Abstract
This paper critically examines judicial decisions not to apply the Canadian Charter of Rights to the detention of prisoners by Canadian Forces in Afghanistan given allegations of torture and to reverse a remedy that Canada should request the US to repatriate a Canadian held at Guantanamo Bay. It also examines the Supreme Court's decision to apply the Charter to Omar Khadr's interrogation by Canadian officials at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba but to reverse a trial judge's decision that Canada must request Khadr's repatriation as the appropriate remedy for the unconstitutional interrogation. The paper concludes that the Supreme Court's reversal of the repatriation remedy and its refusal to hear the Afghan detainee case cannot be justified on normative or prudential grounds such as those defended by constitutional theorist Alexander Bickel.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
