About Morning Record
Morning Record is Canada’s clinical journal of record.
It publishes forensic audits of national news, documenting what occurred, how it was framed, what it cost, and what constraints shaped the outcome. Its purpose is to establish a verifiable public record, not to persuade or advocate.
Morning Record exists to separate documented facts from narrative framing, and to make the mechanics of public decision-making visible over time.
What Morning Record Does
Morning Record operates as a forensic audit publication, not a commentary outlet.
Each Record:
- Analyzes Canadian news using primary public documents
- Breaks public claims into verifiable inputs and observable outcomes
- Examines fiscal, legislative, and institutional constraints
- Publishes calculations alongside cited source material
- Contributes to a cumulative public record of policy results over time
Records are written in a clinical format that prioritizes traceability and reproducibility over interpretation or persuasion.
What Morning Record Does Not Do
To preserve analytical integrity, Morning Record does not:
- Endorse political parties, candidates, or advocacy movements
- Publish anonymous claims, leaks, or unattributed figures
- Treat commentary, think tanks, or media reporting as evidentiary sources
- Use emotive language, moral framing, or engagement-driven headlines
- Adjust conclusions to fit political or narrative expectations
Claims that cannot be traced to primary source material are removed.
Editorial Independence
Morning Record is editorially independent.
It operates without political alignment, institutional sponsorship, or external editorial direction. Topic selection is driven by public relevance and the availability of verifiable primary documents.
Opinion, commentary, and advocacy are intentionally excluded from the publication model.
Sources & Verification
Every Morning Record audit is grounded in primary, publicly accessible sources, including:
- Statistics Canada
- Parliamentary records
- Federal and provincial budgets
- Auditor General and Parliamentary Budget Officer reports
- Legislation, regulations, and official disclosures
Secondary analysis, advocacy research, and media reporting are not treated as evidentiary sources.
All calculations disclose inputs and assumptions within the article.
Methodology
Morning Record applies a structured forensic methodology designed to separate narrative framing from measurable reality.
Each Record traces public claims to originating documents, extracts relevant fiscal or institutional data, and presents findings in a neutral format.
The full methodology is documented on the Methodology page and applied consistently across all Records.
