Interesting that this is considered a win for fiscal conservatives in Quebec. The recent Federal budget had a lot of money for Quebec, and there was quite a bit of spending (for a party that is Conservative).
It just seems liek a bit of a disconnect - Quebec is considered fairly liberal (I'm not speaking political party), but in this election has shown a fiscally conservative vein. Will that sentiment extend federally (as some in this thread have surmised), or will the BQ adopt more fiscally conservative policies in pursuit of this voting block and then point at the CPC as attempting to buy Quebec?
A pretty interesting result, both provincially and perhaps federally.
