obviously yes. I know I've printed this before, but it deserves to be hammered home that this is how Manning operates, and his strategy has clearly influenced the tactics adopted by Smith and the United Conservative Party to blackmail Ottawa into, in effect, making Alberta a superprovince that rules all the others in a new Confederation designed to make Canada as much as possible like the United States. Nor is this the only time Manning has trotted out this kind of thing. Who can forget his warning last spring that if the Liberals under Prime Minister Mark Carney won again, Alberta might take its ball and go home. "Large numbers of Westerners simply will not stand for another four years of Liberal government, no matter who leads it," he asserted in an op-ed in the pages of the Globe and Mail. Or to put that another way, no matter how many Canadians, including in Alberta, vote for it. "The support for Western secession is therefore growing, unabated and even fuelled by Liberal promises to reverse many of their previous positions," he said. "Such promises of expediency simply don't ring true in the West. Who, except the most politically naive, would believe Mark Carney's promises to reverse the Liberal positions on everything from east-west pipelines to identity politics and climate change, when standing behind him is a cabinet of 23 MPs who, just a month ago, were advocating for the very opposite and have done so for years...
