By being the only thing that keeps an especially weak minority government in place (lib/NDP), the Bloc essentially can push forward their Quebec first interests at the expense of other provinces, and Duccepe and Layton said repeatedly during the election that the evil Western Energy companies are ripe for the picking.

There is absolutely no other way for this to play out. Why the heck wouldn't they hold a gun to the NDP/Liberal's head? Unless Layton's "don't worry it's been taken care of" statement means that Quebec is getting many billions of handouts in return for them towing the line. But even after they get it, what's stopping them from asking for more "or else".
Either way, neither is good.
