“The threat to block the bridge's opening as "leverage" for broader trade disputes — whether over dairy, liquor, or Canada's engagement with China — is not a course of action that I believe is appropriate.” 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.
