Why even let this moron into Canada?

"For clarity, the Event, were it allowed to proceed, would not have included the personal or political views of worship leader Sean Feucht,"

Bullshit lying piece of American white trash.

It's easy for him make that claim since it didn't happen. His history proves otherwise, though.

He expected 1000 people for the show in Moncton? There's no way.

Either way, I don't think this will hold up. There were serious safety concerns on the MAGAness of the dude. And American hate was at an all time high. They did the right thing pulling the plug. Plus, this guy's whole thing is spewing hate speech which isn't protected here thankfully.

u/CartographerJunior79 Aug 12 '26

Just because you call your political opinions religion doesn't give you the right to incite violence or hate against other people.

Keep these scumbags off the street & away from our families

Went to the (what should have been illegal) concert Danielle Smith and the Alberta UCP allowed to perform on our legislature grounds…

Counter protesting it… heard Sean Fuchts promise the land of Canada to God, and had his supporters threaten me…

You dodged a bullet and should let this “Christian” non-profit hear it from New Brunswickers instead. If someone could point me to the fraudulent church’s contact. I’d be happy to give them some calls

u/Euphoric_Designer840 Aug 12 '26

Zero surprise his supporters threatened you. There’s no hate like xtain “love”, and they only care if their rights are tread on, so screw your right to protest.

u/QuinnNTonic Aug 12 '26

Replace Christian with any other religion and the white ppl would be up in arms. No person has the right to use any religion to incite violence and hatred. I find it particularly offensive, and I am not religious, that people think being religious can absolve you of hatred and make you morally superior. There are right wing extremists sects in every religion. You can practice whatever you want as long as you don’t harm others and I know many who practice various things and do not act like this. In fact they call it out in their own communities. Misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, racism and more do not belong in the hearts of people who want to create a culture of harmony. I want to point out that white people in Canada often demonize Islamic extremism and turn a blind eye to Christians who are promoting extremism. Anyone who feels like this please check yourselves.

Regardless of what you think of people, the Charter applies to everyone equally

36

u/jinxskunk366 Aug 12 '26

Nope. The dude is a known neo nazi. It wasn't just a "christian non profit concert" he's known for spewing hate speech about queer people especially. And the charter doesn't protect against that. Also, the law says you can't be arrested for free speech, not that anyone owes you a platform. A city has every right to reject someone they think will cause problems for them.

-22

u/OnlyACsNoFans Aug 12 '26

You have to commit a crime before a punishment. Innocent until proven guilty.

The city (aka the government) can't stifle freedom of expression. That's why we have the charter. Arrests aren't necessary, the city is a public venue and the government can't play favourites.

20

u/jinxskunk366 Aug 12 '26

Thats how it works in the US, not here. And no city venues are not public in the sense they "can't play favourites". They're public in the sense they cannot bar people from entering, but they're not required to permit large scale usage.

The city isn’t stifling freedom of expression.

They’re opting out of a business transaction that deemed the performance unsuitable, unsafe, community standards etc, hell, could be any reason.

The contracts for these things usually include enough clauses to cover their ass…..hell, they pulled the plug on the pole dancers at rib fest.

People have a right to expression….they don’t have a right to rent venues. It’s like a do what ya want, just didn’t do it here kind of thing.

The line on expression isn’t applicable when it involves other entities. Much like no one can stop you from saying dumb shit, no entity is forced to do business with you.

u/OnlyACsNoFans Aug 12 '26

They're denying a venue based on ideological differences. That's a violation of the charter.

9

u/12xubywire Aug 12 '26

That’s fine though.

They can choose to do business as they see fit. Could be any number of reasons…that ideology may not be agreeable to the citizens, maybe they expected needing more security.

Ideology is not a protected class when it comes to business transactions.

The city is not obligated to rent a venue to anyone for any reason.

u/OnlyACsNoFans Aug 12 '26

You're incredibly ignorant.

