U.S. Christian musician and pastor Sean Feucht has faced multiple cancellations of his worship events during his East Coast Canadian tour, prompting protests outside a Montreal church where he held a performance. Independent journalist Andre Petre criticized a CBC/Radio Canada journalist for questioning Feucht about having a permit to pray inside the church in Montreal. The issue has sparked debate over the necessity of permits for religious gatherings in Canada, with some pointing out that no permits have historically been required for church performances, including those by local and foreign choirs. Despite cancellations, Feucht is scheduled to perform at the Alberta legislature grounds in August. His cancellations have drawn criticism from Indigenous communities and commentators who note the irony of Feucht rising to prominence due to cancellations in Canada only to cancel on a Christian community that had offered support. The situation has also led to accusations from free speech advocates and religious groups that Feucht's rights have been violated in Canada, with some calling for accountability from Canadian authorities.
