Ottawa will be giving another $16-million to local tourism associations across the province that can help their members adapt to COVID-19 safety measures and promote their destinations.About $20-million had been allocated in the federal budget while about $10-million is new money previously announced in May.
Meanwhile, Ottawa is giving about $12-million to the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, which will fund 79 tourism projects across the four Atlantic provinces. Atlantic Canada is also receiving $4.5-million for its various tourism marketing associations to help them promote local events and boost travel across the region.“The tourism sector and the 1.8 million people it employs across Canada have been hit hard by the slowdown caused by COVID-19,” Joly said in a statement.
“We are working with businesses so they are ready to reopen and to help Canadian tourism to flourish once again.” Chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam says there were more than 254,000 people tested for COVID-19 across Canada in the past week – the highest number of tests in a single week since the pandemic began.Our Morning Update and Evening Update newsletters are written by Globe editors, giving you a concise summary of the day’s most important headlines.

Handouts, of course. Just open the economy!!! JustinTrudeau
Not sure why Quebec continues to receives so much funding from all sources vs Ontario....
Because the other provinces and territories won't see a drop in tourism or what?
So the west sending $Billions isnt enough. Maybe it's time to build that wall
Border to New Brunswick will be closed all summer!
Doesn’t seem right 🇨🇦
No one is going there 😂
What the 13 billion a year in Equalized payments isn't enough? Ffs.
Let me guess. 45 to Quebec
Same Quebec that blocked it's borders? Wonder why the tourism went down...
International border closed! Restricted travel so WHAT tourism!?
WTF!!!
What a disgusting joke this is
This is for buying votes
Trudeau giving Quebec money for nothing. Meanwhile Canada’s credit rating down graded today.
just buying votes
We don’t want your blood money. No thanks.
Tourism? What happened to the 'stay home, save lives' bullshit?
Quebec giving 50% off provincial parks! So Canada's paying for it!
They shut down the maritime provinces to tourism for the entire summer? I had to cancel my trip to NFLD. What the heck is this about?
East and the rest of Canada.
These regions are more important to our Dear Leader’s political survival, and votes cost money.
Quebec getting more money again and again......Does this sweetie-pie know that Canada is in VERY big debt
What will the towns of the Alberta Rockies and foothills be getting for tourism from the feds?
Wait, so we cannot visit the area and if our Maritime homeowner friends want to go to their own homes they have to quarantine for 14 days and get permission to do so... but let’s grift some more mystery money out? To promote NOT being able to go there? WTF
Every dime the PM continues to give to Quebec and the Atlantic provinces just helps to promote Wexit. With a credible leader now in place, watch it flourish.
Bribery for votes
JT's main squeeze Melanie Joly-- no favouritism here! (Not to mention vote-buying...)
But nothing for other provinces?!
Tourism eh. Good luck with that.
jkenney
Quebec, come for the poutine’ stay for the rest of your life with the COVID.
Trudeau pandering to his voter base, again.
Promoting and funding the liberal based eastern provinces (where provincial borders are closed). And ignoring the conservative west provinces where tourism is equally important. More hypocrisy and divisive thinking.
Atlantic Canada is currently closed to tourism. Did you miss the memo? Wtf?!
GREAT IDEA! BRILLIANT ACTUALLY! Many thanks!
Tourism is provincial jurisdiction. Qu is churning budget surpluses. They don't need more $$. Also, it is amazing how the leaves on the money tree only fall east of the MB/ON border.
And yet another reason why I would never spend my vacay dollars in eastern Canada.
She's pretty good looking. You can hardly blame Trudeau for banging her..
All about votes. Alberta needs to separate or ramp up the discussion. It worked wonders for Quebec.
While pension plans across the country invest in foreign countries. Canada's back!
So 45 million to Quebec and the remaining goes to Atlantic provinces?
Sweet f all for Alberta and the Calgary Stampede, an event that people from all over the world plan to attend. F&$!!! Quebec and every pandering politician to it.
The east just loves their govt money. Another election bought and paid for. donewithcanada
Provinces west of Quebec need not apply. . .
In these lying, COVID times, that money is best spend not being spent! The Liberals should not be spending another dime. Shame on the bankofcanada and Poloz for allowing the traitorous Libs to do so much financial damage to Canada! Disgusting traitors! CanadahasNoPrimeMinister
Quebec Quebec Quebec
Oh, what a shock! Liberals giving MORE money to Quebec...
