The French and Greeks are having elections today! I haven't been following to intently, but would love to hear what members here feel the effect of these elections could have on Canada.
It is my understanding the french new guy "Francois Hollande" would bring back the nation to more of a social welfare states, while Sarkozy is more for cutting social programs. To my understanding, Sarkozy "cutting" of programs would still seems very far left economically by Canadian standards
If anyone has any comments, please post, as I have not followed this election carefully.

Also,
The Greeks are having an election, and if you listen to CNN doom and gloom, if it goes the wrong way, the Greeks may cause some hits to the current EU economic status quo... if it can be called that.
