$100k? That doesn’t even sound like lunch money.

It’s a marketing stunt. The article specifies that half of it will go to a campaign meant to bring foreign investment etc to Montreal (so not specifically related to universities), and the other half will go to five research grants.
I’m not sure anyone is going to move to Montreal for a $10k grant.

I imagine it’s also a nudge to other levels of government. Getting a headline on the issue might be worth the money all by itself.
