Abstract
Available on-line in English and French at www.metropolis.net The views expressed in this paper do not necessarily reflect those of the Department of Canadian Heritage. 2Abstract This paper situates the discussion of the impact of religious diversity on the formation of Canadian identities within two contexts. The first is a brief account of the historical patterns of diversity characteristic of the establishment-type Christian denominations. The second examines the relationship of religions to the meaning of culture as constituted by the fields of ethics and aesthetics. The argument follows that the historic churches held a dominant cultural role in colonial and post-colonial Canada. As such, they contributed in a major way to the formation of the public discourse on social and political issues. In contemporary Canada, by contrast, the diasporic religious traditions, such as the Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim and Sikh, join with the marginalized historic traditions of Native peoples, Christians and Jews as voices among many others in the Canadian culture debates. Religions then are no longer dominant, but integral

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.
