Economist Mark Carney is in the race for Prime Minister. He was accused of plagiarism because standard terms in the model setup look like in other papers. There’s a newspaper quote from Meg Meyer (who I didn’t know was his advisor) clarifying that it’s not sketchy.

No way!!! I guessed it must have been Meg, but didn't know the backstory

There's a link in that article to a radio interview with Meg on CBC which is as frank and clear as you would expect.
