Abstract
By drawing from Statistics Canada and qualitative research data, we assess the social impact of population decline in the Strait Region of Nova Scotia. Statistics Canada data show that from 2001 to 2006, there was a net out-migration from the Strait Region to other areas in Canada. This was a continuance of a pattern established nearly two decades ago. This, coupled with an aging population, means that the economic viability and social vitality of the Strait Region is being slowly undermined. The decline in the population of rural and small town settlements over the past two decades has negative implications for the local economy, families and communities, and community support structures in the Strait Region. We conclude by arguing that more resources are needed for the retention of immigrants if some of the negative consequences of out-migration (such as labour market shortages) are to be redressed. Keywords: socioeconomic structures, community support structures, out-migration, immigration

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
