“Canada's human-rights priorities must be non-negotiable in relation to Beijing. But if Ottawa drops all talk of human rights this round – as it appears set to do – it will be building a bilateral relationship out of sand.” 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.
