So some people may lose their jobs, houses, businesses and so on, but there are more things to life than basic necessities and livelihoods.

What about cottages and crappy movies no one watches?:

The prime minister's second home Harrington Lake where he spends summers with his family is undergoing $8.6 million in taxpayer-funded renovations, according to the CBC

Justin Trudeau also spent Easter in Harrington Lake, choosing to break his own advice and provincial decrees in order to join his family at the mansion. The lakeside-mansion is the official second residence of the prime minister.

Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault unveiled early plans on Friday to give $500 million to Canada’s arts, sports and cultural sectors as they weather the COVID-19 pandemic — but exactly who will benefit remains to be determined.


And:

Trudeau announced that the government will put $1.7 billion towards cleaning up orphan and inactive wells in Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan. The wells, Trudeau says, can be detrimental to the health and productivity of Canadians, as the wells are no longer in use.

"Our goal is to create immediate jobs in these provinces," said Trudeau. "These investments will maintain 5,200 jobs" in Alberta alone.

Trudeau announced an additional $750 million towards an emission reduction fund, focused on methane, to create and maintain jobs through pollution reduction efforts.
