Summary that brought us to the amazing quotes above.

http://archive.today/2025.03.29-204249/https://nationalpost.com/news/mark-carney-plagiarism-accusations

  • Mar 28th National Post broke a exclusive story where Mark Carney apparently plagiarized his 1995 Oxford doctoral thesis
  • There's only a single person of significance providing anything worth discussing which is some overlapping phrases in the 300 page thesis but does not substantiate the plagiarism.
  • Mark Carney's doctoral supervisor responds:

Margaret Meyer, Official Fellow of Economics at Nuffield College, in the provided statement. “Mark’s thesis was evaluated and approved by a faculty committee that saw his work for what it is: an impressive and thoroughly researched analysis that set him apart from his peers,” added Meyer.

Which bring us to this from CTV (infamous for far right pandering as well last week) on Apr 1st: https://files.catbox.moe/h2ze4b.mp4

Reporter asking if Carney will continue to attack them when he doesn't like their work.

NP ends up squeezing like 4 articles out of this crap. Only to have this gem of a quote drop.

Professor A: Carney straight up copy pasta'd his Thesis

Professor B: This is the "most sophisticated plagiarism" he's seen.

I'll also once again say that all direct links to Postmedia should be banned. Even if people post archived links the submitter should justify why they're using a non-credible source.

As long as we accept "accidental satire" as a justification. 😆
