If you've followed the French Presidential election campaign at all you'll know that one of the most exciting or terrifying developments, depending on your point of view, is the emergence of the Left Front.
The Left Front is an amalgam of left-wing groups loosely organized around the Communist Party. Its leader Jean-Luc Melenchon has promised a 100% tax on incomes over 300 thousand euros. He's also promised to turn France away from the German-dictated austerity agenda that is crippling Europe. He's the most exciting voice in the Presidential race.
So how is it possible for The Globe and Mail to publish a half page feature about the French Presidential election today without once mentioning either Melenchon or the Left Front?
