AFAIK Quebec tends not to elect many Conservatives - probably the fewest per capita in Canada provincially/territorially, per the headline. They elect a lot of Liberal and Bloc candidates. My conjecture (which is irrelevant in days like this when the Libs poll pitifully) is that how many Liberals Quebec (which, like Ontario, has a ton of seats) elects, as opposed to Bloc, has a pretty sizeable indirect effect on who forms governments between the Liberals and Conservatives. I should add that I'm ignorant of where the Bloc is on the political spectrum, so my 'Liberals and Bloc split votes' hypothesis is blind in that respect

The Bloc votes based on Quebec's interests so it makes them left of center most of the time as for the most part it's a progressive province when it comes to social services and so on (even though it gets depicted as being super conservative/anti migrants, based on stats it's usually the most welcoming province for migrants).
