Lines of Dissent: Representing Pipeline Resistance in Corporate Canadian Print Media
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Enbridge Line 9 reversal is part of a national development plan to expand Canada’s underground pipeline network that extends outward from Alberta’s tar sand epicentre, an industrial project dedicated to the extraction of the most carbon-intensive oil in the world. This research draws on insights gained from the fields of critical geography, political economy, and critical media studies to undertake a critical discourse analysis of the systemic articulations of grassroots Line 9 resistance generated by corporate Canadian print media, and the discursive regulation of political dissent. Representations are juxtaposed with insights offered by three key activists involved in anti-Line 9 campaigns in Toronto. I argue that the contestation of material forms of political engagement, the intersection of private property and embodied resistance, and the depoliticizing effects of militarized constructions of activism, operate as environmental governance technologies that may work to narrow or discourage civic participation in pipeline resistance efforts within a neoliberal state threatened by climate change.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
