Meanwhile, China's embassy in Ottawa told Canada to stop meddling in Hong Kong affairs the day after a joint statement with the European Union was issued, defending the \"fundamental right of assembly\" for Hong Kong citizens.Guest: Charles Burton, associate professor, Department of Political Science, Brock University.-As of 2025, Ontario's Blue Box program will be the responsibility of product manufacturers, not the province. The Ontario government says this will reduce waste and save millions for municipalities. Is switching more responsibility over to manufacturers a change that makes sense in the long run?And Elections Canada has warned environmental groups that discussing climate change may be a 'partisan' issue. This could have serious consequences for environmental groups.Guest: Keith Brooks, our Campaign Director for Environmental Defence

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
