MorningRecord is the staff byline of The Morning Record, publishing forensic analyses of public policy, media framing, and institutional claims using disclosed sources and methodology.
Criminal Code
Isolating the access offences in Bill C-9: why criminal liability now turns on where conduct occurs. This Record stress-tests how proximity, not harm, becomes the governing legal threshold.
Criminal Code
Dissecting the Combatting Hate Act: why Criminal Code changes meet provincial prosecution gatekeeping. This Record isolates the consent-removal mechanism, quantifies hate-crime volume, and stress-tests where enforcement clocks cannot be accelerated.
Housing
Stress-testing the $13.0B Build Canada Homes plan: why immigration targets outrun completions. This Record quantifies per-taxpayer exposure and isolates the permitting-and-trades constraint that funding cannot bypass.
Health Policy
Stress-testing the mental health expansion under Bill C-201: why shifting existing private spending into public insurance adds billions without solving delivery bottlenecks.
National Defence
Stress-testing the RCAF Global 6500 acquisition: why mission expansion is colliding with training throughput. This Record isolates delivery sequencing, aircrew conversion limits, and per-taxpayer exposure embedded in Canada’s newest multi-role aircraft program.
Health Care
Stress-testing Canada's 2026 primary care forecast: why the aging practitioner demographic is the "silent governor" of health system capacity. This Record isolates the data on physician retirement and identifies the specific structural gap between graduation rates and workforce exits.
Health Care
Auditing the $200B Working Together health funding framework: why money is moving faster than delivery capacity. This Record isolates accountability limits, workforce constraints, and per-taxpayer exposure embedded in federal–provincial transfers.
Infrastructure
Auditing the $159B federal infrastructure pipeline: why funding flows faster than projects start. This Record isolates approval and capacity constraints and stress-tests long-term taxpayer exposure.
Ethics
Stress-testing Canada’s Ukraine reconstruction posture: why authority follows appointment, not intention. This Record isolates where responsibility, funding, and accountability separate when a former cabinet minister takes a foreign advisory role.
Foreign Policy
Stress-testing the $58.55M Venezuela crisis funding: why access is governed by permits and partners. This Record quantifies per-filer exposure and isolates the throughput constraint that money cannot accelerate.
Sanctions
Dissecting the $115.4M Venezuela aid pledge: why sanctions permits gate which transactions move. This Record audits per-taxpayer exposure and stress-tests the permit bottleneck that money cannot bypass.
Foreign Aid
Stress-testing the $2.5B Ukraine commitment: why IMF gates, not announcements, govern cash timing. This Record quantifies per-taxpayer exposure and pinpoints the fiscal-calendar constraint inside the package.
