No, it was precisely due to the first-past-the-post voting system. The BQ got more than 50% of the vote and that gave it more than two-thirds of the seats. Nationally the BQ vote was only about nine percent which would have given it only about 30 seats under proportional representation. That fact makes Trudeau's excuse that voting reform would result in radical groups getting control of Parliament look like the BS it is.
That dang carbon tax be killing BC

More mental'oss BS
B.C. saw 73,000 new jobs created in 2016, but this is not a good news story
We hear a lot about B.C.'s strong jobs performance -- it's mentioned in every speech and media appearance by our Premier and members of her government. On the surface, it sounds like a good news story with over 73,000 new jobs created in 2016 while many provinces actually lost jobs. But what the Premier doesn't say is that most of these jobs were created in Metro Vancouver and Victoria, and our longer-term track record on job creation is much less rosy.
The headline-making job creation numbers mask large regional disparities across the province.
Outside Metro Vancouver and Greater Victoria, B.C.'s jobs story is nothing to brag about.
Recent job growth also comes on the heels of six years of slow recovery since the 2008-2009 recession. B.C. ranked near the bottom of the pack compared to other provinces between 2009 and 2015, ahead only of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia (based on job creation as a share of all employment, the best way to compare provinces of different size).
Adding last year’s strong job performance bumps B.C. to third place -- behind Ontario and Alberta (which despite the job losses suffered this year has seen the strongest net job-creation in Canada since the recession).
The picture, however, becomes very bleak when we get out of the Lower Mainland, where the vast majority of job growth is located. The Metro Vancouver urban area is home to the vast majority of all net new jobs created in the province in 2016 (83 per cent). The broader Lower Mainland/Southwest region of B.C., which includes the Fraser Valley, Squamish, Whistler and the Sunshine Coast, is home to 94 per cent of B.C.'s net job growth.
The only other economic region that saw net job creation last year is Vancouver Island/Coast, which gained just over 9,000 jobs -- two thirds of them in Greater Victoria.
The other regions of B.C. lost jobs in 2016 (see Figure 1).

I'm just trying to help your son who has a crappy job and poor DNA.
You should be thankful that somebody is trying to undo all the damage you've done to the poor guy. It's a good thing there are people like me who care.

The problem is that they rely only on fear to motivate people to their side.
This is Loc's existential crisis.
Without a free falling economy or some made up immigration war, people won't vote for the racists.

You know, for being one of those "the science is settled" idiots, you sure have no understanding of science. From a purely physics point of view, full renewable is impossible. What are you going to use for base-load generation??? The physics just won't work. Ironically, wind power has not reduced Ontario's GHGs by any amount and in fact actually increased them.
Sorry cupcake, but your stupid ideology is based entirely on fantasy, not science.
The actual stuff or mass of the stuff of the planet is constantly in fluctuation through and because of solar irradiation. It's variablity maintains orbital stability .
“Stock prices have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau. I do not feel there will be soon if ever a 50 or 60 point break from present levels, such as they have predicted. I expect to see the stock market a good deal higher within a few months.”

This Utopian belief of now infinite stability within the financial markets due to ongoing Central Bank interventions is a most dangerous concept. This is particularly the case given the structural and economic shifts in the economy due to the rise in debt which has derailed the efficient allocation of capital. As shown below the economy is currently mired at the lowest average annual growth rate since 1790. (Data courtesy of Measuring Worth)
