Abstract
The result in Symes v. Canada is troubling on a number of levels. The failure to challenge the long-standing social norms associated with gender roles and the division of labour in the household and the lack of acknowledgment of the public good of caring for children continue to cast a long shadow on the struggle for women’s equality. At the same time, the tax rules at issue in the case afford only a narrow opportunity to recognize the important connection between women’s inequality and society’s continued failure to ensure that women do not bear unfair burdens as an incident of motherhood. Nor does the claim give rise to a comprehensive solution to the urgent need for publicly funded high-quality childcare and the undervaluing of the work of childcare providers. The case was controversial within the women’s movement in Canada for precisely these reasons. My aim in re-casting Symes was to fully address the substantive equality concerns in this case, which I see as a limited but important opportunity to press for the reconstruction of tax systems and employment systems so that they fully reflect women’s realities as well as men’s. I have a personal interest in Symes because I served as co-counsel with J.J. Camp, Q.C., to the intervenor, the Canadian Bar Association, in the Supreme Court of Canada. It was my first major equality rights case. The Women’s Court of Canada project has provided me with an opportunity to explore my initial sense of outrage at, and long-simmering dissatisfaction with, the majority decision in a concrete, disciplined fashion. More importantly, it was a chance to develop an equality analysis that can discern and address the structural, as opposed to the biological, dimensions of women’s inequality. I took seriously the structure and authoritative voice necessitated by the judgment format. While I wrote with a heightened sense of responsibility for every word, I thoroughly enjoyed the exercise. At a conceptual level, I wanted to explore the role of Canadian courts in advancing social justice through the adjudication of equality rights claims. My starting point is that Canadian governments have repeatedly committed themselves to equality through ratification of international human rights instruments and the adoption and gradual strengthening of domestic human rights legislation. The Canadian Constitution is the cornerstone to this

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
