Overview

• The National Post identified ten instances of alleged plagiarism in Mark Carney's Oxford doctoral thesis, citing verbatim and paraphrased content without proper attribution.
• Carney's thesis supervisor, Dr. Margaret Meyer, defended his work, stating that there was no evidence of plagiarism and attributing the similarities to typical academic practices.
• Academic experts, including Geoffrey Sigalet from the British Columbia, argued that some examples in the thesis meet the definition of plagiarism under Oxford's standards.
• The allegations have become a focal point in the Canadian political landscape, as Carney campaigns for the April 28 snap election following Justin Trudeau's resignation.
• Carney's office has yet to respond directly to the claims, while the Liberal Party dismissed the accusations as politically motivated and criticized the National Post for bias.
