INFOSLIDE 1: As an example, authorities in the French & Swiss Alps largely follow pro-development policies/norms which encourage comparatively widespread human enjoyment of parks. Infrastructure is made to increase, rather than restrict the number of visitors to the backcountry (e.g. numerous backcountry huts that allow access to all sorts of mountainous terrain are common, development of tourist attractions like Gondolas and ski resorts is substantially increased, investment is made into increasing public transport/access, and building limitations in towns are not as stringent as in Canada). Trails are highly developed and numerous, and access to the backcountry is made easy.

INFOSLIDE 2: In Canada, preservationist policies/norms limit development. Projects to build resorts/lifts must undergo highly restrictive review processes, development in towns is more strictly limited (e.g. commercial/residential buildings in Banff have highly restrictive use-density regulations), and huts and trails making access to the backcountry viable are comparatively limited by policy and norms alike.

Utilitarianism is the belief that pleasure and pain are the only things that are intrinsically good and bad, and doing the right thing simply means maximizing net utility (where utility is the sum total of all pleasure minus the sum total of all pain). Concepts like fairness, justice, rights, duties, virtue, autonomy, and human dignity are not intrinsically important to a utilitarian, and instead are valued only insofar as they are conducive to pleasure and help avoid pain.

The term "CanCon" is short for "Canadian content." CanCon laws are a set of regulations that require Canadian radio and television broadcasters to include a minimum percentage of Canadian content in their programming. CanCon laws are enforced by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). On April 27th, The Online Streaming Act passed into law in Canada, expanding CanCon regulations and the CRTC's oversight to internet platforms like YouTube, Netflix, and Disney+.

Zoning refers to municipal or local laws or regulations that govern how real property can and cannot be used in certain geographic areas.

The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) is a free trade agreement between 11 countries in the Asia-Pacific region: Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam. The agreement aims to reduce trade barriers and increase economic integration among member countries. The CPTPP was signed in March 2018 and came into force on December 30, 2018.

In September 2021, China applied to join the CPTPP; less than a week later, Taiwan did the same. Neither nation has yet been approved. Accession to the agreement requires consensus from existing members.
