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 National Post says this about what ‘could happen’....
“On its website, Oxford University says it regards plagiarism “as a serious matter.”
“Cases will be investigated and penalties may range from deduction of marks to expulsion from the University, depending on the seriousness of the occurrence. Even if plagiarism is inadvertent, it can result in a penalty,” reads the website.......
....But social status hasn’t stopped universities from revoking degrees. And in recent years, many European ministers have had to resign following allegations that some of their university work was plagiarized or after having been stripped of some of their academic credentials.”
Whoa... can you imagine the wild times that will result in Canada if Carnage is on his way to a win and Oxford University rescinds his 1995 doctoral thesis in economics?
With federal election looming, Liberal Canadian PM accused of plagiarism while studying at Oxford: report
Carney is a WEF, Klaus Schwab , WEF Trudeau clone.
If elected, he will turn Canada into a progressive liberal backwater while our neighbors to the South enter a golden age, free of the progressive radical yoke now suffered by Canadians.
Send the liberals and NDP packing folks,claim your freedom and Make Canada Great Again, and award Chris Barbour and Tamara Lich the Order of Canada medal.
The bigger the mouth, the bigger the fraud.
Never Stopped FJB
Precisely.
Thank you from one engineer to another.
