Abstract
Abstract Over the last two decades, traditionally minded historians have argued that the rise of social and cultural history has fragmented Canadian history and caused the decline of Canadian political history. Despite these claims, current Canadian political history is proving to be a dynamic field that embraces the methodological and theoretical innovations of social and cultural history by incorporating gender, class, race and ethnicity as categories of analysis to create a “new political history.” However, the “new political history” in Canada has neglected to integrate the history of ideas. Studying the history of ideas in Canadian political history could expand the discipline beyond the current trends that include highly individualised political biography and studies emphasising politics, the state and ideology within Ian McKay's potentially reductive liberal order framework. Supplementing the “new political history” with the history of ideas, influenced by the work of Michael Freeden, would allow innovative analyses of institutional and popular politics to accompany the voices of elite political figures.

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
