And even then, by the 1997 election, Reform's focus was to win over Canada and they were still perceived as a regional party, the whole move to the Canadian Alliance was to try and overcome that.

Reform wanted to be a national party that could govern. The Bloc want to be a lobby group with no responsiblity.
