Can a Bloc Quebecois candidate win in rural Saskatchewan?
Has anyone ever tried to run for the Bloc outside of Quebec?

I'd like to try it sometime (probably not anytime soon, since I'm not Canadian).

2. They'd need to run first
THey could have a chance in Northern NB or St Boniface..but there's no rural Saskatchewan French town big enough to elect them on their own

4. Why would they run there?
They only care about Quebec. That platform wouldn't attract a lot of votes outside of Quebec.

6. You never know...
.there might be a few cranks out in the prairies that might be tempted by the possibility of jettisoning Quebec.

But they would have as much a chance at winning as, say, an NDP candidate in Calgary.:rofl:
