Hi, I doing research on Canada’s comic book industry. I need to know if governments of Canada (local, province and federal) provide with any funding to individual comic book artist or industry in general. I would also like to know if there is any international comic book or manga competition held in Canada. Can any one tell me where I can find these information? Thank you.
