How would it be disastrous for them? There's only 2 possible outcomes if they don't get their way and threatens to pull the plug on the coalition:
a) Coalition gives in and the Bloc gets their way, Canada goes bankrupt
b) Coalition tells the Bloc to go eff themselves, plug is pulled, we get an election, Bloc keeps their usual 50-55 seats in Quebec, nothing is changed for them. (But this won't happen, the crooks in the coalition won't want to go into an election for the next 3 years at least)
so really, we're left with a), we lose our jobs and houses, and everyone lines up at the now bankrupt homeless hilton downtown. (I don't know if you're from Calgary btw, maybe you're from Quebec, in which case you will just laugh at us)
