Hey chicas and...chicos??

Hey Muted readers,
Just to let you know Mutedmag.com's is becoming a bimonthly updated webzine! Don't fret though. I'll try to make as many updates as I can to my blog and gallery updates as much as I can.
On a sad note, my mom’s friend, Remi, died this week. I believe she died of aneurism but I’m not sure. She was such a strong lady and her family has always been so helpful to us. My prayers go out to her and her family.
Anyways the Canadian elections are coming up very soon. So take your eyes off the American debates for 5 minutes and try to figure out who you’re supporting in this year’s election!
I think that there’s too much focus on the American elections right now and not enough on our own elections. Maybe Prime Minister Steven Harper should make some sly remark about Stephane Dion being a pig with lipstick (that’ll get the media’s attention for sure).
Or maybe there’s just a lot of hype and scandal involved with the American election and Canada is taking the cleaner route (although the puffin “defecating” on Stephane Dion’s head sure gave me some chuckles http://www.cbc.ca/news/canadavotes/story/2008/09/09/leaders-preview.html). Or is it that Canada is really just “America’s hat” as I saw on a piece of flair for the Facebook application.
Whatever the reason is we need to get more people out there to vote. I don’t care who you vote for but we all need to get out there and vote because we really don’t need another minority government!

Love,

Fran:)
