Abstract
Judy LaMarsh, of all people, personified Canada on the 100th anniversary of Confederation.On the lip of the Sixties' sexual revolution, the fractious, ornery Liberal MP from Niagara Falls became only the second woman appointed to a federal cabinet (making no secret of her dislike for the Prime Minister, Lester B. Pearson, who appointed her).At the dawn of new symbols cementing Canadians' attachment to their country, she began the process, as Minister of National Health and Welfare, of shaping public medicare into law.As minister responsible for the centennial celebrations, she stood waist-deep in Yukon snow with the sleeves of a borrowed parka dangling below her fingertips and yodelled -she'd been practising -at members of the Yukon Alpine Club's centennial project as they set off to climb ten hitherto unclimbed peaks along the territory's border with Alaska and name them for the provinces.She makes the national journey from centennial to sesquicentennial that much more interesting -and puzzling.The nation in 2017 would be almost unrecognizable to the nation of 1967, which most Canadians are likely okay with.But what turned off the 1967 sunshine?Where has the wish for transformative policies gone?Why is it that no one, nothing, speaks mythologically to us in the 150th year of Canada's official existence beyond, maybe, the tubby Canada C3 icebreaker that sailed from Toronto to Victoria?Is it true that we no longer have time for, or interest in, or the capability of, a unified vision, time for dreams, for national homophily, for a public life in common -or is it that those things never did exist outside a limited collection of our imaginations or actually still exist but are buried under fallen leaves?Whatever.The magic has gone missing ...

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.
