"The Bloc Québécois is threatening to spark an election if the forthcoming Conservative budget does not include a $5-billion compensation package for Quebec.
Bloc Leader Gilles Duceppe said Wednesday that his party won’t support the budget unless Ottawa agrees to settle a long-running dispute with Quebec, in which the province is seeking $2.2-billion to cover the cost of harmonizing provincial and federal sales taxes in the 1990s. The dispute flared recently when British Columbia and Ontario adopted the HST and got assistance from Ottawa."
I guess the rest of Canada have to pay up or what? Big threat when they have no chance at power.
Trouble makers.
