Many people in Quebec view the Bloc as a "pro-Quebec" regional party, not necessarily the "anti-Canada" separatist party the rest of us see them as.
Here's a quote from a member of another forum I visit regarding the Bloc. For context, it's important to note that he's an anglophone and not even from Quebec originally.

The Bloc is a fantastic party when they are forced to work with others, because a lot of their aims for quebec apply equally to other people. Canadians need to get over their kneejerk reaction to OMG SEPERATISTS! Gilles Duceppe is a fantastic political leader because he's been forced to acknowledge reality. I am reminded of a quote from a debate last year: "Three of us aren't going to be Prime Minister, and I'm the only one willing to admit it."
The things he pushes for are always pro people, and if they were Canada-wide it would be a win for Canada as well as Quebec.
