(LifeSiteNews) – An American pro-life Christian singer with links to supporting the MAGA movement was forced to find alternative venues for six of his prescheduled concerts in eastern Canada after local authorities canceled them at the original sites because of what he called “religious persecution.”
Singer Sean Feucht, who is also a missionary and author, had his planned concert in Halifax canceled by Parks Canada due to “evolving safety and security considerations.”
It came after all six of Feucht’s previously scheduled concerts across eastern Canada were canceled over concerns about public safety, security, and community standards.
“After careful review, and due to heightened public safety concerns, Parks Canada has notified the organizer that the permit has been revoked,” the agency said in a statement Wednesday.
On X, Feucht questioned the cancellation, writing, “You mean the same place where a pride parade was last week they don’t want Christians praying this week?”
“Now that doesn’t sound very tolerant Canada. 🤔”
It was reported that some local residents, upset with Feucht’s ties to U.S. President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, had been planning to protest his concert.
On X late Thursday, Feucht noted that all “6 venues have now been replaced and these cities will hear from lawyers soon.”
“We’ve now got the most stunning venues lined up from Montreal to Ottawa to Toronto this weekend! The plan of the enemy has backfired BIG TIME up here!!,” he wrote.
“It’s provoking the Church of Canada to take a stand! Stay tuned for all the announcements!”
In a statement posted on X yesterday, Feucht blasted Canadian authorities’ alleged “religious persecution” against him, claiming he was targeted for simply being Christian.
“Here’s the hard truth: If I had shown up with purple hair and a dress, claiming to be a woman, the government wouldn’t have said a word. But to publicly profess deeply held Christian beliefs is to be labeled an extremist — and to have a free worship event classified as a public safety risk,” he wrote.
“The Let Us Worship movement was born as an organic response to authoritarian COVID-19 lockdown policies — policies that, in Canada, were among the most oppressive in the world. The pandemic may be over, but the anti-Christian bias remains.”
Feucht added that, “We will not cower in the face of religious persecution — whether in America, Canada, or anywhere else. We will find places to pray. We will find places to praise. And despite the very real risk of arrest, we will stand with our Canadian brothers and sisters to boldly declare: Let Us Worship.”
In 2020, Feucht ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Congress as a Republican, and in the past has spoken out against abortion and has been critical of the LGBT agenda and race theory.
Feucht, who has played in Canada in years, is planning on continuing his tour in other locations in Canada over the next few weeks.
