DescriptionSurging support for the Conservatives in Quebec has sovereigntist forces teaming up in the last days of the campaign as they try to reverse the Tory tide. On Wednesday, Parti Québécois Leader André Boisclair called Conservative Leader Stephen Harper "dangerous" for Quebec.

"I fear that all we're hearing now is a siren song," Boislcair told a news conference on Wednesday. "I'm asking Quebecers to pay attention because behind the spoken words there are hard facts."

Boisclair said Harper's vow to fix the fiscal gap between the federal and provincial governments hasn't been specific enough. He also said Harper needs to provide more detail about equalization payments.
