I don't normally agree with you BA, but I will agree that Coyne showed a bias against the NDP when he said he enjoyed seeing Jack Layton betrayed and the look on his face. That was a stupid and unworthy comment for a political analyst to make.
On the issue of the BQ though, when you talk about "democracy" you forget that the BQ does not necessarily have an automatic right to be in the House. Many countries, including democratic ones, prevent separatist parties because it is a threat to the stability of the country and federation itself. Countries have a right to protect themselves from breaking up. There are reasonable limitations on democracy, and one of those may be restricting separatist parties from being elected. It's not a clear-cut issue - arguments can be made on both sides.
