Where this writer stands

Trade3 pieces

Diversify away from one partnerDeeper continental integration
“The only way forward is to diversify and become more self-reliant. We cannot completely wean ourselves away from the U.S., of course, but if we give them less leverage over us, we can make the consequences of their behaviour less damaging to us.” Read the piece

Foreign affairs1 piece

Alliance restraintAssertive alliances and sanctions
“It is a call for political leaders to insist that such exchanges be much more carefully structured, to strengthen automatic off-ramps such that our Forces will be required to proactively decline to be part of U.S. actions we disagree with.” Read the piece

Defence1 piece

Restrain spending and deploymentsHigher spending and more capability
“In short, if intelligently deployed, a mixed fleet can be a force multiplier. An RCAF fleet of some 30 to 40 F-35s dedicated to the NORAD mission and 70 to 80 Gripens supporting Arctic defence in Canada and also dedicated to NATO, might cost more to operate than an all-F-35 fleet.” 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.
