Where this writer stands

Immigration2 pieces

Higher permanent intakeLower intake
“Here was a model for how all countries could be — embracing newcomers with open arms, people who just wanted to live in peace, people who would work hard without expecting a free ride because Canada offered a life so much better than the one they had fled.” Read the piece

Foreign affairs1 piece

Alliance restraintAssertive alliances and sanctions
“In the midst of our turbulent national night, our current Prime Minister has dreamed for us that vision of a better world. It is a world in which Canada, along with like-minded countries, forge new alliances — economic alliances, immigration alliances, military alliances, scientific alliances, policy alliances — so that together all will be better equipped to withstand the turbulence of the agitated, sleep-destroying elephant.” 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.
