Abstract
Preparing Whose Canada? was a collective effort, and we gratefully acknowledge the contributions of a number of people and organizations.We were inspired by Aurèle Parisien, then at McGill-Queen's University Press (mqup), who first raised the idea for this volume and who provided untiring support throughout the first stages of the journey.Nearly all of the chapters in this volume were presented in draft form at a conference held at York University in Toronto, hosted jointly by York's Centre for Research on Latin America and the Caribbean (cerlac) and the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (ccpa) in Ottawa.Many individuals made the event a success, especially conference coordinator Phillip Stuart Courneyeur, with his passionate commitment and expertise.Equally committed and effective was Eduardo Sousa from the Council of Canadians, who, with a team of volunteers, coordinated a public teach-in on the evening prior to the conference.The conference and teach-in were co-sponsored by the Council of Canadians, the Centre for Social Justice, Common Frontiers-Canada, and the Making the Links Coalition.These events were made possible by generous financial contributions from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (sshrc), ccpa, cerlac, the Canadian Auto Workers Union, the Canadian Labour Congress, and Leo Panitch (Canada Research Chair in Comparative Political Economy), as well as the support from various offices and departments at York University.Our greatest debt is to the contributors to Whose Canada?, who shared their expertise in the many subjects they tackled.We have benefited immensely from their collaboration and would like to thank this stimulating and dedicated group of scholars, researchers, and social activists for their tremendous work and enthusiasm.The sponsorship of the ccpa and, in particular, the unwavering support of its executive director Bruce Campbell, deserve a special thanks.Bruce served as co-chair of the conference at York and contributed to making this book possible in more ways than can

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.
