Gilles Duceppe has announced that the Bloc won't bother defending Canada's softwood lumber industry against the Cons' attempt to sell it out. Between this and the Bloc's inexplicable decision to support PMS' budget earlier this year, it's hard to see why any progressive Quebecker would want to keep supporting the party which is actually providing the votes to enable the Cons' demolition of both social and economic interests alike. Which should make the NDP convention and the Lib leadership race all the more interesting, as both parties look to take up some of the votes and seats now held by the one party in Parliament which truly has proven itself to be useless.
(The NDP is already criticizing Duceppe's move - though I'd disagree with Layton's statement that this is only "strike two" rather than the last straw.)
