Rule of law as institutional substrate — contract enforcement, judicial independence, equal treatment before the law. Upstream of most other axes.
Independence of the judiciary from executive and legislative encroachment. Specifically captures court-packing, selective prosecution, judicial reshuffles.
Omnibus national-security legislation introduced January 2015 in response to the October 2014 Parliament Hill and Saint-Jean-sur- Richelieu attacks. Royal Assent 18 June 2015. The Act: (i) expanded CSIS's mandate from intelligence collection to include disruption activities ("threat reduction measures") with judicial authorisation; (ii) created the Security of Canada Information Sharing Act permitting broad information sharing across 17 federal institutions for national-security purposes; (iii) created the Secure Air Travel Act formalising the no-fly list; (iv) broadened Criminal Code offences around advocating or promoting terrorism and lowered the threshold for preventive arrest and recognisance with conditions. Subsequently substantially amended by Bill C-59 (National Security Act, 2017) under the Trudeau government, which created the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency (NSIRA) and narrowed several C-51 provisions.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
Included in the Harper movement as a material institutional policy even though it is orthogonal to core economic axes. Kept as stub pending deeper axis mapping in v2.
