Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract A selective history of Canadian foreign policy from the Seven Years’ War (1756–63) to 1935. It highlights the roles of borders, national unity, the quest for independence in Canadian external affairs, colonialism in the context of Indigenous peoples, the Alaska boundary dispute, the expansion of Canadian diplomatic representation, early immigration policy and racism in Canada, the politics of negotiating free trade with the United States, the impact of the First World War, isolationism at the League of Nations, the Great Depression, political radicalism, and the role of non-state actors and civil society in shaping Canada’s early foreign policy posture. It emphasizes Ottawa’s cautious approach to international engagement, its selective approach to immigration, and the politicization of Canadian trade policy.

Not 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.
