Conservatives fear Pierre Poilievre or one of his rivals could split the party. Ed Fast was booted from his role as finance critic after saying the leadership candidate is undermining the party’s credibility on economic issues.

OTTAWA —Conservative leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre’s promise to fire the governor of the Bank of Canada divided caucus Wednesday

Poilievre’s pledge puts the party’s credibility at risk, the former Conservative cabinet minister also said. “Ed has publicly stated his support for one of the Conservative party of Canada’s leadership candidates and would like to be able to offer more dedicated support to that team,” the statement said.

Sources told the Star that what prompted that shuffle was a concern similar to the issue that some Conservatives are raising with Poilievre now — his economic rhetoric.

Poilievre is the presumed front-runner in the leadership contest. Among the six contenders, he also has the most MPs in his corner.Several MPs have privately told the Star their support reflects a demand from their ridings, the grassroots members who help MPs raise funds and get elected, and who see in Poilievre a champion for the Conservative cause.
