Why is it that Québec seems to be so electorally 'sticky' at the federal level? Is it that the kind of person who might be inclined to vote for the CPC in another province tends to vote for the Bloc in Québec?

The Bloc are the conservative party of Quebec, they are on language and cultural stuff and immigration. Also the conservative party of today aren't the PCs of old which was a more eastern canada dominated party like the Liberals. the CPC is built from the old reform party which was very western populist and anti-eastern Canada and anti-Quebec. Look at every premier of Alberta bringing up equalization. I don't know if CPC could tolerate a Quebecer as a leader (unless he won and delivered LOL).

At some point we'll either find out that Poilievre lied to his base (like O'Toole did) or we need to believe him when he tells us who he is: an alt-right nut job more than happy to spread disinformation and campaign on ad hominem attacks and gimmicky slogans rather than substantial government-in-waiting policy and shadow budgets. Yes, we're experiencing terrible inflation now, but so is the rest of the world and Canada is faring better than most. What would the CPC have done differently, let market liquidity crumble instead of supporting Canadians during a global pandemic?

"gimmicky slogans rather than substantial government-in-waiting policy" that also describes the Trudeau Liberals exactly LOL

Is that you, Trudeau? Could you please consider calling for an election? It seems like you could benefit from a majority.
