Back before the Bloc existed, "separatists" used to just join the mainstream parties and work from within - yet political allainces of convenience were still made with those MPs by the Conservatives and Liberals going back decades. It's just now, since 1990, they are lumped into the Bloc and it is easier to point them out.

Correct.
During the 80s, several prominent separatists (such as Lucien Bouchard) were cabinet ministers in Brian Mulroney's Conservative majorities.
