The Record
Mark Carney:
By the Record
A life on the record, from his birth to his rebirth, and every day since.
We don't judge the act · We record the act
A human life, counted in days, never reaches six digits.
Mark Carney had lived 21,913 days when he became Canada's 24th Prime Minister on March 14, 2025, two days before his sixtieth birthday. By the Record keeps the days since: what he did, where, with whom, and in his own words, with the sources under every day.
What it is
A diary of one life, kept from the public record, in three parts: the Life, from Fort Smith forward; the Countdown to Day 1; and the Record, every day in office, for as long as he holds it.
How it is kept
The Prime Minister's own office first, then Parliament and trusted reporting at home and abroad. Opinion is never used as fact. Every quotation is checked word for word, every day is written 48 hours after it ends, and the hard days stay in. Not first, but right.
Available now

By the record, and nothing else. 🕯️
