Nice place you got there

OTTAWA -- Ottawa's secret National Unity Reserve was used to fund everything from the Canadian Irish Studies Foundation to the ill-fated federal sponsorship program and ate up far more than the government's $40 million yearly estimate, documents show.

The long-awaited list of projects, released Thursday, shows an average of $65 million annually was pumped into a host of disparate projects at the discretion of the prime minister.

The reserve, whose existence was not revealed in any previous federal budget...

"It includes $1 million in 1999-2000 to Paul Martin's Finance department for communications and $2.1 million to Health Canada in 2000-01 for advertising in Ontario. There was $500,000 to the Canadian Irish Studies Foundation in 2000 and more than $1.3 million to the Canadians in Europe Association in each of the last two years."
