“Supporting new fire halls and fleet equipment will be critical in this next budget cycle, because we cannot accept unnecessary risk and inequitable services for Edmontonians.” 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.
