Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Canada's resistance to the COVID-19 waiver of intellectual property rights at the World Trade Organization (WTO) for so long remains a conundrum given the Trudeau government's stated devotion to “progressive trade.” This article summarizes Canada's global pandemic efforts, arguing that progressive trade in fact helps to explain its waiver stance. Progressive trade evokes trade liberalization as a simple, even magical “fetish” that realizes unconscious desires for disavowal, mastery, and foreclosure. Trade fetishism asserts itself against the waiver, revealing the limits of Canada's approach and the fantasies that animate it. This paper is part of the SPE Theme on the Political Economy of COVID-19.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
