Abstract
Since the end of the Second World War, the government of Canada has regularly emphasized Canada's commitment to maintaining peace and liberty in the world through peacekeeping within the framework of the United Nations. Born in the 1950s, this narrative of Canada as a model peacekeeper held a central place in the successive Canadian governments' discourse on foreign policy and thus became an important element of the way Canadian national identity was defined. This article intends to analyze whether the narrative of Canada as a peacekeeping nation continued unchanged in more recent years. As we will show, since the 1990s, Canada's contributions to peacekeeping have undergone major changes. This article will examine whether these changes have been reflected in the official discourse on Canadian foreign policy produced by successive governments, both Liberal and Conservative, and whether, as a result, the narrative of Canada as a peacemaker is being challenged, and maybe replaced, by a new national narrative.

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
