The Presidential Election
There is a week to go until the run-off for French president, and there were canvassers out in the market yesterday morning. The campaign has been characterized as giving the electorate a choice between voting for mummy or daddy: Royal seems to say "Don't worry dear, we'll take care of you" and Sarkozy says "Everybody get in the car, it's time we got moving." (The Globe & Mail contributed to this imagery by calling the fight for the support of Bayrou, the third candidate who didn't make it to the run-off, a heated custody battle.) Maybe it was just a coincidence, but I didn't need to see the pamphlets to know who was campaigning for whom.
A scowly UMP campaigner. I did ask for permission to take his picture. You can sure imagine him telling people to get out of the country (as Sarkozy suggested)
The Socialists were all smiles
