The '''Bloc Québécois''' is a [[Socialism|socialist]] separatist party in [[Canada]] that only runs in the province of [[Quebec]] during elections.
Some people relate them to the [[Front de libération du Québec]], which is responsible for over 200 bombings, kidnapping and the death of 5 people. Among them Pierre Laporte, a provincial minister and James Richard Cross, a British Ambassador. The FLQ is now history and was far apart from the founding members of the bloc in the political spectrum.
The party was created after the failure of the Meech Lake Accord, a pan-canadian agreement on the recognition of Québec as a distinct society, according it a constitutional veto and other cultural rights. The treaty was signed in 1987 but did not pass the june 1990 Canadian referendum on the matter. Their first members of parliament were dissident french Canadian member of parliamant(MP) from the [[Conservative Party of Canada]] and the [[Liberal Party of Canada]] who left the federalist option after the failed Meech referendum.
