Item consists of an editorial cartoon published in the Toronto Star. An elderly woman wearing a long dress, a fox stole, and an elaborate hat adorned with a Union Jack flag is depicted running with a wheelbarrow full of cash. The wheelbarrow is identified as "Investors." As she runs in the opposite direction of a sign post pointing to Quebec, a man dressed in a suit and tie, dashes towards Quebec, carrying with him briefcases stuffed with money. One of the briefcases is identified as "Regional Development Aid," and the man is Jean Marchand, the federal minister responsible for the Department of Regional Economic Expansion.
