“Legal and health policy experts have been clear: Alberta's two-tier legislation violates the Canada Health Act, and will worsen access for Canadians who remain in the public system.” 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.
