Abstract\n\n\nPublic and Elite Policy Preferences: Gay Marriage in Canada1\n\n\nThis paper explores the role of parties, interest groups and public opinion in the enactment of ‘controversial’ social policy particularly when the issue is salient with political elites, but not salient with the public. The author analyses party documents, interest group testimony, media statements and public opinion data. He finds that political elites in Canada facilitated the legalisation of gay marriage while anti-gay marriage politicians and interest groups were unable to reframe gay marriage so as to benefit their cause. While political elites engaged in an ongoing discourse, Canadians remained divided on same-sex marriage but also uninterested in the issue. This paper also discusses the key differences surrounding the legalization of same-sex marriage between the United States and Canada.\n\n\nRésumé\n\n\nDans cet article, l’auteur examine le rôle que jouent les partis politiques, les groupes d’intérêt et l’opinion publique dans la promulgation d’une politique sociale « controversée », en particulier lorsque le sujet est important pour les élites politiques, mais ne l’est pas pour le public. Il analyse des documents de différents partis, des témoignages de groupes d’intérêts, des déclarations aux médias et des données sur l’opinion publique. Il constate que les élites politiques du Canada ont facilité la légalisation du mariage entre personnes du même sexe, tandis que les politiciens et les groupes d’intérêts opposés au mariage gay ont été incapables de replacer ce type de mariage dans une nouvelle perspective, de façon à faire avancer leur cause. Les élites politiques sont engagées dans un discours continu; toutefois, la population canadienne non seulement demeure divisée sur la question du mariage gay, mais ne s’y intéresse pas vraiment. Le présent article contient également une analyse des principales différences entre les mesures législatives adoptées par les États-Unis et par le Canada sur le mariage entre personnes du même sexe.\n\n\n

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
