The guy IS getting to talk (or sing, or spread hate or whatever he does). First in NS he was rightfully not allowed to use a National Park but got to use a right wing church property. And what I can see he's finding venues to use across the country, and reaping a lot of free PR from the media.

And yes, anybody of any stripe should have to follow the rules to use public spaces for events.

Free speech (as opposed to hate speech) applies to this guy as much as anybody. Just a question of where and how.

Can you show us where in the constitution where it states free speech is only free depending on where and how...Perhaps you can point out his hate speech....

All public spaces in Canada are protected by all our freedoms....not just the ones you want .

The guy is not welcome in any govt associated venues cuz they don't want to egg on protesters and rioters. 

So basically the test for denial of free speech is how much of a stink one raises. If I don't like something you say I just need to organize enough people and make a fuss and I can shut you down.

How the hell can you pretend a singer that supports a leader who despises every premise of Christianity is a fellow of that religion.
Disgusting.

Why is this relevant? Basically you are arguing that he is an heretical Christian or that his Christianity is not genuine. So what? I really don't know enough about what the guy espouses. I never heard of him before last week. Why does this even come into play? His right to free speech is not based on whether or not he is what you or I consider to be a genuine Christian or not.

Who gets to define what is "hate speech"?  You?

Legislation and the courts.  Like every legal question in the nation.

The bible is actually consistent in both testaments about homosexuality being a sin.

Absolutely.  And same with divorce.  And with wives being property of the husband.

And has he been convicted of anything under our draconian hate laws??

So far, the only arguments I see against him are that he has expressed certain views in the past. So he has been denied the right to perform based on the fact that he thinks certain things.

Free speech isn’t in the Canadian Constitution. And you served in the Canadian military?  You seem very American.

No one charged him with anything.  Having a concert isn’t a right in Canada.

What hatred is he bringing? Are you saying that anyone who supports Trump should not be able to perform in Canada?

Given Trump’s rhetoric about annexing Canada, that would be perfectly reasonable.

So basically half of the US should not be allowed to perform in Canada? 

Has this Feucht guy expressed any views about annexing Canada?

I rarely expect a principled response from you on any matter.

Are we talking about Trump or Sean Feucht here?

No. He was clearly asking about the person performing at the church. Can you answer the question or nah?

Cuz your claiming it's denial of freedom of religion, when it clearly isn't as is implied by your very question.

So put your money where your mouth is an send that church a donation to help cover the fine. But no - you'll just snivel on the Internet forums like all the others.

I repeat, he's compensated for his music so who the hell gave him a work visa, or why isn't he deported for working here without one?

So I can't argue that a fine is unjust unless I donate to help pay the fine? Is that really your argument here, herbie? That's an incredibly stupid thing to say. You spend far more time sniveling on here than I do. Am I supposed to believe that with regard to every topic you post on you are somehow providing financial support to the people or parties involved whom you support?

Ok. If he's singin' and speechifyin' inside the Church, Ok. Christians are as entitled to hate as much as the next guy. But all outside concerts, parades, fairs etc.. get permits.

 But should we give Nazis a soapbox in our publicly owned parks? 

"The Christian singer describes himself as a musician, missionary, author and activist. He has spoken out against “gender ideology,” abortion and the LGBTQ+ community.
“Between praising President Donald Trump as God’s chosen one and suggesting that abortion supporters are ‘demons,’ Feucht has repeatedly advocated for the fusion of church and state,” the article says."
VS:
"Canada parks mandate: 
These core values – respect for people, equity, diversity and inclusion, integrity, engagement and excellence. Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Being a successful and innovative agency is rooted in our ability to create inclusive spaces where staff and visitors with a variety of perspectives and experiences feel a sense of belonging. This also means providing fair and equitable access to opportunities for under-represented people including: Black, Indigenous, people of colour, the Two Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer+ (2SLGBTQ+) community, and people living with disabilities."

I don't know what mandate or values churches have these days, but he definitely doesn't fit in with OUR parks's mandate.

If a Muslim imam was saying all the stuff he was saying, not only would you never have cared, but no one would have protested and so no one would have noticed. In fact, Muslim leaders say the same things as this guy every day across the country. And nobody gives a damn.

How about Muslim religious leaders who call for the death of Canada, or who call for their fellow Muslims to take over Canada?

You will sit around arguing America has to be overrun by illegal immigrants then sit here saying Canada should have deported this guy because you are a bigot.

Yeah, but we are not chipping in on the church's fine. Herbie is clearly doing everything he can with his time and money to help those illegal immigrants.

Point of fact, I have asked him that question many times... and he never answers.
