Abstract
Relatively few people in Canada have suffered the dire experience of being uprooted and driven from their homes. But it happens all the time as public bodies expropriate private properties to satisfy public needs. From the viewpoint of political theory no realistic person will gainsay the need for such power, but public benefit is often secured at the expense of private pain which no amount of financial compensation can lessen. When the Columbia River Project was built, about two thousand people were displaced. Something of their experience was described in People in the Way. This reported on a survey, carried out in 1970 by one author (Wilson), which caught the bitterness and sense of outrage felt by the displaced people; in 1981 the other author (Conn) repeated the survey. This paper examines the reasons for the original feelings, the changes which occurred between 1970 and 1981 and some of the policy implications for any agency charged with a similar task.

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
