It has temporarily weakened a certain form of fiscal conservatism. Remember when the FLQ attacks, the 1980 referendum loss, the 1995 referendum loss, the 2007 provincial election and the 2011 federal election destroyed Quebec nationalism? Yeah, I do, and so do the 32 Bloc MPs in the House of Commons. All that happened was that it moderated and changed its messaging, but as long as there is a Quebec, there will be demand for some sort of nationalism. Just the same way that as long as a society exists, there will be demand for some sort of conservatism.
I should note that Canadian Conservatives are distinct, in the sense that a key thing uniting them is an agreement about the oil & gas industry. At some point, this will cause resentment among the Conservative base and could be the opening for an environmentalist Conservative faction at some point, more out of opposition to a platform focused on that one particular issue than on a real commitment thereof.
