Abstract
Canada's National Capital Region, the metropolitan area of Ottawa-Gatineau, is unique in that it is located on the most politically and symbolically charged border within the country: between the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Although this border has little impact on individuals' everyday mobility, major differences in policies, institutions, and public resources affect residents on either side. In particular, each province has its own governance structures and practices in immigration and settlement. The paper demonstrates that these different structures and practices in immigration and settlement across the border generate two distinct processes of citizenship formation at the local level that serve to (re)produce Canada's two dominant ideals of national identity and citizenship. This case contributes to border studies by showing (1) how internal borders serve to (re)produce multiple, national ideals of identity and citizenship at the city scale, (2) the existence of scalar contradictions in the transborder governance of citizenship and identity, and (3) the significance of processes of identity and citizenship formation in understanding the level of integration between cross-border cities.

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