Well. There is that favoritism thing again. Buying votes as usual, while Western Canada sinks into oblivion. And you wonder why he is loathed by so many here? Why this country is so divided? You are blind if you can't see that. TrudeauWorstPMever
WEXIT
The government should also be giving $$$ to help the film industry there! CanCon CanadianContent Filmmaking filmandtv TV Actra weareallourstories Native Nunavut NB NL Labrador NS PEI Quebec ACTRAnat ActraMarit ACTRAMtl
More handouts....more votebuying....cultureofdefeat Maritimes
Like we don't give enough to Quebec already.
Have to keep the Liberal base well greased for the upcoming election.
A lot of baby boomers still live in the Atlantic provinces, and they are still very much brainwashed and believe “Liberals are the best“ 😑 I see this as a ploy to continue the boomers to vote Liberal
The east should follow the advice they usually give the west: You should have diversified. 🤷♀️ But now is rheir chance to retrain in the new green economy, which will not include air travel, cruises and tourism.🤦♀️ As they tell us, the industry is dead. Why beat a dead horse? 😉
let tourism continue cautiously, why boost it now? wait until next year. This Looks more like a slush fund bribe.
It’s called vote buying, follow the money.
Wtf for? Don't they have their own money? No? Well I guess they better get useful then.
Is there a Canada west of Ontario Liberals don't think so.
Wtf is this? Wow...🤦♂️
How bout we give everyone in Quebec $1M then kick them out. The ROI would be historic year 2. Parasites.
Quebec is the perfect example of today's left. Sit on your ass and do nothing and get paid for it.
Our PM just tweeted how successful Quebec is ...of course with all the money they get who would not be ...fing ridiculous while AB rots ...Shame on you Globe & Mail you are part of this with your liberal bias BS shills
Umm, how about the prairies? It’s not like our tourism industry hasn’t tanked. Oh yeah, it Quebec, that explains it.
Isn’t it about time 9 provinces stopped supporting 1 province?
Maybe they should've diversified their economy
And as usual nothing for western Canada 🙄
Hey melaniejoly ....what about the rest of the country ? Dont your beloved Quebec already get enough through equalization payments ? Unreal !!
And what does the rest of the country get. Why do the have not provinces ALWAYS get looked after. Do they not already get equalization payments ?
More like 46 million dollars to buy votes for the next election, so Liberals can get a majority. The PLAGUES !
All the other provinces have tourism, what’s with the division? JustinTrudeau MichelleRempel
Who are the tourists?
Can people not see through this?!!!! 😡 Screw you Ottawa All our love ❤️, Alberta
What Tourism? Our borders are closed 🙄🙄🙄
Can I get my $300 please.
Can’t wait to see PEI. Anne of Green Gables and Road to Avonlea are Canadian cinematic icons.
Our Atlantic provinces are beautiful the fidhing moratorium under the PCs devastated an entire way of life ... its time to make them shine . Halt foreign ownership !
Well of course they are vote buying in Atlantic and Quebec.
Vote whores
🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
__ gmbutts will you order GGJuliePayette to dissolve Parliment at the end of August or are you going to wait until the middle of September?
U mean welfare to buy votes right?
...hey AIRHEAD...what about the rest of Canada...
Another free hand out to the Atlantic provinces. They don't want to let tourists in but want our money.
JustinTrudeau liberal_party ... Buying us with our own money ...
Ontario stands with Alberta ✌🏾
No more equalization payments every province pays their own
I wonder if the east knows how much we hate them in the west.
Blanchet calls Trudeau a dictator, he gets more of our money. If we call Trudeau a dictator, we get censored and lose our jobs. cndpoli
Nobody wants to go there lol
It’s cheaper to book a flight to Europe than eastern Canada.
They are buying the Bloc!!
Dont give any to NB, can travel through it but cant stop anywhere or an overnight
French Friends!!
Haha...thanks again Alberta...you guys should come visit sometime, see the good you’re money is doing!!!
Sure, promote tourism in N.S. The province where locals key cars with US license plates. Where service staff act like they’re doing you a huge favour.
What? Where is the tourism cominfrom, China?
justintrudeau you forgot 3/4 of the country where is our $46 million😡😡😡😡😡😡
To Quebec? Screw this - this is my damn money. WEXIT now.
