Really, it would be equally damning for the BQ to take part in a Canadian ruling scenario.

Yeah, that makes zero sense whats so ever, its an optics statement more then reality.
Right now the Conservatives have 143 seats to the Libs and NDP's combined 113 seats, and since the budget vote is automatically a confidence vote, we'd be going to the polls the day after the budget is defeated.
so you can bet that the Bloc would represent a strong shadow cabinet to a Lib/NDP coalition government, so beyond the ######ed spending that the NDP would be trying to push through, you'd be seeing a whole lot of funds and pandering going to the Bloc in order to support the budget. In a NDP/Lib coalition minority government, the Bloc would hold a very large hammer with the government of Canada, since the conservative seat count on its own would defeat any coalition that doesn't feature the bloc.
For all intensive purposes the Bloc would be part of Canada's ruling Troika.
