Is there such as thing as a happy-medium approach to policy?
The quick answer is no. There is no way this can be done with policy, because anyone who understands policy knows that to cover all the bases, it will be ripe with contradiction. Let`s just take a look at the recent approach to fast-tracking projects like proposed pipeline projects to the northwest coast. There have already been objections to this, and many other environmental projects that cross first nations territory. The problem is that these objectionists dont want money or construction on their land. They want their land and their privacy. This means that there is nothing to bargain with, and trying to fast track these projects sends the wrong message about cooperation and territorial rights. To build policy around this is an all together different bag of tricks, and is a pretty much must have if you are ever going to get an agreement in any of these territories.
So today we will do a quick run through on happy-medium policy building so objectionists can see the other point of view and perhaps wear a smile at the bargaining table rather than setting up roadblocks.
To explain this, we will take the government`s position of transparency, which is why policy exists, and use this to defend our argument for civil rights and welfare for other Canadians. This should stir some emotions if presented clearly, and can be used as your main bargaining chip at the dealers table. If you showcase how disabilities, and other things that affect all Canadians, not just first nations, and advanced technologies, then these can also be used as advanced trading tools. Introducing new technology has been the basic premise of successful trading, and modern colonialization as we know it. This should be a major tool and showcase how it improves the quality of life and longevity of the populations. Without these in your toolkit, you will be sure to fail, and likely not get another shot for a long time, so pack well, and bring specific businesses in these sectors to expand trade discussions, rather than focusing on one major project. Illustrate how one type of project can help introduce more modern technologies that improve the quality of life through cultural preservation.
There you have it! Everyone wins!
If you haven`t landed the deal yet, then take a focus on education and life opportunities for the citizens of that territory so you can get community buy in across arts, culture, lifestyle and business using an integrated approach to modern growth and modern architecture and new technologies like solar and show transformation plans for communities. Remember to do your homework and you will ace it.
And last but not least…..
There are some lessons in cosmodrome tourism that have presented themselves quite modestly opening themselves to new industry, and business. It is models like these that we should strive to get with.

While Russia continues to lease Baikonur Cosmodrome, it has so far returned over fifty decommissioned facilities to Kazakhstan.
The government now plans to use them to create a vibrant tourism ecosystem, drawing visitors year-round, and not just for rocket launches.
It is planning to develop visitor infrastructure around iconic sites such as Gagarin’s launchpad — the oldest and most famous launch pad at Baikonur, where the world’s first human spaceflight was made by Yuri Gagarin on Vostok 1 in 1961 — with immersive experiences, hotels, glamping facilities, and a children’s camp.
The government has handed oversight of Gagarin’s decommissioned launchpad to its national aerospace committee company, which will now be handling funding, maintenance, and general management, paving the way for tourism development.
