Oh come on you are so off the mark.

1. Do you know who is the provincial party in Quebec (you guessed it Liberals)

2. Do you realise how different the highly socialist the Bloc is from the Conservatives (check out Duceppes credentials)

3. NDP'ers will turn on the NDP to make sure the the conservatives do not win.

4. Harper made a great move today by saying he would work towards outlawing gay marriage (except this does not apply to people who are already in same sex marriages). Way to go Harper that shows you sure have your mind made up. He single handedly alienates those who are for gay marriage and those who are against jeez.

5. Any talk to common currency or involvment in Iraq will result in a quick end to any minority government. Canada has to keep their holier than thou - we are better than the US- donesn't the world love us image.

6. Sitting here in the middle of Quebec writing this, You are sadly misreading the urge to seperate. Why seperate when you get everything you want by whining about it.

The Bloc is going to sweep the Liberals in Quebec, and gain mightily at their expense, which will embolden them to press their agenda further and further.

I do indeed know how different the Bloc is from the Conservatives. I also know that the United States and Churchill's Britain allied with the Soviet Union in order to defeat Germany. Politics makes for strange bedfellows. The Bloc's gains are the Liberals' losses, not the Conservatives.

At all costs, the Conservatives have to prevent the Liberals from getting the government back. This is their greatest chance in a long, long time. But nobody is going to win a majority.

Gay marriage? The old Liberal bogeymen about Conservatives going to eat everybody's mama. The question is: will the Canadians reject the Conservative party and vote back into power the corrupt Liberals just in order to protect GAY MARRIAGE?
Don't bet on it.

Nobody will win a majority.
And if the NDP will align with the Liberals in order to prevent a Conservative minority government, the only counter would be a Conservative/Bloc coalition, as impossible as that sounds.

It does not matter a whit that the Bloc are socialists. Their focus is Quebec separation, and getting whatever they can from the government along the way. They're not competing with the Conservatives, but with the Liberals in Quebec.

Anyway, we'll all know in about two months who won.
So let's keep the communication going and return.

My prediction is that the Liberals will get crushed in Quebec, and the loss of Quebec seats will mean a narrow loss to the Conservatives in overall numbers.

Then it's a question of coalitions, or of a Conservative minority government.
