That's a fair point. The announcements are relatively new, so I don't infer anything negative from the fact that disbursements haven't happened yet.

The two announcements I'm thinking of are Ontario's ($10M over 3 years) and Alberta's $8M (available in $150K grants, application process for the next 6 months). The fact that there are dollar amounts, timelines, and they're offered by a political party holding a majority in the legislature makes me think it's likely to actually happen.

I'm hopeful as well. There's a history of politicians being politicians though.