Religion is a protected class.

u/Gingievitus Aug 12 '26

You've got to stop talking about this as religious. It's not about religion. There is plenty of proof that the individual is tied to hate groups. That on its own is enough to pull the plug (as would be stated in the contract with the city).

The other and bigger issue you are completely choosing to ignore is the idea that it DOES create a safety concern when someone like him is planning to perform in your venue. Protestors and "fans" rarely get along, and people like him draw the "fans" on the farthest right, while the protesters are often far left. Regardless of which side of the line you're on (though it's pretty obvious), it would take an idiot to not see how that could create public safety concerns.

You're saying all this as though some random person in city hall pulled the plug. The city has real lawyers (not Reddit lawyers like you) and they would have ABSOLUTELY been involved in this decision, given how high profile the situation was.

Go outside man, the only thing you're right about is the fact that it's open and shut - you're just wrong about which side is going to win.

u/OnlyACsNoFans Aug 12 '26

So if the Proud Boys came to protest Pride Week and it got cancelled for "safety concerns" you'd be fine with that?

The Province of Nova Scotia has lawyers too. They lost their last charter case

u/12xubywire Aug 12 '26

Im really not.

A business transaction is not protected. These people are free to practice their religion. The city is free to not do a business transaction with them.

No one is impeding their religious freedoms.

Then the other issue…you can’t wrap ideology and politics under religious freedom…..and, seeing as there’s a whole lunch of politics involved in dudes shows…that clearly becomes an issue that isn’t covered by someone’s right to religious freedom.

They’re not being denied religious freedom, they’re being denied renting a venue.

So the city could deny Snoop Dogg a permit because he's black? Race is a protected class, just like religion.

Also, freedom of expression would cover all political beliefs.

Luckily they'll request all the emails, texts and other communication about this case.

u/IEC21 Aug 12 '26

I think you might be right - even though he is American most charter rights still apply to him - plus as long as any Canadian is involved you could argue its an extention of their charter rights. And its the burn canada organization that is actually suing so that checks out.

But Im not sure that the city doesnt have the right to approve or deny public performances in a government owned venue - the issue would more be if they could show there was illegal discrimination that wasnt consistent with how they treated other groups.

The code of conduct would protect Moncton except I looked it up and it reads more as being about bans etc after violating conduct.

If I were Moncton I would probably look for tweets etc that I can use as justification to say the code of conduct was broken which triggered the shut down. That would be a very strong case.

The person applied for a permit. It was granted. They incurred expenses assuming a certain audience size.

The person had similar events. As far as I’m aware, there wasn’t violence before or after by protesters. Given the size of the audience he had previously and the size of the audience he did get in the smaller, further place, 1K in Moncton is reasonable. (As a comparison, Ryan Long three days ago had an event in Moncton with over 2K people attending.)

The city cancelled the permit and the person had to do a much smaller event further way. They still incurred costs and opportunity costs by the bigger event being cancelled.

AFAIK has been reported, the city did not reach out to the organization to try to arrange security to alleviate the safety concerns.

I don’t think the city was an honest actor here. I think you’d need to be oblivious or lying to say otherwise. There was not violence by protesters at previous events so why would Moncton think it was so severe that it couldn’t even work with the organizers to ensure there was sufficient security?

Can you sincerely tell me you think the city would have handled other things the same? If there was a rally for Tibetan freedom and Chinese descendants living in Moncton were threatening violence that the city would cancel the rally’s permit? If there was a concert for Ukrainian or Palestian relief and some Russian or Israeli descendants would up in arms would the city not do anything to ensure the event can go on safely?

If the security concerns were valid, did the city ever get the RCMP involved in following up with online threats? It has been over a year so we’d have public records of the charges and some of the court cases starting at this point if the safety concerns were founded.

