Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In the aftermath of September 11th, Canadians appear to be more willing to give up their civil liberties in exchange for enhanced feelings of security. This paper examines the impact of Bill C-36 on rights and freedoms, focusing on the politics of associational life. The authors contend that the definition of terrorist activity is overbroad, potentially capturing individuals and groups engaged in a broad range of political activities, both lawful and unlawful. Peaceful anti-globalization protestors or illegal striking workers could fall within the definition of terrorist activity and the related offences of participating, facilitating or financing terrorism. In a society where pluralistic associational life is expected to flourish, and where public spaces for political expression are shrinking, the anti-terrorism bill poses a significant threat to political association and protest in Canada.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