Putting that $46M toward reduced domestic airfares would help Cdn airlines and boost Que and Atlantic provincial tourism at the same time
Getting ready for another election! Libs just wanna buy every vote in the east they can
Why give $ to a NONESSENTIAL sector that is DEAD right now & is not COMING BACK ANY TIME SOON? How many ppl will be flying in to VISIT the Maritimes or QC with a second COVID wave in the wings?🥴 Only TrudeauIDIOTS would think this is GOOD IDEA! + GHGs are BAD! 😡Canada
Always nice to see only some Provinces provided funding... especially the Liberal voting ones!!! 🙄
Yes one big WTF. Trudeau is well on his hate the west campaign just like his father
There's nothing to do for tourists here..
Sounds like another Liberal Adscam in the making. TrudeauMustGo
Aka, pre-election advertising
I'm not going east as long as a liberal is a PM or bloc in Quebec.
You mean Quebec can have tourists, but Alberta can't? How does this make any sense?
Thought we were to stay in our own province. This is bullshit
Quebec will run ads in the Gazette encouraging citizens of Hudson to come visit the island.
Sickening Liberal pandering.
Aren’t the borders closed still?
Who’d want to fricken go there Covid-RCMP-Quebec-Trudeau issues that’s Typical Eastern Canada. SEPARATION TIME...Screw CONFEDERATION🤬🤬🤬
That’s racist to the rest of Canada.
Screw the west, we’ll take the rest...
How come it’s always unity crisis when liberals in power? Trudeau 1, Chrétien, Trudeau 2.
Oh for christ sake can we not get rid of those imbecils already. Canada lead by a part time drama teacher, let that sink in.
Quebec ads before Covid stated “Maritime Quebec” What are they up to?
I guess tourism west of Quebec doesn’t matter.
Time for the west to leave. Why stay somewhere you’re not wanted when they make it SO obvious.
VOTE BUYING!!! TrudeauCorruption TrudeauMustGo cdnmedia cdnpoli
The boogle never ceases to amaze.
So with the borders closed you're pumping 46 million into the tourist industry 4 let me guess, all your liberal ridings. I wish you people out there in Eastern Canada would get even so much as a half a brain
Fuck the conservative and NDP provinces
SameShitDifferentLiberal LiberalsGottaLiberal
After it's funneled through Alberta first. What happened to the last few billion they got?
Nothing new here.
Ok.
Alberta is still waiting for the long promised money from an industry that the feds effectively vilified. Alberta is treated exactly like veterans. Once you’ve served your purpose, they don’t care. I hate liberals. TrudeauDictatorship TrudeauworstPMever TrudeauCorruption
Tourism Now?
What the fack
Sounds fair if you hate Western Canada.
What does the west and prairies get?
As Alberta withers away.....
What about the rest of Canada? cdnpoli
Of course they are... must be a Fall election. The one good thing is that maybe the 15 minutes of theJagmeetSingh will be up.
We'll have an answer to this soon
Honesty4Libs FuckQuebec
In the years following the collapse of this govt, we will learn the true financial devastation that is still being inflicted on this country, and it will be bad.
It’s to bad they didn’t diversify their economy. Hypocrite. BS. Failed provinces of losers. While in AB we work hard and get raped. TrudeauBlackface TrudeauworstPMever TrudeauCorruption
Meanwhile, Alberta still waiting for that help that was 'hours, maybe days away' three months ago...
more money laundering W.T.F!!!
TrudeauCorruption
Breaking Next! “Ottawa announces funding for NFLD, PEI, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, BC, Yukon, NWT and Nunavut while the prairies continue to whine and spread division.”
melaniejoly is the only liberal I like so back off man!
$30 m to Quebev
Lol 😂...tourism is dead goofs
Systemic eastism
What? Are the Atlantic Provinces allowing tourists this summer?
Disgusting. JustinTrudeau is the sleaziest politician on the planet. Who is going to pay back all this borrowed money? Wake up Canada. He is destroying this country. TrudeauCorruption trudeaumustgo exitUN cdnpoli
You can’t even cross the bridge to get to PEI. WTF⁉️⁉️⁉️
Replace Tourism with votes and you have a true headline! liberal conservative
Buying votes has started folks...
So we are providing tourism funding to Quebec a province with codified racism in Bill 21. Wonder what they will be using as a catch line?
Add it to the PeopleKind credit card.
They should have diversified.
Let’s feed the québécois peoplekind more money 💰
Investing in tourism when no one can travel. That’s a very liberal idea.
... as if Quebec doesnt get enough subsidies already huh!
Why would there not be a nation wide strategy?
