Abstract
It is a commonly held opinion that Canada’s political and economic contributions to the global scene are linked almost exclusively with the tipping points of history, such as the two World Wars and some more recent conflicts. Indeed, if Canada has a “great story” to tell, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau declared some years ago in an interview given to Maclean’s magazine, to many it remains unclear wherein this alleged greatness lies. And yet, on the literary stage, Canadian voices have been an integral part of a more convincing narrative, as demonstrated by the internationally-acclaimed names of Margaret Atwood, Alice Munro or Michael Ondaatje, to mention but a few.

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.
