比如：

REGION SUD-OUEST DU QUEBEC
: n. f4 C4 n1 X, f. K1480 RUE BELANGER - SUITE 101
" l4 t  P$ V1 G! G) aMONTREAL  PQ  H2G 1A7
514 374-3688
5 a- z6 b+ [. W12 ETAPE*514 376-9230

又比如在Fedex上写QC是错误的，要写成PQ?
" O! i2 t. G* W# n6 I  N' q# e! w
哪位大虾知道？

haha! don't be foolish.

both PQ and QC are correct abbreviations for quebec province. today we use more and more QC than PQ because PQ has become synonymous with Parti Québecois, not the province itself;and   since other provinces do not have a P for province in their two-digit codes, QC was considered a more appropriate designation for Quebec.

For every problem, there is always a solution, which is so quick, so appealing, and so wrong.              

Ferdinand

That's it . Why didn't I think of that.  :confused:

zelda

PQ = Province of Quebec but who knows QC should be Province of Quebec or Quebec City.

That's why it should be PQ for province of Quebec.

因为所有的County 都是XC, Queens County怎么改？如果把C改掉就不是County了.

加拿大还真行，照顾美国的一个县，把自己的省缩写改了。不知道美国为什么那样不肯改自己的县名却让加拿大改了。

Ferdinand

QC在加拿大范围内使用是可以的，但是出了加拿大就不行,为什么 ?
3 U% E" B7 n% I5 L/ i据俺的推测,是这样的 :因为美国的XX郡(比city大) 都简写作XC, 例如 ORANGE COUNTY 写作OC, 美国那么多County,肯定有缩写作QC的(如queens county).为了不致搞混,就把QC改成了PQ. 为什么只有QUÉBEC ?因为别的PROVINCE 的缩写不是XC.
这样解释科学了吧.

不管科学不科学，MontrealFisher说的对，我问过房东就是PQ。其他省不同。
