Yes, the Bloc is a legitimate party. It's as legitimate as the Reform party ever was. Just because you disagree with their platform doesn't give you the right to challenge their validity.
My "freak out" is directed at the Conservative leadership, not the baseline support. Most Albertan's support the Conservatives either due to some odd form of loyalty, or because they believe in the ideals of smaller government, less taxes and all that other good stuff (fiscal conservatism).
Canada has never been a country to be run by elites -- for an example of that look to America. What the Conservatives are doing with this move is adjusting the system to make it easier for the elites to get their policy through at the expense of any other political voice.
Cutting spending is important, but this was NOT the way to go about it.
