IIRC they won 50 seats the first time around in 4 provinces. Sounds like a Federal party to me.

How many of those 50 seats did they win East of Manitoba?
Come on now, let's call a spade a spade. Reform began as a Western protest party, (even though they ran candidates across the country) just as the Bloc is a Quebec protest party. Their platform promoted Western political views, and every MP they elected came from the West. Get your head out of the sand. It's not liberal media spin. It's factual.
Why do you think they rebranded themselves as the Alliance? Because they wanted to shake the image that Reform was a Western protest party.
