【英文原文】
Quebec, Canada, Cash Cow, 1997Quebec is the 'cash cow' of Canada, many Québécois think, convinced that they pay more taxes to Ottawa, the national capital, than they receive in benefits. Yet even Quebec government studies show that the province receives a net cash flow of at least two billion dollars U.S. from Ottawa, while other studies reckon it to be much higher. Quebec's dairy farmers are themselves guaranteed a 47 percent national market share for processed milk. Despite such subsidies, support for independence remains strong in the rural French-speaking area.
【中文翻譯】
很多魁北克人認為魁北克是加拿大的“現金牛”。他們確信與他們得到的好處相比，他們向首都渥太華繳納了更多的稅款。但是，連魁北克政府的檔案也表明本省從渥太華收到至少二十億美元的純現金流轉，而其他的研究估計數目會更高。魁北克的牛奶場工人本身被確保擁有全國牛奶加工市場47%的占有率。盡管有這樣的津貼，說法語的地區還是強烈支持魁北克獨立。
