Mark Carney Accused of Plagiarizing Oxford Thesis

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney faces allegations of plagiarism related to his 1995 doctoral thesis at Oxford University, 'The Dynamic Advantage of Competition.' The National Post reported 10 instances where Carney allegedly used quotes and paraphrases from other works without proper attribution, raising questions of academic integrity. Carney's former supervisor, Dr. Margaret Meyer, defended him, asserting that his work was thoroughly vetted and did not constitute plagiarism. However, Geoffrey Sigalet of UBC and other academic experts argue that the thesis contains clear examples of plagiarism. These accusations emerge as Carney campaigns for reelection on April 28, potentially impacting his political future. The issue underscores ongoing concerns about academic misconduct and its implications for public figures.
