This is exactly what the CPC does not need.  Denials and brave faces notwithstanding, the Reform/Alliance takeover of the CPC still has not been fully digested and regardless of Ibbitson's article last week, the party is obviously not united behind Andrew Schcer - viz. this outburst from the Bernier camp.

It must inevitably weaken Scheer's hold on the party when a block of this significant size is questioning the legitimacy of his election to leadership.  Stephen Harper simply would not have tolerated this but I think Scheer is not capable of striking the same level of fear as was Harper.
