Behind New Eyes: The Expression of Dual Loyalties Among Young Canadians & Newcomers
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Using survey data drawn from the 2014 Provincial Diversity Project, this thesis provides a look at how the 1982 Constitution Act and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms shaped the political identities of Canadians and their understanding of the federation. More specifically, it examines how native-born Canadians and first-generation immigrants balance provincial and federal identities. My findings show that those introduced to Canada following the enactment of the 1982 Constitution have a stronger pro-Canada balancing of identity and weaker feelings of regional alienation relative to those introduced before 1982. \n \nAdditionally, this thesis explores the limits of institutional learning theory by examining how the strength of Canadian identity may predict the levels of support for national policies: multiculturalism, bilingualism, the equalization payments program, and feelings of regional alienation. My findings show that generally, the relationship between strength of Canadian identity and support for national policies is of equal strength among pre-, peri-, and post-Charter generations. Ultimately this thesis concludes that while it cannot demonstrate a clear generational break in the political behaviour of native-born Canadians and first-generation immigrants, the observed differences between Charter relative generations can be attributed to the enactment of the 1982 Constitution.

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.
