Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper examines the contemporary Canadian version of immigration exceptionalism formulated by the Supreme Court of Canada in its interpretation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. I trace the doctrinal techniques that eviscerate constitutional rights protection in immigration law. This is not a “whodunit” – everyone knows the culprit is sovereignty, conventionally understood. The question I explore is how it is ope-rationalized in a modern constitution, and at what cost. I do this through a close reading of jurisprudence about the deport-ability of the non-citizen resident. I illustrate the role of prerogative power in – depending on one’s perspective – locating the non-citizen on the inside of the legal order (qua subject of law) while simultaneously placing the non-citizen outside the constitution (qua object of sovereignty). While my focus is on Canada and its particular articulation of immigration exceptionalism, I believe that the analysis resonates broadly across the domestic variants of other jurisdictions.

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.
