Juno News - Mark Carney is facing serious accusations of plagiarism in his Oxford doctoral thesis

00:00:00.000 I want to talk about this scandal that broke in the National Post this morning. A huge explosive

00:00:04.860 story in the National Post. It says, exclusive, Mark Carney faces plagiarism accusations for his

00:00:11.360 1995 Oxford doctoral thesis. And here we have Catherine Levesque going through it in detail,

00:00:21.840 pointing out how there have been three academics that have reviewed his thesis and they have some

00:00:27.440 serious problems with the way that it was written. Several instances being pointed out of Kearney

00:00:33.440 quoting other people's work verbatim, line by line, but without quotations and without sources,

00:00:40.860 which is, I mean, that is plagiarism. That is textbook plagiarism. And to see it over and over

00:00:47.940 and over it. So let me just read a little bit from the National Post here. It says the National

00:00:51.760 Post obtained a copy of Kearney's 1995 thesis for his doctorate in economics from Oxford University

00:01:02.360 according to the judgment of three university academics who reviewed the material in several

00:01:07.620 sections of the thesis Carney used full quotes paraphrases or slightly modified quotes from

00:01:12.280 four previous works without proper acknowledgement or attribution and so this is a big no-no in the

00:01:19.620 academic world