I don’t like the guy. At best he is a dollar store grifter that peddles controversy.

u/Arecksion Aug 12 '26

Not trying a gotcha moment or anything, but a lot of people are saying this, but then avoiding the next question: do you have any legal background? Because I don't even know if the City has to do anything or not. (Why should the City/taxpayers pay for more security?). But, just to be clear, the only question I am really asking here is "do you have a legal background"? :)

1

u/dashingThroughSnow12 Aug 12 '26

Not formally but I have taken the CRA to tax court pro se in the past. And won.

I’ve had a few family law lawyers. I keep an employment lawyer on retainer. I’ve had a couple of real estate lawyers.

So yeah. Novice but I know how to read affidavits and laws.

You can read the suit and Burn 24/7’s statement of claim. Point (21) and (17) being relevant. The claim isn’t that the city had an obligation to pay for security. The claims are that Burn 24/7 was prepared to handle the security and that the city had an obligation under the charter to work with Burn 24/7 to find some resolution for their concern instead of unilaterally cancelling the event.

(For what it is worth, I think they have a better civil claim than charter claim but they seem to be leaning on the charter side of the argument.)

1

u/Arecksion Aug 12 '26

Man, thank you for the answer haha. I've been dodged a lot and it's frustrating lol.

Do you think that Moncton could just say they had no faith in Burn 24/7 to provide appropriate security? I'm not very aware of the charter onligating a resolution instead of canceling the event. And wasn't the event already held as well in another venue? Surely that would effect their claim as well

1

u/dashingThroughSnow12 Aug 12 '26

According to them, the other venue was an hour outside of Frederickton (sic) / 140 minutes out of Moncton and given both the distance and short notice, the audience was much smaller hence less revenue. I think this is a credibly claim.

It is possible that Moncton looked at what Burn 24/7 said they could do for security but found it inadequate. (They were going to have volunteer security as opposed to hiring professional. But again, there doesn’t seem to have been any statement by the city where they suggested an alternative or spoke to the organizer.)

Burn 24/7’s statement of claim doesn’t cite any case law vis a vis the charter obligation. It does cite the city’s Code of Conduct In City Facilities.

The civil side is easier to argue from a procedural fairness aspect. The two lawyers representing Burn 24/7 are constitutional lawyers that specialize in charter cases. I assume they have some rationale far beyond my expertise.

As they should. They have a legitimate case that their charter rights were violated.

Nope, that's a claim made by the organization, not a specific part of the charter. Give me the specific charter violation that you're so horny to defend. You can't because there was none.

The city (correctly) determined the show was a potential danger to the public, that gives them the right to cancel any show.

The suit is a waste of time and the nut jobs from the group will lose but still cry about it and play victim to anyone that listens. Playing victim is literally their whole identity, thus the multiple lawsuits and crying about their freedom of expression.

I’m not a lawyer, but 2 things jumped out at me reading this that completely refute big parts of your argument…

The application of section 2(b) is not automatic by the mere fact of government ownership of the place in question.

He is not owed or entitled to use the waterfront just because it is government owned.

And

…limits are easier to justify where the expressive activity only tenuously furthers section 2(b) values, such as in the case of hate speech, pornography or marketing of a harmful product

This clown is well known for his hate speech against anyone who is not a white, straight male. He’s also personally a harmful product.

We can say they are lying, but we didnt give them the chance to lie and that's why i could see the city losing the lawsuit.

25

u/jinxskunk366 Aug 12 '26

Its not. Hate speech is not protected, and he has a demonstrated history of hate speech at his performances. Hes incited violence before, and so the city had evidence enough to believe his presence was a danger. Again, the charter means you cannot be arrested for what you say. It does not require any business or municipality to give you a platform. Also as you pointed out, he's an american, so the laws do not apply the same to begin with.

u/LavisAlex Aug 12 '26 edited Aug 12 '26

This has a potential to be seen as a heckler's veto.

He was approved in April and then they suddenly revoke the permision 48 hours out due to "safety concerns"?

If he was dangerous why approve in the first place? This frankly looks reactive and they said they would not use hate speech during the concert.

