Where this writer stands

Defence1 piece

Restrain spending and deploymentsHigher spending and more capability
“re-grounding U.S.-Canada trade in a broader deal would see the stock of Canadian direct investment in the U.S. increase by $450 billion over 5 years, and more than $1 trillion over ten years, unlock major Canadian defence spending, strengthen America's northern border, help keep China at bay” Read the piece

Foreign affairs1 piece

Alliance restraintAssertive alliances and sanctions
“Having abruptly abandoned solidarity with the U.S. against Chinese EVs, Carney's call to maintain an integrated North American auto market and to "compete with the rest of the world together" must ring hollow in the White House.” Read the piece

Trade1 piece

Diversify away from one partnerDeeper continental integration
“Canada and the U.S. should come back to the table and strike a new deal, not over trade issues alone, but a grand bargain across a broad set of issues on matters including trade, defence, agriculture and national security that would meet the needs of both countries.” 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.
