Where else in the world would a PM/President sincerely ask citizens for their thoughts and agree with and thank them?

Yeah, but they were a bit shy and probably would've said more. You'll recall the vaunted "Town Hall" events that occurred during Obama/Biden that were totally bogus. IMO, it's easy to see that the whole philosophy of governance differs greatly.

I really appreciate the consultation with people living in this region, and the careful planning.

There seems to be tremendous opportunities in that region. I immediately thought of the men who are participating in the SMO now and the opportunity they have once their obligations are fulfilled. There is much potential.

Years ago when I was very young a number of my uncles took their families and moved to Alaska to work on the pipeline when it was being built. They all ended up doing very well throughout the years. Seems like a similar situation...as you rightly point out.
