Yes the Bloc is primarily francophone. And the attacks by Harper are mainly offensive to those who are Quebecers (francophone Quebecers who support the Bloc or not) since they have become accustomed to the Bloc party and see the Bloc as their French voice of Quebecers in Ottawa(federal politics)
And no the opportunity for anglophones to be swayed to the Bloc is a non-starter because the Bloc is only interested in the interests of the French majority. Anglophone rights is Quebec are abismal in comparison to francophone rights throughout the rest of Canada, which is an official bilingual country.
