Will Canada ever have a "Bloc Quebecois" Prime Minister?

Question

1) Wouldn't it be interesting if you had this Prime Minister of Canada representing the Bloc in Quebec?

How would Canada change under a Bloc Quebecois Prime Minister? Are there any outside Quebec districts that vote for the Bloc?

2) Also, what are the factors that determine voting Liberal VS NDP? Do some regions habitually vote Liberal and some NDP? Or does that depend entirely on who is running? (Among Non-Conservative voters)

Answer 1

The Bloc are the Quebec separatist party and only run in Quebec.They will never win because there are not enough seats in Quebec to make it possible.

Liberals are capitalists and believe in the free market,but also believes in strong social programs to help prevent poverty and crime.The NDP are the socialist party and do not believe in the free market.

I am a Liberal and consider myself a centralist.Dion was pulling the party too far to the left and that`s why they lost.If they stay in the centre they can attract votes from both sides.The NDP are strong in BC and Saskatchewan and the liberals are strong in Ontario.Liberals used to have a lot of support in Quebec,but the appearance of the Bloc and the sponsorship scandal as lost them a lot of support in Quebec.The Liberals and the NDP are strong in urban centres and the Conservatives are strong in rural communities.

Sorry the last part about rural and urban communities really only applies to Ontario and if the vote gets split between NDP and liberal the Consevatives do have a chance to win.

Answer 2

1.Canada could not possibly have a Bloc PM because he is separatist and even if he did win I doubt Canada would separate, also there would be another election the vote in the party for the rest of the country. Only people in Quebec can vote Bloc.



2. It would depend on who is running even though NDP and Liberal parties are both liberal or democratic as the Americans would say, and yes you are correct about



John McCain = Conservative



Hilary Clinton = Liberal



Barack Obama = NDP

Answer 3

In the entire Canada there are 308 seats and out of 308 Québec has 75 so no, even if all seats in Québec were electing the Bloc party it would not be enough for them to have enough seats to be elected the official party in power. The Bloc only represents Québec's territory, they do not represent francophones outside Québec.



Yes some counties are labelled as red or blue. Region of Québec city is Bloc and when you travel east you see more Liberal counties. I do not know about NDP, it's not a popular party in the east.



In my home-town north of province of Québec, all small fishing communities, the liberals have been elected for generations because of the demographic reality of this county. Most people move away when they reach 18 to continue their education in big cities and they don't come back so what's left behind there are babyboomers and we all know babyboomers vote Liberals.

Answer 4

There are only about 54 parliamentary seats in Quebec, so it would be impossible for that reason alone for there to ever be a Bloc Quebecois leader as Prime Minister.



And as for Saskatchewan.......Saskatchewan isn't as rural as a lot of people think. About 40% of the population lives either in Regina or Saskatoon.

Answer 5

It will never happen. The Bloc Quebecois don't run candidates in any province other than Quebec. And even if they did, nobody would vote for them. The only thing interesting about them is how they are legally allowed to exist as a federal party in a country they are trying to destroy.

Answer 6

1) There will never be a Bloc PM.

2) I think older voters vote Liberal instead of NDP and younger voters go for NDP over Liberals

Answer 7

no

no

and no
