Panel on Patronage / Table ronde sur le patronage
Bibliographic record
Abstract
At the beginning of 1987, the Journal of Canadian Studies brought together three persons whose experience as politicians or political managers gives them a rich perspective on the political process, and the role of patronage therein. Jean-Luc Pepin’s long political career spanned a variety of important portfolios in the Pearson and Trudeau governments, as well as the chairmanships of the Anti-Inflation Board and of the Task Force on Canadian Unity. After a twenty-year absence he has now returned to teaching political science at the University of Ottawa. William Neville served as an aide to several Liberal cabinet ministers before becoming a Conservative candidate and advisor. He served as Principal Secretary to Prime Minister Joe Clark in 1979–80, and is now president of the Ottawa consulting firm, Public Affairs International. William Knight served as federal MP for Assiniboia and as Principal Secretary to Saskatchewan Premier Allan Blakeney before taking up his current role as Chief-of-Staff for federal NDP leader Ed Broadbent. The discussion was moderated by Jeffrey Simpson, Ottawa columnist for the Globe and Mail, and by Ralph Heintzman, member of the Journal’s editorial board and co-editor of this special issue. The following is an edited transcript of the discussion. Abstract: Au début de 1987, la Revue d’éludes canadiennes à réuni trois personnes qui, en tant que politiciens ou conseillers politiques, ont acquis une connaissance intime du processus politique, y compris le rôle du patronage là-dedans.

Après une absence de vingt ans il est maintenant de retour à l’Université d’Ottawa où il enseigne la science politique. William Neville a été adjoint à plusieurs ministres libéraux fédéraux avant de devenir candidat et conseiller pour le Parti conservateur. II a été chef de cabinet auprès du premier ministre Joe Clark en 1979–80, et il est maintenant président de la firme de conseillers en affaires publiques. Public Affairs International.

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.
