Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney Faces Plagiarism Allegations Over Oxford Thesis

The accusations, reported by the National Post, claim improper attribution in Carney's 1995 doctoral work, intensifying scrutiny during Canada's snap election campaign.

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.
