[HotAir] Liberal Leader Mark Carney has been accused of taking other people’s ideas as his own in the federal election campaign.
The National Post obtained a copy of Carney’s 1995 thesis for his doctorate in economics from Oxford University titled "The Dynamic Advantage of Competition." It shows 10 instances of apparent plagiarism, according to the judgment of three university academics who reviewed the material.
In several sections of his thesis, Carney used full quotes, paraphrases, or slightly modified quotes from four previous works without proper acknowledgement or attribution.
"He’s just directly repeating without quotations. That’s what we call plagiarism," said Geoffrey Sigalet, an assistant professor and member of UBC Okanagan president’s advisory committee on student discipline, which handles plagiarism cases for the university. Why am I not surprised? He continues a long and ignoble tradition.

Well, if he doesn’t get elected to lead Canada, it sounds like he has the background to be president of an Ivy Aleague university. Good backup plan.

At what point does Canada's self destruction result in a refugee crisis on our northern border?
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
