Extreme weather? Find a pair of legit US military "Mickey mouse" boots. I've worn them in 8hr shifts at -20° F and never felt cold.
Just know that they're not work boots. If your husband need something steel toe or with a special sole, these won't work. They're also ugly as sin. But for pure cold weather protection, they're the best I've ever worn by far.
Edit: you may be able to find them cheaper but here's what I'm talking about
Coleman's U.S. G.I. Extreme Cold Temperature Boots, Unissued
Those are nearly the ugliest boots I've ever seen, but they do seem suited to Northern British Columbia, and I can't argue that price, even with the exchange rate.
Absolutely, they're not winning any beauty contests, but as someone who works outdoors year round, they're hands down the warmest boots I've ever worn. I believe there's a V.2 model that's rated for even colder temperatures but I've never tried them
Edit: I believe These are the newer models rated for -60°F
We call those bunny boots here in Alaska. They used to be white, at least most of the ones I've seen were. You could get them from military surplus stores regularly 20 years ago, but I think the new black ones maybe aren't an actual military issue?
I believe the white ones are the Arctic V.2 versions that were developed later and can withstand even colder temperatures than the earlier, black V.1s that I linked
