EDMONTON, Alberta (LifeSiteNews) â 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 Albertaâs grounds in Edmonton after his Christian concerts have been cancelled throughout Canada.
âBREAKING NEWS: After more paperwork, discussions, insurance & LOTS OF WORK, #LetUsWorship on the Alberta Legislature grounds in Edmonton is CONFIRMED!â he celebrated.
While Feuchtâs 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 â25 â Let Us Worshipâ on the Alberta Legislature grounds.
Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) lawyer Marty Moore stressed to LifeSiteNews the importance âfor 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.â
In recent weeks, several of Feuchtâs concerts across Canada have been shut down due to so-called âsafety concerns,â 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, âdonât respect the Canadian constitution and the obligations it imposes on them.â
âThey apparently donât 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,â he continued.
âOur legal team is continuing to work with the event organisers, and we need to see these government entities held accountable for their violation of Canadiansâ constitution freedoms,â he concluded.
After the cancellation of concerts, Feuchtâs situation went viral on social media, with many pointing to it as modern-day Christian persecution.
MP Michael Barrett stated, âYou donât 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. Thatâs deeply illiberal.â
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.
