Canadian PM Mark Carney Faces Plagiarism Allegations Over Oxford Thesis

The accusations, emerging during a snap election campaign, question Carney's academic integrity and political credibility.

The National Post identified ten instances in Mark Carney's 1995 Oxford doctoral thesis where text was allegedly copied without proper attribution.
Carney's doctoral supervisor, Dr. Margaret Meyer, defended the thesis, asserting it adhered to academic norms and accusing critics of mischaracterization.
Geoffrey Sigalet, a member of the British Columbia’s plagiarism committee, argued that some examples meet Oxford’s definition of plagiarism.
The Liberal Party has dismissed the allegations as politically motivated attacks by a conservative-leaning publication.
The controversy unfolds as Carney leads the Liberal Party into a snap election on April 28, potentially impacting his campaign and leadership credibility.
