Abstract
This article assesses the effectiveness of Canada’s new Journalistic Sources Protection Act (JSPA) that aims to protect confidential news sources. The authors argue the reforms implemented under the JSPA as interpreted by the Supreme Court of Canada, while an improvement over the common law, do not go far enough. They argue that an interpretation of the JSPA should create a rebuttable presumption of non-disclosure, and that greater deference should be afforded to journalists who adhere to standard journalistic practices. The article finishes with a look at the case of the CSIS foreign electoral interference whistleblowers and how a reinvigorated interpretation of the JSPA as applied to that case would better advance the remedial purpose of the legislation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
