“Toronto city council this week took a small step toward reasonableness — or a huge leap towards urban hellscape, as the doomsayers warn — by voting overwhelmingly to allow small businesses tucked inside residential areas to open and, gasp, pour a latte, sell a sandwich, vend retail products even, right smack in the middle of residential street grids.” 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.
