“If we are serious about addressing the housing crisis, the province must reverse course and restore stable investment into affordable housing, create a provincial sales tax exemption for non-profits and honour commitments already made.” 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.
