I don't vote bloc this year (I sometimes do), but a good friend of mine does. So I asked him to try to get you that perspective.

He likes the Bloc's ideas in general and has often voted for them. What he really likes from the Bloc is a bigger, clearer separation of concerns without a full separation though. He pointed out that he felt compelled by Singh's during the debate until he found Singh was trying to bring too many responsibilities to the federal and "take credit". As for being concerned about Trump, he is. Although he said while Trump takes a lot of room, we still have all the same problems as before which are still quite important and so it is still worth voting Bloc. He doesn't want a majority government as he fears whoever is in power will just do too much as they please as it is happening in Quebec with the CAQ.

I hope this helps a bit.

Interesting. Thanks for that. I hope we can preserve the individual wants and needs of provinces and territories but also unite as Canadians.
