Charlatan, Harper is 12 seats short of a Majority with a poor showing in Quebec. He doesn't need Quebec for a majority. I would also expect federalists in Quebec will now turn their Liberal vote into a Conservative one given the alignment we've seen between the Seperatists and the Liberals. Quebec simply is not as valuable to the federal politics as it once was, and with shifting electoral base to the west it will increasingly lose it's power.
Given the pandering done to Quebec during Harper's time in power, and no pay off from it, the Tories will no longer seek to appease the Quebec electorate. Let them suffer the Bloc Quebecois.
