the new Liberal party leader and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has called for snap elections for April 28th, trying to fully capitalize on the Liberal’s latest surge in the polls after endless months badly trailing the Conservative opposition.
But as the campaign begins, a reputational bomb has gone off on banker Carney’s lap, as an investigation by the National Post identified at least 10 instances of apparent plagiarism in his 1995 Oxford University doctorate thesis.
Carney was found to use ‘full quotes, paraphrases, or slightly modified quotes from four previous works without proper acknowledgement or attribution’.
Liberals are in a meltdown, calling Geoffrey Sigalet – the scholar who examined the evidence – a ‘Conservative donor’, because he contributed $288 back in 2022.
...
“On Friday, the Canadian prime minister and former governor of the Bank of England was forced to deny allegations he copied 10 passages of text for his 1995 doctorate.
The allegations are a blow to his election campaign. He faces a knife-edge vote on April 28 after calling a snap election against the backdrop of an aggressive trade war with Donald Trump.”
...
Geoffrey Sigalet, from the University of British Columbia said: ‘He’s just directly repeating without quotations. That’s what we call plagiarism’.
The examples of plagiarism were sent to Mr. Carney’s campaign team, who described the allegations as an ‘irresponsible mischaracterization” of his work’.”
The sentences from the economist Michael E. Porter Jeremy C. Stein are alleged to be presented by Carney as his own in his thesis.
Margaret Meyer, his doctoral supervisor at Oxford, defended the Liberal Party leader and said she saw ‘no evidence of plagiarism’. ‘It is typical that overlapping language appears’.
The left lies and cheats at the drop of a hat. This charge reminds me of Brandon. Unfortunately he followed on with his cheat Presidency.

All the cool kids know that you collude with your alma mater to block access to any thesis you wrote in school before taking a big public office.
What was the title or subject of that thesis?
He also wrote the article urging Trudeau to debank the Ottawa protests
I’ve been published in technical journals. I can’t imagine why you would plagiarize another’s work with out giving credit!
Your work aided by theirs, makes you look good and acknowledges their efforts.
Unless you are a lazy ass and just stole the whole thing.
In the engineering world you stand on the shoulders of others to create new things. It will become readily apparent
if you really didn’t create some new knowledge based on your work.

Marx Carnage is certainly NOT the sharpest tool in the shed. Mind you, he is definitely a tool! A tool of the WEF/ChiComs, that is. A REAL Manchurian Candidate. Think of him as a whiter shade of Oboogaloo.
The VAST MAJORITY of his utterances are lies. Among the latest, when he announced he was running as MP for the Nepean riding (a part of Ottawa), he spoke of knowing Nepean well, having spent twenty years there. When he was out West, he claimed to have been an Edmontonian.
FACT: He has a UK passport, an Irish passport and a Canadian passport.
Until he was ‘crowned’ leader of the Lieberals, as far as can be determined, he lived in NYC with his wife, who is a partner in a left wing(nut) ‘thinktank’ called Eurasia Group. He was the ‘UN Special Envoy on Climate Action and Finance’
As Governor of the Bank of England, he pushed HARD against Brexit, where he earned the nickname ‘Mark Carnage’ for his reckless printing of money. He CLAIMED to have ‘saved’ Canaduh from the 2008 financial crisis, as Governor of the Bank of Canada. Sick of the BS, former PM Steven Harper issued a statement condemning Carnage’s claims, as the man who DID put into place policies that softened the blow, was the Minister of Finance the late Jim Flaherty.
True-dolt was an embarrassing buffoon. Marx Carnage IS PURE EVIL!
bttt
This might be the start of the ‘drip, drip, drip’ that I hoped the Trump administration to provide to Canadian allies, destroying the Lieberals.
Which one of Mark Carney’s 3 Passports has the Epstein Island stamp in it?
You have personal integrity, it's traits like that which are detrimental to a career in Banking, C-Suite management, Law, Journalism, and Politics.
The worst part is that he plagiarized Joe Biden plagiarizing Neil Kinnock.
Plagiarism? Shoot, MLK,Jr plagiarized three quarters of his doctorate thesis and several of his famous speeches and the blacks worship him and we’ve given him a National Holiday. Biden was a plagiarist and got a pass too...I fully expect this Canadian to be deified.
I don’t think that will be the next ‘drip’, but I think it’s coming. April 28th election, perhaps around the 18th. I am sure there will be plenty of ‘drips’ between now and then.
I think that Carnage knows the noose is tightening. He is COUNTING on being elected. If not, he can’t go back to NYC, because I am sure Trump has a nice, big, ‘friendly’ team of IRS auditors primed to audit Brookfield’s books, in their brand new NYC head office.
I think Carney’s ego may have just got him in deep trouble. Too bad, so sad. Maybe he can have Epstein’s cell, just for old times sake.
Maybe Carney hired Biden to write his thesis.
A joke from my youth (I grew up in Ontario).
Q: What do you call a thousand lawyers at the bottom of Lake Ontario?
A: A good start.
I shouldn’t jest. After all its the two percent that are honest lawyers, that ruin the reputation of the other 98%.
Plagiarism??
who does he think he is, Biden?????
“Smartest guys in the room” can’t help themselves. Frauds, cheats, liars
