I don't know, haven't lived in QC long enough. But a thing that seems to be recurring is that quebeckers are good at not being taken for granted. Not even the Bloc can always count on winning (remember the orange wave?) so the federal parties always have to pander to us, in ways that they don't need to eg for Albertans who will dumbly votre blue no matter who.

Man, I wish Alberta was more like that. Zombie brand loyalty is frustrating.

On the other hand, it lets me pretend we don't have FPTP, I guess. There's less pandering to strategic demographics when there are none.
