Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The neoliberal rhetoric of free trade offers rosy pictures of a “flat world,” a “level playing field” in which freedom may bloom thanks to the removal of restrictions and barriers. In their discussion of Canada’s decision to establish a bilateral free trade agreement with Colombia, Teresa Healy and Sheila Katz expose the harsh reality of power politics underlying the rhetoric of freedom. They show that the deal with Colombia is part of a new state strategy in which Canada, as a junior partner of the United States, is forging and exporting a new investment regime inspired by NAFTA, but within a framework of enhanced so-called security measures that seriously limit human rights and democratic freedoms.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