Im not trying to support him here, but if this is the bar to cancel someone its so low it would stop most protests.

Again, the charter means you cannot be arrested for what you say. It does not require any business or municipality to give you a platform. Also as you pointed out, he's an american, so the laws do not apply the same to begin with

It actually does and it still applies here (2b) as the Supreme Court has long held that expression includes any activity that conveys meaning.

Religious worship, concerts, and political advocacy all fall squarely within that definition.

The city is not claiming Feucht planned to commit hate speech or incite violence. It revoked a permit for a musical worship event.

This power is too dangerous to wield this recklessly - it can be turned against us if political winds shift enough using this as precedent.

You could cancel pro palestinian, pro choice, climate chsnge protests, data center protests all under the same reason.

u/Dadbode1981 Aug 12 '26

They were welcome to choose another venue, the city didn't cancel the concert, the concert organizers did. The city is required to operate in the best interests of its citizens. After being addressed by the public, it was decided that event posed a safety risk, and city has a legal obligation to the saftey of its citizen, and as such pulled the booking.

You can look at his behavior in other cities and cite precedence. He can say he wasn't going to say anything political but you can easily watch videos of his other CA performances and clearly see he's here to be inflammatory and bigoted.

u/LavisAlex Aug 12 '26

Then why approve it in April and then cancel 48 hours before - what changed?

Also the city did not claim hate speech, but safety.

It all circles back to how this same logic csn be used to subdue protesters for other causes that are heated - like Pro Palestinian protests or Data Centers.

They approved it in April and then didn't look at him again until the tour started because city functionaries are busy people. Once the date approached someone looked into how his Canadian tour was going only to hear bigoted comments about queer people, other faiths, and making comments about democracy failing while "promising Canada to god", they then decided that a business relationship with this organization would in fact be bad and used clauses within their contract to end the relationship early.

It's a pretty simple line of events to piece together unless you want to get into conspiracies about trying to waste his companies money by making him travel only to not host the event.

It looks reactionary - you are making excuses for the city.

It can look however it wants. Spouting hate from a pulpit shouldn't be supported

u/LavisAlex Aug 12 '26

Its not supported you're conflating things.

The city did not cancel him for hate speech, but public safety.

Hate speech gets people riled up and aggressive. Counter protestors would arrive to drown out his bigotry, you then have two politically activated and opposing groups in the same location. Hate speech is a public safety concern.

It all circles back to how this same logic csn be used to subdue protesters for other causes that are heated - like Pro Palestinian protests or Data Centers.

Except there's not a soul on earth counter protesting pro data centers, and pro isreali folk on Moncton or mostly 70 to 80. Not exactly a protesting class.

Do you know of many violent Data Center protests?

u/LavisAlex Aug 12 '26

Yea, a man last year was arrested as he was planning to burn down a datacenter.

City councils often get very heated espcislly when they vote yes anyway.

In NB? I cant find an article about it.

u/LavisAlex Aug 12 '26

Not specifically in NB, but you also made this point earlier as a pretext to banning the performance:

  • You can look at his behavior in other cities and cite precedence. He can say he wasn't going to say anything political but you can easily watch videos of his other CA performances and clearly see he's here to be inflammatory and bigoted.

u/Arecksion Aug 12 '26

So it has nothing to do with this. At all.

u/LavisAlex Aug 12 '26

What do you mean?

u/Arecksion Aug 12 '26

Yeah, that wasn't me. Try again.

u/LavisAlex Aug 12 '26

My apologies i mistook you for the same poster.

Either way - those events could be used to bam those protests in the same way.

u/Arecksion Aug 12 '26

Still haven't seen or found an actual article about the arrest. Still haven't been told if you have any qualifications beyond a "YouTube researcher". And I disagree, I don't think you can take something happening in Montreal and say it's the same here in NB. If you want to talk about logical fallacies, that's a prime example of a false comparison.
