Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The paper analyses the longstanding issue of Quebec's self-determination, in light of the recent judg-ment of the Superior Court of Quebec Henderson c. Attorney General of Quebec. After years of pro-cedural delays, the appeal of the former Equality Party leader at the Assemblee nationale du Quebec Keith O. Henderson has finally reached a ruling that could put an  end – for now – to the decades-long dispute between Ottawa and Quebec. At the moment, it seems unlikely that the clarity of the refer-endum question will again be examined by the Canadian Supreme Court, twenty years after its famous Advisory Opinion on the possibility of secession of Quebec and on the formulation of the related question. For the time being, the Superior Court of Quebec finds itself in a deadlock in which the fed-eral and provincial governments remain entrenched on their respective positions. The positive trend, in procedural terms, of the recent referendums on the independence of Scotland and New Caledonia – in which the strategic importance of a negotiated approach was fully recognized in ensuring that the ref-erendum procedure is conducted in a peaceful and respectful manner between the parties – does not yet seem to inspire the governments of Ottawa and Quebec to take a decisive step towards a direct agreement on the question to be eventually submitted to the citizens.

Full frame distilled prediction

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.
