Where this writer stands

Energy1 piece

Restrict new oil and gasExpand production and export
“Canada can't afford to invest more public money into sectors where we're not competitive. Yet, the Carney government has prioritized doubling the foreign-owned LNG Canada export terminal, calling it a nation-building project.” Read the piece

Climate1 piece

“All forms of clean energy are cheaper if we include the costs of fossil-fuel-induced climate change, which are already putting Canadians on the hook for more than $100 billion annually to cover the social costs of carbon using Ottawa's 2025 rate, after accounting for the oil-and-gas sector's $71 billion GDP contribution.” 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.
