Lol, how's he coming up with that one? In any case, even if the conservatives won a plurality who would prop them up? No one.
He should blame himself for being so toxic that nobody is willing to prop him up
This is a parliamentary democracy, you can't get the confidence of the house then gtfoh
No, it's just that he has a chance at a plurality, but no hope of a majority, so he's setting the seeds of discord right now. If he knew he had a chance at a majority he wouldn't be crying over this 24/7

Léger fédéral poll in Québec
Seeing how low the CPC's support is tells me maybe enough people planning to vote for the Bloc will be scared by the prospect of a CPC government and flock back to the LPC. The Bloc's positions are far, far closer to those of the LPC than those of the CPC.
Oh, cool, Bloc with the "balance of power". Just what we need...
CPC support went to Bloc though. They share a similar base.

Yup. They tried to force progressive votes to the NDP by bumping the table that direction and ended up giving the NDP soft Con votes instead.
They tilted. Now they lost the bonus of trying to get the progressive votes to the NDP and lost the score they had built up while that ball was in play.
Kinda stretching that metaphor a bit far, but that's sort of my thing now I think. :P
TVA's coverage is terrible. Can't stand it, they can't hide their separatist bias.Léger fédéral poll in Québec
TVA is the absolute worst, either separatist or conservative.
Zero liberal voices
But, internal polling.
Writing is on the wall for the Cons. Already grasping at straws.

I like how the People's Party logo looks like some off brand conservative party logo. The C and the maple leaf inside
He thinks he's got someone else's balls in his hands, but he's just squeezing his own.
It's this, IMO:
Tiktaalik Gutter will tell you it's 100% nationalism/xenophobia, and... well, bill 21 played a part too but it would be grossly oversimplifying to say it's the only factor. Hell, if I were even a bit more separatist-leaning myself, I might have been persuaded by Blanchet to vote Bloc, he really surprised me with how sharp he could be.
Then again, I thought Duceppe was strong at the last debates too, and the Bloc got decimated, so... 🤷♀️
Bill 21 & Trudeau's boneheadedness in saying that he'll help fight the law. Instead of getting 50+ liberal seats, he gave them away to Bloc.
These guys are smart and really know their shit. It's a real shame they are so utterly wasted in the Bloc. They could do good work provincially, or even federally in another party like the NDP. Sigh.
correction, Premier Legault interfered in this election knowingly with his poison pill
Yeah this seemed rigged to put Trudeau in this position.
Legault orchestrated this on purpose, he could have waited after the Federal Election to dole out his more controversial Bills but no, he made it front and centre knowingly that it would trip up the Federal Parties.
Every idiot is complaining about one Obama tweet but nobody is complaining and all these Premiers injecting themselves into a Federal Election
Well one Premier had to eject himself from the election.
But they all seem to be in this together.
When you hedge your bets against yourself, it's a bad look.
Well, specifically, I read it as he believes the CPC will win a plurality with the most seats, but the other parties will back the LPC with a minority.
Which means Trudeau is still PM. It's either a Liberal majority, minority, or CPC plurality, and they all result in Liberals staying in power.
You don't play that kind of mind game on TV. That would be suggesting that a strong opposition is a sign of weakness.
I disagree. Quebec politicians don't care about the what or the when when it comes to the federal government. The CAQ government is not there to disrupt federal election, it is there to enact has much change they want before we revert back to the PLQ/PQ duopoly. Don't be such a conspiracy theorist.
and on the other side on radio-canada they are bias liberal....and most radio are more bias conservative...
This is the only election that i go vote totally blind, i can't stand to listen anything, anywhere without getting angry.
why not both? They obviously care about how quebec is treated by the feds
Same thing here. Isn't every PM the same? they all put themselves in the elections to get as much promises they can. Mayors do the same when it comes to provincial elections.
As far for the resurgence of the bloc that shit was written in the sky when all federal parties decided one way or another they wanted to force something on Quebec (fight for bill 21, pipeline for Alberta).
Even the provincial liberals warned Federal parties not to do that iirc and of course Blanchet being better than the trash fire leaders before him also helps a whole lot.
Uh Radio-Canada is a PQ MNA manufacturer
I can list you a bunch of former SRC journalists who became PQ MNAs
Completely agree with this, it's hugely reductive to just simplify it to xenophobia and Bill 21, because all of those xenophobic elements were already there to begin with. Blanchet is just straight up good at being the leader of the Bloc, like you say, almost so good it's a shame because his talent and intelligence is wasted there. He is smart and persuasive and has a decent core group of ideas to keep pounding on. It's an easy way to just dismiss the larger issue ("the Bloc is running a good campaign") so you don't have to engage in a more complicated response ("We could've done nothing, it was just Bill 21!") instead.
After 1995, Legault was a sitting PQ MNA part of the "Pures et Dures" of the party who stumped for an immediate 3rd Referendum right away.
He has harboured anti-Canada sentiment throughout his entire adult life
Can you not? Like, seriously, can you stop being like this for a moment? I know we're all stressed out by this election, but you don't need to be abrasive and sarcastic all of the time, you know.
I'm not even a Bloc voter. In fact, I think very few of us here are. I've criticized them plenty in the past. But Tiktaalik asked why the Bloc appealed to Québécois, and we're answering, and you are free to answer as well, but you aren't the only one with input in this. I know you're capable of giving your input without being disrespectful and belittling others, so, please. Do that.
I'm getting worried that, with the hints that the Conservatives are faltering, progressives and people under 40 will feel like the situation is not bad and that we are not at risk of the Conservatives winning power.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT GET COMPLACENT!!!
VOTE!!!
