Arrr, matey! Prime Minister Mark Carney be caught in a tempest o’ trouble, for a Canadian scallywag found no less than ten instances o' shady copying in his 1995 Oxford scroll! Aye, the good captain’s thesis be raisin’ more eyebrows than a three-eyed parrot!
Ahoy, ye landlubbers! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn about the mischievous scallywag, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney! This here fellow, seekin' to keep his captaincy in the great north, be caught in a squall of plagiarism allegations, claimin' he lifted bits from his 1995 thesis at Oxford without givin' proper credit, savvy?The rascally National Post did their homework and found a treasure trove of at least ten instances where Carney’s words be as borrowed as a pirate's map, pilferin' from esteemed sources like ol' Michael E. Porter without so much as a "by yer leave!" One expert, Geoffrey Sigalet, be shoutin' that what Carney be doin' is naught but thievery, pure and simple.But hold yer horses! Carney’s crew, led by his former Oxford supervisor, Margaret Meyer, be claimin' he’s as innocent as a lamb in a meadow, arguin' that overlap in language be a common occurrence. Yet, Oxford be warnin' that such trickery can lead to walkin' the plank, with penalties as severe as expulsion!So, while Carney sails through the storm of allegations, us hearty souls be wonderin' if he'll find safe harbor or go down with the ship. Aye, what a tale of high seas and low deeds!
