I truly wish it was LPC followed by NDP

Indeed; Liberal + NDP + G doesn’t make a majority, but C + BQ does.

This isn’t the time to have a minority government that has to make sweeping concessions to get anything done.

LPC + BQ makes more sense as the BQ isn't too friendly with the CPC.

Besides it's time the BQ had some power in federal politics, if for no other reason than to show English Canada that they're not the monsters we think they are.

That's fair, but I doubt it would last long. Quebec voters can be a bit fickle and the BQ might not be as patient as the NDP+G have been. I would guess non-confidence and a new election in about a year.

Quebec voters aren't any more fickle than the rest of Canada. They are smart, engaging and ready to stand up for their nation and culture.

Treating them as something less-than is sickening. Please stop it.

I'm saying the opposite of "less-than".

I'm saying they don't put up with shit just cause of party lines. If you want to keep support in Quebec you have to bend to the will of the voters.

That's just the prediction on if the election were held today. I don't think the trend is showing any signs of stopping here. A couple weeks ago this same prediction gave the Cons an 80% chance at a majority. And even that was seen as a massive decline for them.
