Trade1 piece

Diversify away from one partnerDeeper continental integration
“Resolving the trade issues with the United States — an economy that actually enjoys significant growth — should be the priority. Painful as though that may be given the offensive and unpleasant language targeted at Canada recently, it is just a fact that no flirtation or fluttering of eyelashes at the EU can in anyway compensate for the trading relationship to the south.” Read the piece

Federalism1 piece

Ottawa leadsProvinces lead
“Those who represent "establishment" Canada would do well before opening their mouths to pooh pooh separatism or to intervene in the forthcoming referendum to learn the lessons of the Remain campaigns in both the Scottish and Brexit referenda, so as to ensure that their contributions don't fuel those who want to break Alberta off from this fairly good experiment we call Canada!” Read the piece

Public safety1 piece

Prevention and restraintEnforcement and sentencing
“Voters should support Mayor Ken Sim's proposal to end open air drug use and to seek involuntary treatment beds” Read the piece

Immigration1 piece

Higher permanent intakeLower intake
“Membership means agreeing in principle to adopting the Euro, a common foreign policy, accepting unlimited immigration from 27 countries, all of whose citizens must be treated as if they were Canadians in terms of access to housing, health services, benefits, schools and universities. Good luck with that!” Read the piece

Only opinion columns and editorials are scored. Each piece is read twice by a language model, which records the author's own stance on a policy topic only where the piece argues one, with a quote that must appear in the piece. An author's position on a topic is the average of their pieces, weighted by the model's confidence. News reporting is listed but never scored.
