Abstract
The eastern part of Nova Scotia in Atlantic Canada is home to two well known initiatives <it>in community economic development</it> (CED); the <it>Antigonish Movement</it> of co&hyphen;operatives and a group of <it>Cape Breton community development corporations</it>, referred to here as <it>the Family</it>. The Antigonish Movement is the older of the two, originating as a response to economic crisis in the region in the years leading up to World War II. The Family of community development corporations began in the 1970s with the establishment of its flagship corporation, New Dawn Enterprises Limited, now the oldest community development corporation in Canada. In the literature, the two are said to represent a common tradition in the region of trying to combat excessive external control of the economy through the creation of community controlled businesses. The tradition, however, is also an ideological one, with important continuities and discontinuities. The purpose of this article is to provide a critical assessment of these continuities and discontinuities by focusing on the activities and organizational forms adopted by each of the initiatives. The article identifies issues that arise out of democratic and non&hyphen;democratic forms of CED practice. It is concluded that the Family's community development corporations represent, at best, a pale shadow of the promise for democratic and participatory CED contained in the co&hyphen;operative and adult education program of the Antigonish Movement.

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
