【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.

很多魁北克人认为魁北克是加拿大的“现金牛”。他们确信与他们得到的好处相比，他们向首都渥太华缴纳了更多的税款。但是，连魁北克政府的档案也表明本省从渥太华收到至少二十亿美元的纯现金流转，而其他的研究估计数目会更高。魁北克的牛奶场工人本身被确保拥有全国牛奶加工市场47%的占有率。尽管有这样的津贴，说法语的地区还是强烈支持魁北克独立。
