Abstract
This article summarizes the major findings from a research report written for the Bouchard-Taylor Commission on how the media handle reasonable accommodations and opinions on this issue. The focus is on two types of social discourse: event-based handling by the media and the opinions expressed by editorialists, columnists, intellectuals, and readers in Quebec’s print media. The analysis revealed devices used in the media and incidents of media exaggeration, as well as populist and racializing rhetorical devices in many journalists’ and readers’ opinions. This social discourse on the reasonable accommodations crisis shed light on ethnic relations, on how various groups in Quebec perceive one another, and on the sensitivity associated with francophones’ recent ascension to majority status.

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
