Sean Feucht, a far-right Christian musician who closely helps the Republican celebration and Donald Trump, is having a tough time reserving reveals in Canada. This week, venues in six Canadian cities canceled Feucht’s performances, citing neighborhood opposition and public security considerations.
The Canadian run was supposed to be the primary leg of Feucht’s “Let Us Worship: Revive” tour, however cities together with Halifax, Vaughn, Charlottetown, Moncton, and Quebec Metropolis have all canceled the upcoming reveals attributable to Feucht’s Christian Nationalist ideology and his ties to the MAGA motion. As an alternative, Feucht has opted to host the Canadian reveals in close by fields, church buildings, and different makeshift venues; he’s discovered alternative venues to this point in all six Canadian cities.
Concerning the cancelation of Feucht’s Quebec Metropolis present, official Jackie Smith from the Transition Quebec celebration advised the CBC in an announcement that, “Town shouldn’t make its areas out there to propaganda teams that insult our communities and search to divide us on the premise of our identities… We don’t need this hatred in our neighborhoods.” Town of Vaughn in Ontario provided an analogous assertion, canceling Feucht’s present “on the premise of well being and security in addition to neighborhood requirements and well-being.”

Predictably, Feucht is blaming the “woke left” for the opposition and feels his free speech is being violated. “Right here’s the laborious fact: If I had proven up with purple hair and a costume, claiming to be a lady, the federal government wouldn’t have stated a phrase,” he wrote on X. “However to publicly profess deeply held Christian beliefs is to be labeled an extremist — and to have a free worship occasion categorized as a public security threat.”
Feucht, who unsuccessfully ran for a congressional seat in California in 2020, has attracted controversy for his views. He referred to abortion because the “satan’s sacrifice,” likened the dialogue of sexual id in colleges to sexual indoctrination and grooming, described drag queens as “demonic, sick and twisted,” and, most notably, held massive worship service-meets-protest gatherings in the course of the top of lockdown in 2020, when COVID restrictions had prohibited large-scale gatherings.
Feucht feels that the cancellations are part of the “satan’s identical playbook” that noticed worship providers restricted in the course of the pandemic, and that it’s actually simply prejudice towards these of the Christian religion. “The pandemic could also be over, however the anti-Christian bias stays.”
