While I agree with you that the Tories hold little to no sway in Quebec, which is either Liberal or Bloc, I fail to understand how that makes the province "spoiled". What are those threats you speak of? If you mean the referendums, that's pretty groundless. If it didn't work when Levesque was in power, then it never will. Even though the vote was split in 1995, if the "Yes" side had reaped 51%, I still believe full separation would not have taken place. Seperatism is now a boring topic in Quebec.
As for the unification of the Tories and Alliance, I can't wait to see how long it takes before they realize how much patching up they have to do before presenting a unified front to the Liberals. Some members are already becoming independents! Liberals will just have to sit back and poke holes in their policies while they win yet another election.
