The national numbers were scary but Layton’s gains were all in Quebec. The NDP took 39 seats away from the Bloc.

Doesn’t that place the QB on the political Endangered Species List?

It buries them. To gain status as an official party (and get the $2 per vote subsidy), they need a minimum of 12 seats. Since the BQ finances relied almost entirely on the subsidy, they’ll be broke.

Is this as much a generational matter as a political one (i.e. younger voters in Quebec do not identify with the BQ)?

Not sure. I think that Quebec voters simply got tired of being shut out of the national political equation.
