	Bloc populaire canadien
		Bloc populaire canadien, a Canadian federal and Québec provincial political movement formed September 1942 in reaction to the National Resources Mobilization Act, Amendment Act, 1942, which removed the existing ban on CONSCRIPTION for military service overseas.
		Inspired by Henri BOURASSA and led by Maxime Raymond, MP, the Bloc included in its basic program Canadian independence and neutrality, provincial autonomy, English-French equality, a co-operative economy and family-based social reforms such as provincial health insurance.
		Led provincially by André LAURENDEAU, the Bloc was a distinct third party in the Québec legislature until the 1948 provincial election, which it did not contest.

	24048 - Papineau
		The Bloc chose as their candidate someone who manages to make Pierre Pettigrew look like a decent politician, which is quite a feat.
		Had the Bloc chosen a better candidate they would have picked up this seat, but they didn't and so Pettigrew will keep his seat even though the race will be close again.
		So a winter victory for the Bloc here is a no brainer, and even if staunch separatist and radical union activist André Frappier experiences a resurgence in popularity (and does well outside of Parc-Extension) AND the Liberals recover a bit by spring, the Bloc will pull a Gagliano and STEAL this riding from the Libs.

		The Bloc populaire canadien was a political party in Quebec founded on September 8, 1942 by opponents of conscription during World War II.
		In the April 27, 1942 panCanadian referendum, a little more than 70 per cent of Quebec citizens refused to free the federal government from its promise to avoid a general mobilization, while about 80 per cent of the citizens of the rest of the Dominion accepted it.
		At the federal level it was led by Maxime Raymond, who had been a Liberal MP since 1925 but crossed the floor over the issue of conscription.

		It is harder to characterize the Bloc because of their single minded focus on Quebec independence, but the rhetoric of some of their leaders indicates that they view themselves as a party of the left.
		Moreover, in 2000, Bloc partisans were second only to the NDP in terms of their self- placements on the left side of the ideological continuum.
		However, the unpopularity of the Bloc’s 1997 leader, Gilles Duceppe, the fact that the PC put too much faith in the popularity of their leader, Jean Charest, instead of offering a credible alternative to the Liberals, and the “widespread and growing” cynicism of the Canadian electorate identified by Nevitte et al.

		We believe that the substitution of the national bloc, increasingly less capable of supporting the domination of the French bourgeoisie, by the left bloc will signify a step forward, provided that at the same time the party of the working class maintains an absolutely independent, critical, and irreconcilably revolutionary line of policy.
		Their disappearance from the scene and substitution by other bourgeois combinations, was caused by the fact that at the time the power of the bourgeois state was much stronger, whereas the proletariat had not yet organised a truly revolutionary party.
		The policy of the International in regard to the French Communist Party is dictated by the desire that the left bloc, whose star is rising over France, shall be inscribed in the annals of history as the last Government of the French bourgeoisie.

	Quebec and Federal Elections, 1867-2006 - Readings - Quebec History
		The "group mentality" is very strong in Quebec, so much so that two of the most successful third parties have been called “blocs”: the Bloc Populaire in the 1940’s and the Bloc Québécois in the 1990’s.
		Two reasons explain the block voting in Quebec: one is the strong sense of community in Quebec, of sharing a common language and culture and, consequently of seeing and appraising events and issues in a similar fashion.
		By contrast, the Nationalist-conservatives (1911), the Bloc Populaire (1945), the Ralliement Créditiste (1962-1979) and the Bloc Québécois (1993 to today) have had some success.

		In other words, the current electoral system rewards the regional concentration of votes (Liberals in Ontario, Reform in the West, Bloc Québecois in Quebec), dismisses modest support in areas outside of the regional stronghold, and punishes parties that have support, albeit thinly spread, across the country.

		The textbook debate took place in May and June of that year and the Conscription Crisis did not break until October-November, but the issue never disappeared from the political agenda.
		As a result of the conscription referendum of 1942 a group of Quebec nationalists had created the third party Bloc Populaire Canadien, pledged to oppose conscription for overseas military service and, more generally, to protect Quebec's rights within Confederation in the face of what it saw as the centralizing pressures of the federal government.
		For its part, English-speaking Canada voiced its continuing dissatisfaction over what it saw as Quebec's lack of patriotism, the non-belligerent role of the home army, the failure of the Ottawa government to ensure "equality of sacrifice," and the like.
