EDMONTON, Alberta (LifeSiteNews) — The Alberta government green-lighted a Christian concert featuring Sean Feucht, an American pro-life singer with links to the MAGA movement.
In an August 11 post on X, Feucht announced that Alberta will allow him to perform on the Legislative Assembly of Alberta’s grounds in Edmonton after his Christian concerts have been cancelled throughout Canada.
“BREAKING NEWS: After more paperwork, discussions, insurance & LOTS OF WORK, #LetUsWorship on the Alberta Legislature grounds in Edmonton is CONFIRMED!” he celebrated.
While Feucht’s ministry has been censored in other provinces, Alberta, known as a more Conservative and freedom-loving province, approved the event.
Therefore, on August 22, Feucht will gather Canadians to participate at his Revive in ’25 – Let Us Worship” on the Alberta Legislature grounds.
Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) lawyer Marty Moore stressed to LifeSiteNews the importance “for governments in Canada to respect the constitution that dictates that freedom of expression is a right in Canada, regardless of whether governments agree with the type of music performed at a concert, or even more minutely agree with the opinions of a performer expressed in a different venue, the government should not be imposing its views on the musical performances that Canadians are entitled to attend in public space.”
In recent weeks, several of Feucht’s concerts across Canada have been shut down due to so-called “safety concerns,” including six in eastern Canada. Many provinces, including British Columbia, refused his permits after months of working with his team to meet its regulations.
Moore explained that governments in eastern Canada, including those in Ontario and Quebec, “don’t respect the Canadian constitution and the obligations it imposes on them.”
“They apparently don’t like the protections for freedom of expression, whereas in Alberta, thankfully, the government, by its actions, has shown that it is respecting that constitutional right and freedom, even in the face of opposition,” he continued.
“Our legal team is continuing to work with the event organisers, and we need to see these government entities held accountable for their violation of Canadians’ constitution freedoms,” he concluded.
After the cancellation of concerts, Feucht’s situation went viral on social media, with many pointing to it as modern-day Christian persecution.
MP Michael Barrett stated, “You don’t have to agree with Sean Feucht to be concerned. When the CBC and government censor worship or suppress dissenting beliefs, they violate the freedoms of religion and expression guaranteed in Section 2 of the Charter. That’s deeply illiberal.”
Similarly, MP Bob Zimmer posted a video of Feucht being interrogated by CBC journalists on whether he had a permit to play his songs in a church, along with a quote from the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
