In terms of federal elections, Quebec offers a compelling case study in how a province can wield significant influence within Canada. In contrast to Alberta’s narrow, one-party voting pattern, Quebec strategically aligns its votes to maximize its leverage. Throughout Canadian history, Quebec has demonstrated a remarkable ability to support different parties depending on which best serves its interests at that time. For example, Brian Mulroney’s Conservative victories in the 1980s were heavily reliant on strong support from Quebec.

Quebec having twice as many seats as Alberta in the HoC (78 / 23% vs 37 / 11%) makes that a teeny bit easier for Quebec I think...
