The government has announced 32 grants for seniors' groups since Feb. 17, and only one went to an organization located in a riding not held by a Conservative MP.This isn't a new phenomenon, of course. The moral? Don't get old in an opposition-held riding. At least, not if you want to enjoy "inter generational movie nights", native beadwork, dancing, and storytelling, or scrapbook, all with government assistance.

BTW, speaking of tracking government spending and action -- or, dare we say, in action -- on maters economic, this is a neato new Web site that aims to do just that.

Chretien did the same thing with our Canadian forces base in Calgary...closed it up because Calgary did not elect any Libs, yet with Anne McLellan re-elected in Edmonton, that city got to keep theirs.
Of course, it was deny, deny, deny.