I guess boosting the west doesn’t count....
Please anyone from western provinces do not visit Quebec. The Energy Sector needs help gets nothing to put people to work. The liberals are buying votes again.
Who are the tourists? The border is closed and we are shamed for leaving the house.
shocker. quebec gets more money, equalization hasnt been enough
Let me guess. Quebec gets the most money ! Everyone else scrambling for what they left on the table.
Wait a MINUTE! TOURISM IS A NONESSENTIAL SECTOR & it CREATES EVIL ☠️GHG ♨️& wastes fossil fuels which your govt HAS STATED IS BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT! REMEMBER! eg. cruise🚢, ferries, 🚁rides, ✈️, 🎣 trips , hotels, skiing, kayaking! DIRTY! Canada TrudeauCorruption hypocrisy
Story is this is the interloper that ruined peckerheads marriage.
45 to Quebec, 1 to Atlantic Canada?
Stay at home everyone! Unless protesting racial injustice! Hey Maritimes and Quebec, while telling everyone to stay home, here is $$$ for boosting tourism! Somehow this makes sense? Will it be Protest Tourism?
QC can FO. This is nothing more than campaigning on tx$ during a pandemic. Tell me when QC was ever a net positive contributor for all that 🇨🇦’s given it & gotten sfa in return from them or liberals? The west needs to leave the welfare parasitic east to its corrupt liberal demise
People’s Republic of Quebec gets special treatment in this country.
Can we get some money.... alberta could use some. No reason why Quebec should be in a surplus and alberta in a deficit.
Payola
What kind of idiocy is this? The Canada/US border is shut down and if we travel province to province we have to isolate for 2 weeks at each end. Who is going to travel?
THE ATLANTIC PROVINCES ARE CLOSED!! 2 week quarantine to visit.. I know.. I cannot visit my mother in NB.. where is the tourism money going ..?
This is BS. Right now no money is going to help tourism , there are no travellers !
Alberta, Canada’s economic engine for decades, gets a kick when it’s down ... independence is sounding better every day ..
Just f’n stop. Just stop.
Money for votes!!! The Liberal Platform
Canadian Energy Sector...
Why the actual fuck doesn't Quebec pay for their own shit They HAVE money... 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤬
Yeah, right. I thought we were supposed to be staying close to home. Awaiting the second Covid wave. Avoiding nonessential travel. More mixed messages and bs from this useless government.
TrudeauCorruption TrudeauCorruption TrudeauCorruption TrudeauCorruption TrudeauCorruption TrudeauCorruption TrudeauCorruption TrudeauCorruption TrudeauCorruption TrudeauCorruption TrudeauCorruption TrudeauWorstPMEver TrudeauMustGo
Hey PeterMacKay ErinOTooleMP LeslynLewis whats your thoughts on this? Anyone care to answer?
Asinine waste of money..this crap 💩 gets worse every day..does failure of Confederation actually have a “government “?
I think people will travel within these provinces because they can't go anywhere else why do you always have to spend money quit it already. TrudeauMustGo
Does this Minister know that Canada exists to the west of Ontario and Quebec?
Once Again: Vote Buying Financed by: TrudeauCorruption TrudeauCorruption TrudeauCorruption TrudeauMustGo
Just plain wrong. I guess liberal_party gearing up for an election. Let’s get to it PeterMacKay we have to stop the bleeding for our grandchildren sake. All the gains by stephenharper r gone and now they’re spending generational money
Holy cow all the gov has to do is remove the travel restrictions and ppl will spend money again.
jkenney you expect us to be happy Canadians when all we see is money going every where but Alberta? You owe us an apology
Clearly the west needs to look out for itself..basically treated like a red headed stepchild at this point.
Canadabuster And we're are they getting this gift donations 🤔🤔 ahhh yes I get it now buying votes .... it is not going to work we the people don't have the money for this generosity and they won't be able to go to there sugar daddy for long China will get tired of sock boy
Boost tourism during a pandemic? Well I guess that’s important
'Tourism' 🤪
Wow...the non stop shovel of money to eastern provinces...where's the help for the rest of CA?
For tourism ?! When no one is actually touring ?! Right 🤨
Trudeau's not even trying to hide how biased he is for certain provinces. What about Ontario, Alberta, BC, etc!?!? They all could use financial assistance to help get tourism back up and running!
Vote buying precedes an election call.
