The Supreme Court's Understanding of the Democratic Self-Government, Advancement of Truth and Knowledge and Individual Self-Realization Rationales for Protecting Freedom of Expression: Part I - Taking Stock
Bibliographic record
Abstract
he Supreme Court of Canada has explained Canada's commitment to freedom of expression in section 2(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms on the basis of the importance Canadians attach to three deeper societal values: 1) democratic self-government, 2) the advancement of truth and knowledge; and 3) individual self-realization. These values have, however, come to do more than provide the philosophical rationales for providing constitutional protection to freedom of expression in Canada. They have also been given important doctrinal roles, pursuant to which they assist the Court to resolve a broad range of cases in which freedom of expression is invoked. The purpose of this paper is to extract from the body of jurisprudence in which the values have played these doctrinal roles the meanings the Court has given each of them. A critical assessment of those meanings will be provided in a separate paper.”

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
