“Health Canada is by no means some passive support system for provinces who decide to open injection sites. It has its own agenda, and what's quite clear is that it doesn't feel obligated to follow its provincial dance partners' footsteps, as our health minister suggests, nor does it seem particularly moved by communities opposed to them because of legitimate safety concerns.” 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.
