This is just one of many carrots the two stooges are going to have to hang in front of the third for this coalition to take place. To think otherwise is delusional.
Could you please explain to me how this nefarious package would be implemented? I've provided a rational explanation as to what this supposed "secret" deal is. I think that the accord is pretty clear in its concessions to Quebec (and even Ontario and BC).

One thing you might forget is that the Liberals kind of need support of this little province called Ontario. Do you think it would be in their interests to have a special package just dedicated to Quebec? There are probably all sorts of things in the stimulus package earmarked for Quebec, Ontario, and BC.

Of course there will be nothing for Alberta and Saskatchewan, I mean is this really a shock to anyone? If Alberta had a larger population that contrasted into more seats, we could have a hammer like the BQ, but unfortunately the logistics for it don't exist to make an impact yet.
