The Irrelevant Popular Vote

Hello. Congrats to all the Canadian parties for all their efforts. I'm sure they're exhausted right now.
There were big gains for the NDP and Green parties in popular vote. However, their seat totals at this time do not seem to have changed much.
Is the popular vote irrelevant? The Bloc party results seem to say yes. They obviously don't have much non-Quebec support, yet still get the 3rd most seats as of this writing.
Should the other parties do what the Bloc do? Focus on a lot of seats in a small area instead of getting the whole country? That's what Wal-Mart would do. And some would say the Liberals and Conservatives do now, as some provinces don't have anyone elected from those provinces.
Focus on seats, parties, and not an irrelevant popular vote.
