Abstract
is a sympathetic but scholarly and well-substantiated history that offers immensely valuable counterpoints to the cpc's own versions of its history.See also Bryan D. Palmer, review of Canadian Bolsheviks: The Early Years of the Communist Party of Canada, by Ian Angus, Labour/Le Travail 11 (Spring 1983): 243-245.Bryan Palmer's article "Maurice Spector, James P. Cannon, and the Origins of Canadian Trotskyism" remains the most extensive scholarly examination of Spector and his movement, and Palmer's detailed biographies of Cannon add further content and context regarding Canadian Trotskyism.Ian McKay presented a conference paper on Spector in 2003, but this work remains unpublished.

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.
