Abstract
Much of the history of Royal Canadian Mounted Police's (RCMP) security intelligence role has ignored domestic counter-subversion work in favour of more glamorous counter-espionage operations. “Intelligence at the Learneds: The RCMP, the Learneds, and the Canadian Historical Association” examines one small part of that neglected counter-subversion past. For nearly twenty-five years, from 1960 to 1983, members of the RCMP secretly covered and reported upon various meetings of the Learned Societies. Initially attracted by the presence of communists, by the 1970s the RCMP had changed its focus to members of the so-called New Left. Hounded by criticism in the aftermath of the McDonald Commission's final report in 1981, Mounties returned to monitoring communists. Mounted Police coverage ended in 1984, when the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) replaced the Security Service. The paper concludes with a suggestion that CSIS may not be as free from its RCMP ancestor as some would suggest.

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
