Abstract
The Upper Canadian Assembly’s two debates on union with Lower Canada, especially the first, show a much greater range of views towards it than contemporaries expected. Leading members upheld the unique national character of French Canada, denouncing Britain’s attempt to use their colony to suppress another. The first debate grew out of attempts originating in a Whig member of the opposition to solve the division of customs revenue between the two, breaking the deadlock that already characterized the lower province. The second, much more strained came in the wake of the 1837 Rebellions with union as a government project to ‘put down the French’. While the second bill passed, its implementation failed as, once again, Upper Canadian members of the assembly refused the play the role in which the British government had cast them.

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.
