Supporters begin to clear out of Bloc HQ
The lights are on at Le National theatre, a.k.a. the Bloc Québécois headquarters, in Montreal as things start to dial down for the night.
Blanchet made his speech earlier tonight, acknowledging Bloc candidates who weren’t elected and thanking the party faithful.
He closed his speech underlining that Canada would have to answer to Quebec and ensure its interests are respected — even though the party is projected to lose a chunk of its seats.
“You have overcome a challenge that would have literally overwhelmed people of lesser character than yours,” Blanchet told the crowd in French.

“This will once again be an example of what distinguishes Quebec and what makes it a great nation that is unique and whose voice will be heard around the world.”
