There should be absolutely NO political discussions on Foxsy at all.

I understand where you are coming from, but if you open up the door to that, then, with the political climate down there that would be all that was talked about. Many people cannot art when they are feeling those intense emotions and I believe that the art community should be one place we can all come where the politics isn’t.

We are not in the thick of things up here in Canada. But it very much affects us – especially in Alberta – so, we too live in fear.

Anyway, I do not want to go into specifics at all. I would suggest that if you or anyone else in Foxsy want to vent they should do so by private email. One of my artistic friends that lives in the states emails me every now and then about the situation. Mostly though we try to keep our emails light – I talk about it until she doesn’t want to. I do not know anyone in the art world who allows political discussions onto their art platforms.

Does everyone really want to know, to run the chance that there might be those amongst us who are “for” trump – who are “for” Danielle Smith? Not me that’s for sure.

No I vote we keep our community safe.
