“In 2017, the newly elected NDP cancelled a bridge where early work was already underway. That bridge would have opened in 2024 at a cost of $3 billion. Instead, the NDP chose a costlier, environmentally challenging tunnel with a 2021 budget at $4.15 billion.” 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.
