They are more on the left of the Conservatives, but not terribly so. I think they share more with each other than the Bloc and other parties. The fact that the Conservatives made more in roads into Quebec last time than the Liberals would seem to suggest that too.
I agree with the optics being bad, but then you'd have to say that for any coalition that would include the Bloc whether the Conservatives were involved or not.