Seriously? OUR BORDER IS CLOSED! Anything to spend taxpayers borrowed money tho 🙄🤬
Let me guess, 40 for Quebec, 2 for NS, 1 for NB, 1 for PEI 2 for N&L.
Canadabuster That will go a long way to boosting tourism when out of province CANADIANS are banned!! LiberalWaste
Nothing more than a bribe for votes. Thank you for your continued support of the liberal party, here are truckloads of cash for you.
WTF? There are more than provinces that need just as much help. Why are we constantly giving to Quebec.
Keep out!
Nice
Canadabuster WTF! Joly is a joke of a Minister.
Quebec already gets billions now she hands them more, LiberalsMustGo justinmustgo cbcmustgo TrudeauMustGo Blackfacetrudeau
Tourism? Provinces are advising against (and disallowing) tourism. Covid-19..... This makes no sense.
Obviously, $13.3B wasn’t enough. TrudeauNotFitForOffice
Call it whatever you want, its simply buying liberal votes with taxpayers money. TrudeauCorruption
Wouldn't this be more relevant when people start travelling again?
Borders are closed! Huh?!
Buying votes!
Quebec doesn’t need more of our income tax revenues they get the lion’s share already. The rest of Canada should separate from them.
This is the primary reason this country needs a fiscal update ... one of these days those 46 million cheques will start to add up
JustinTrudeau - at lot of the borders are closed from province to province and Canadian/US - more wasted money that could be used to cover the debt you have made for us - and all provinces have tourism -
What the fuck is the point of boosting tourism when people can't come?
What I need is open borders. Can/US border Provincial borders. International airports functioning. All my cancelations are from people desperate to get out of the cities they live in. They want to come. They can't. US EU Canadian cities.
Again money to Quebec. What about Alberta’s devastated economy ? Some things never change with our Quebec centrist policies.
We get a lot of tourism dollars in NB from the states. Business owners need the border to open so they can stay open. Not all of us have a stay at home government job.
Legalized corruption - THAT IS AWESOME !
Liberals buy votes.
It’s all about the welfare province of Quebec
Are you kidding me? NO! Quebec gets enough of our taxpayer dollars. Time to drain the Laurentian swamp
4.3M people in Alberta. 740K in New Brunswick.... 🤦♀️
Seems like money well spent, I mean people are going to be travelling all over the next few months...
The F*cking border is closed.
You mean to buy votes! cdnpoli
there is a western part of Canada as well....
What Tourism? New Brunswick won't even let people from other provinces in?
So why bother with a democratic election? Why don't we use the same mehod as the Liberals to get elected just pay everybody to vote for you. Can't understand why so many people don't care about the country and just how much free money they can get.
So the US border is closed and travel out of provinces is discouraged. Liberals...hey let's spend $46M to increase tourism. What a bunch of clueless imbeciles the Liberals are.
Quebec wins again! Wow, they're on a roll!
Yemen and Somalia got $ 91 million on Monday to kill babies . Canadians got $ 46 million on Tuesday to try and save jobs. Liberal logic . A dead baby is worth twice as much as a Canadian job .
Doesn’t every province and territory have tourism? Or is it because he campaigning on the taxpayer’s backs again and only sees votes east of Ontario?
Some slight of hand here. The headline should be 'Ottawa gives Quebec an extra $30 million for tourism.' Atlantic Canada is getting the 16 million already budgeted.
Aren't the borders closed in the Atlantic Provinces.
Pardon the hell out of me 🙄. How was this decision made and where is the money supposedly coming from? The borders are closed and not many people can afford to travel right now. This is pathetic
Unreal. Wasted taxpayers money
paid for by Alberta
GayleneSass Wtf
What about BC?
GayleneSass Damn, maybe he is going to drop the writ early after all. There can be no other logical explanation for this insanity.
GayleneSass Of course Quebec. Let all the tourists get infected with WuhanFlu
Everything is closed......
What about Alberta? Boosting their tourism?
ummmm windsor, ontario is still in phase 1 of lockdown, but let’s give TOURISM money during a pandemic. this is out of control.
Why? They voted for a Black face racist. I ain't visiting them anymore.
This has zero to do with tourism and 100% with vote buying using the rest of Canada's money.
So the Atlantic Provinces shut their borders....and stick their hands out?
Wtf
Because tourism is booming in the rest of Canada. Vote buying would be easier to watch if I didn’t have to pay for it.
Boosting tourism during a pandemic where most can't even leave the house yet. Brilliant.
