I don't recall them advocating for separation in the last decade or advocating for anything but a strong regional and cultural voice. They are by far and away the party with the best policy platforms outside of the mulit-cultural arena. Duceppe is the only leader of a party that presents as anything even resembling a statesman.Lindsay Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13461043718147845594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857209725686366909.post-57211341405515411372010-01-01T07:58:58.904-05:002010-01-01T07:58:58.904-05:00In order for the Bloc to be included, they would h...In order for the Bloc to be included, they would have to put water in their wine as well. They could advocate for better treatment for Quebec, but would have to remain out of any referenda, should they come up. I am not sure they could accept that and that's why I did not include them in my proposal.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06509182679650412982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857209725686366909.post-29829024673630694002009-12-31T22:12:21.082-05:002009-12-31T22:12:21.082-05:00I imagine there'd be a nasty backlash against ...I imagine there'd be a nasty backlash against such blatant strategic candidacy and you've ignored a vital part of the equation, the Bloc. For my dollar, I'd like to see a coalition formed beginning with the Bloc and NDP coming to the table as majority stake holders. They have more seats than the Liberals and an Ignatieff led government is pretty much as useless and ugly as a continuing Harper run. It is evident that Ignatieff hasn't got the nuts to actually perform the job of leader of opposition so he certainly hasn't earned the confidence to run the government. <br /><br />I'd like to cast my ballot for the Bloc Canada.
