Yeah, more power to the provinces. Also, lowering the national debt, because a soverign Quebec takes 25% of the national debt with them. :P And for some reason, the Bloc seems really big on foreign aid, but that won't agree so much with the Conservatives.
I'm trying to look up their platform, and they actually seem pretty Left. Heh. This is from CBC:
The main goal of the Bloc is obviously separation from Quebec, but they have other planks in the platform as well. For the most part, their policies encourage the transferring of control and money to the provinces.
The Bloc platform and campaign frequently mention government corruption, with special emphasis on the sponsorship scandal.
The Bloc leans left in many of its proposals, including implementing the Kyoto Protocol on greenhouse gas emissions, increasing foreign aid spending, asking for a consultation on the "purpose" of the army before any more major spending decisions are made. The party supports same-sex marriage.
The party would like to see more measures to counter what it describes as the "ill effects" of globalization.
They also call for protection of a supply management system in agriculture, and support for fishing and forestry.
Oh, and decriminalizing marijuana, apparently. And they support gay marriage. This will definitely be an uneasy government. :P
