Abstract
ethereal Canadianism or what Gwyn had called in 1994 "the First Postmodern Nation." CANADIANISM WITHOUT CANADA?For traditional nationalists, though, this all could be read as Canada evolving into a pleasant and useful memory.Nor were they alone in this opinion.Anthony DePalma, concluding his stint as The New York Times' man in Ottawa, left us with Here: A Biography of the New American Continent (2001).DePalma observed that the work of continentalism was all but completeand that Canadians welcomed their newly assimilated identity.His predictions got a boost after 9/11, when Michael Bliss and others opined that Canadian nationalism would not survive a militant American demand for continental unity in their "War on Terror."There was little faith on the part of traditional Canadian nationalists that the Chrétien government, given its record, would prevent Canada from becoming anything more than a department within US Homeland Security.A year after 9/11, Murray Dobbin, writing for the Council of Canadians, decried the "rapid Americanization of Canada's institutions and political culture."Mel Hurtig's The Vanishing Country: Is It Too Late to Save Canada?(2002) concluded that nothing less than a new political party could protect the country from an American onslaught.Perhaps the best researched of the Chrétien era nationalist laments was Stephen Clarkson's Uncle Sam and US: Globalization, Neoconservatism and the Canadian State (2002).Clarkson was no happier than the traditional nationalists when looking at the Chrétien record.If there was a way out, it would come in the Canadian federal, provincial, and municipal governments finally seeing themselves pushed to irrelevance by the neo-conservative tide and, at long last, stemming it.Clarkson went so far as to suggest that this public-sphere revolution might in fact be inevitable.Michael Adams's extensive opinion polling, summarized elsewhere in this issue, gives a hint as to why.Despite or because of all the affronts documented in the nationalist tomes, it seems Canadians spent the Chrétien years becoming more Canadian, their core values diverging ever further from Americans.It is also possible to read into Adams's data a vindication of the nationalists' claim of a massive disconnect between the will of the people and the Canada being moulded by the nation's political and financial elites.

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.
