Conservative finance critic Ed Fast says he believes Pierre Poilievre’s pitch to fire the Bank of Canada governor over the country’s record-high inflation rate hurts the party’s credibility on economic issues.
“I’m deeply troubled by suggestions by one of our leadership candidates, that that candidate would be prepared to interfere already at this stage in the independence of our central bank,” Fast told reporters ahead of the party’s caucus meeting Wednesday. Fast attributes inflation, which is driving up the cost of everyday goods like gas and groceries, to government spending. Experts say other factors are also at play, including how countries are still dealing with pandemic-related supply chain issues and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
gmacofglebe It is PierrePoilievre who is attempting to trash Canada's economy and banking system and Harper is behind it all
Im sure this has nothing to do with Ed's opinion
