 | | The Bloc did not contest the 1949 federal election bringing the party's existence to an end. | | | The party nominated 35 candidates in the 1945 federal election but only two were elected as Members of Parliament. | | | In the April 27, 1942 national referendum held in Canada, a little more than 70% of Quebec voters refused to free the federal government from its promise to avoid a general mobilization, while about 80 per cent of the citizens of the rest of Canada accepted it. |

| | Supporters contend that without the Bloc, most of the 75 Quebec seats would be occupied by Liberals, and that the presence of Quebeckers in cabinet has never prevented governmental acts judged detrimental to the interests of Quebec. | | | In the 1993 federal election, the Bloc won 54 seats in Quebec. | | | In the 1997 federal election, the Bloc Québécois dropped to 44 seats, losing official opposition status to the Reform Party. |

| | Freedom without justice is artificial, deceptive and hypocritical; it can be used to justify the mechanism of the free market and the servitude of the proletariat; such freedom is, in fact, the antithesis of freedom. Likewise, justice without freedom leads to tyranny and to the totalitarianism of Soviet communism or Fascist corporatism. | | | Out of this genuine intellectual ferment, Christian Democracy took political form as the Mouvement Republicain Populaire (or MRP), which became part of the French governing coalition of 1946. | | | More dramatically, Christian Democratic parties emerged in all of the East European nations freed from Communism in 1989-90.
