Sean Feucht is an American musician and pastor who has been refused permits to perform in a number of Canadian cities because his performance “goes against the values of inclusion, solidarity and respect.”
He opposes abortion, is less than enthusiastic about 2SLGBTQ+ demands and he is not reluctant to prance around in the political minefield of MAGA. He supports Donald Trump, the embodiment of everything that is shallow, vulgar, crass, and egomaniacal in the American psyche, which is, in my view, a failure in discernment, taste or both.
Feucht has been accused of ethical and financial misconduct by other faith leaders, although, until proved otherwise, the accusations might well be bogus.
It’s easy to have sympathy for Sean Feucht and what he claims to stand for and I am quite sure that he should be allowed a platform in Canada. If he really is as off the wall as his detractors would have us believe, then I’m confident we have the resilience to withstand his onslaught on our religion of diversity and inclusion.
Nevertheless, I question the wisdom of tying politics and Christianity together so tightly, whether it be from the left or the right. I suspect that many Christians who do so would be unable to resist Satan’s third temptation to Jesus in the wilderness.
To end on a lighter note, here is a video of a daft policewoman telling us that those of us who “lean towards traditional values” are on the road to the perdition of extremism. So whatever Sean Feucht is up to, it can’t be all bad.

David, have you REALLY not noticed that this episode is a case of government interference in religious worship and speech? ‘ … refused permits to perform… because his performance “goes against the values of inclusion, solidarity and respect.”’ !!!
Leslyn Lewis has: “Since when in Canada is a peaceful Christian worship gathering considered a security or safety threat by the government?
Let’s call this what it is — persecution and a violation of the Charter-protected freedoms of religion and speech.
These freedoms belong to every Canadian, not just to those the government approves of.”
Whatever next?
Leslyn Lewis for PM!
I’m thinking that this guy was doing OK in Davids eyes till the Maga issue came up-Thats Davids trigger….not sure why really-Mr Trump may be crass and sometimes vulgar but he’s the biggest supporter of Christians in U.S. politics since Regan…
Yes, indeed. While that’s not a man that I’d want to spend an evening with, and his tariffs sabre-rattling is irritating, he’s the best thing to happen to the USA for ever so long.
I suppose that he did put the Liberals in just now to our hurt …
sorry- “Reagan”
