“The federal government should also strengthen oversight of charitable organizations with confirmed links to extremist activity and ensure digital platforms face meaningful consequences when they consistently facilitate organized hate and incitement. On top of that, a systematic overhaul of the Criminal Code and bail system is urgently needed.” 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.
