“You Can’t Fight for Freedom if You Don’t Have Enough Bacon Inside of You:” A Feminist Analysis of the Gendered Spatialization of the 2022 Ottawa Protest
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The 2022 Freedom Convoy protest was a distinct event in Canadian history, as protestors from across Canada lined downtown Ottawa with vehicles. Logistical questions arose regarding how protestors, living in their vehicles, were obtaining fuel. My study focuses on how protestors were being fueled; the logistics and work concerning food provision, services, and supports to individuals who lived and protested in downtown Ottawa. The research draws from interviews, media, and documentary analysis to consider how ‘domestic work’ was conceived or dismissed as political. Empirically, it uncovers the domestic work required to sustain a lengthy protest in cold temperatures. Theoretically, the study deployed insights from feminist theory to understand how representations of 'political' and 'apolitical' activities were gendered and spatialized in the protest. The study concluded that domestic work was intrinsic to the politics of the protest, yet the play on notions of ‘family’ in downtown Ottawa devalued the domestic work.

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.
