Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet says he’s staying modest about the prospect of his party forming official Opposition in the next federal election, though it would be a “spectacular” result.

“I refuse to see the election in terms of pride or a trophy, or to claim to be part of history,” he told The Canadian Press in a year-end interview.
