General government spending as share of GDP, excluding transfers already captured under fiscal.transfer_expansion to avoid double-counting.

De jure and de facto independence of the central bank from fiscal authority. Per D.1.5 scope, one of the framework's defensible monetary positions.
Between 1988 and 1995 the Mulroney and early Chrétien governments privatised major federal Crown corporations including Air Canada (1988-89), Petro-Canada (1991-95), Canadian National Railways (1995, through the CN Commercialization Act), and Teleglobe Canada. Sales took the form of public share offerings and full divestitures, generating Treasury proceeds and reducing the federal balance sheet. The intended effect was to subject the firms to capital-market discipline and shrink the SOE footprint of the federal state.
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.
