Abstract
This, the last of fve substantial volumes, completes a twenty-six-year project on the Canadian state, its law, and its administration of justiceand injustice.From lèse-Majesté in seventeenth-century New France to the Oka Crisis of 1990, more than ffty historians have explored Canadian governments' handling of a central issue for all governments: how to deal with domestic and foreign enemies of the state and with violent and more peaceful protests against offcial policies.In short, subversion, treason, sedition, and "disorder."But the achievement of the Canadian State Trials series is wider still.For what governments call "riotous disorder," or even treason, may be passionately defended by those who commit such offences (and some witnesses, including historians) as legitimate demands for a democratic voice, or for human rights, or for justice -or for all three.These volumes illuminate the social and political origins of such challenges to state power over four centuries, as well as the many attempts and many legal tools used by Canadian governments to defect, control, and repress popular protest, sedition, and treason.The task for historians is challenging.The law is complex and frequently changing, the historical context of popular dissent equally fuid, and the relations of these matters to the "rule of law" never simple.These volumes are authoritative accounts of both famous and (until now) obscure passages in this long history.Many years ago, I met a former British governor (frst of Jamaica, then Cyprus), and we fell to talking about executions, particularly those to punish treason and breaches of emergency legislation, as well as political

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.
