Where this writer stands
Energy3 pieces
Restrict new oil and gasExpand production and export
“But our prime minister says now is not the time for action. Instead he rolls out plans to double the climate change causing pollution spewed by the oil and gas industry — to be paid for with Canadian tax dollars mostly for the benefit of U.S.-based investors.” Read the piece
Climate3 pieces
Faster fossil phase-downSlower phase-down, production first
“The severity of the impacts and the even greater threat of what is to come mean that governments must use their regulatory powers now to accelerate the energy transition.” Read the piece
Housing1 piece
Public supply and demand controlsMarket supply and deregulation
“In place of regulations that have prevented midrise buildings (think four storeys with six apartments), we can anticipate that cities and towns will recognize that the housing crisis will be partly solved by encouraging more of this type of building.” 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.
