The Reform outlook on Quebec reflected what a lot of westerners felt; it was pretty much "plan for the worst and hope for the best


That was the problem with the Reformers they openly discriminated against all of Quebec.

There were Reform candidates ready to run in Montreal but Preston said no and at that time he said Reform was a national party.

They wanted Quebec as an equal partner in Confederation, not a "special" partner, with differing rights and privileges

Yet Harper recognized Quebec as a nation with in a nation

To that end they were for more decentralization of powers (from the Feds to the provinces)

The same thing the Reformers wanted and originally Harper ran on

Perhaps some link to validate your claim

Fortunately for you the Conservative got rid of that link

So wanting Quebec to be an equal partner, yet realizing that there was a lot of pro-seperatist sentiment in the province and that the country might have to move on without Quebec, should they vote for seperation is the Toronto Liberal definition of discrimination... gotcha.
