On giving power to the Bloc:
Bloc < Liberals + NDP + Conservatives
Whilst that may seem irrelevant, it isn't.
Not entirely. If the Liberal-NDP coalition is supported by the Conservatives, then they don't need the Bloc.
Clearly, the Liberals and the NDP have demonstrated here that they would rather give power to the Bloc than support the Conservatives.
However, as far-fetched as it seems, the possibility exists for the Conservatives to give the Liberal-NDP coalition their assurances that they would not vote against the government in a non-confidence measure.
That would remove the Bloc from the equation.
By not doing so, the Conservatives demonstrate that they would rather give power to the Bloc than support the Liberals.
They are just as willing to "jump in bed with the seperatists" as the Liberals.
Of course, we already knew that. Well, except for those who are drinking too much blue kool-aid.
