According to a study by the Angus Reid Institute, Quebec is still the province where positive sentiments towards CPC leader Pierre Poilievre are the lowest.
The Bloc’s goal is to sneak in a few seats to represent Quebec’s interests federally. Nobody is voting for the Bloc expecting Yves-François Blanchet to become PM. Quebec is just different enough from the RoC that having a party dedicated to itself makes sense.
I think it’s a great move for them. They’re actually in the running for official opposition right now, with a 42% chance of becoming opposition (using pre-Freeland resignation stats)
When there’s only one party leader with enough of a brain to lead the country but he represents a party that is only present in one province and he wants to break that country in two…
AFAIK Quebec tends not to elect many Conservatives - probably the fewest per capita in Canada provincially/territorially, per the headline. They elect a lot of Liberal and Bloc candidates. My conjecture (which is irrelevant in days like this when the Libs poll pitifully) is that how many Liberals Quebec (which, like Ontario, has a ton of seats) elects, as opposed to Bloc, has a pretty sizeable indirect effect on who forms governments between the Liberals and Conservatives. I should add that I’m ignorant of where the Bloc is on the political spectrum, so my ‘Liberals and Bloc split votes’ hypothesis is blind in that respect
The Bloc votes based on Quebec’s interests so it makes them left of center most of the time as for the most part it’s a progressive province when it comes to social services and so on (even though it gets depicted as being super conservative/anti migrants, based on stats it’s usually the most welcoming province for migrants).
Based Quebecois
That being said aren’t they pretty staunch bloc supporters rather than lib or con

And the Bloc fights for Quebec’s interests and for the respect of provincial powers and in the end it helps all provinces.
You’re all very welcome.
I keep saying that the stubbornness of Quebeckers is the only thing that keeps Canada from having a two party system like the states.
Keep it up, Quebec!
Pretty easy choice these days
