By that standard, the Bloc is a stronger national voice than the NDP, because even though their support is regional, they have more seats than the NDP. As much as I disagree with the NDP, such an assertion would of course be silly.

The numbers prove what you're saying is simply not true. The Conservatives won a minority so they got more votes, but to say the Liberals are a Toronto only party is just patently wrong.
