Roachboy: In Canada the executive branch and legislative branch are combined. So while the legislative branch has taken a break, the PM and his ministers are still the executives and free to exercise all the powers that go along with that responsibility.
As for Harper's Quebec gaffes, I could really care less. It's time the ROC stops being held hostage by the whims of one province. This country has been walking on egg shells for over a century. Besides it is not Harper who has driven a wedge between the Quebecois (Francophone implies all french Canadians across the country) and the ROC, Quebec and it's political elite do a fine job of pissing off rest of us, especially Westerners. We they no longer see themselves as different and above the rest of us will there no longer be wedge. Any Coalition government will essentially remove the voice of the west, a nice big "Fuck you" from the eastern provinces to the county's new economic engine. Seperatism may be renewed, but it won't necessarilly be in Quebec.
