Scotland wins raves for its treatment of Trump? Now, it's Canada's turn.
Until a few days ago, we cats were blissfully unaware of the existence of someone called Sean Feucht, but we know who he is now. Feucht is a so-called "Christian" singer who is pro-MAGA, anti-abortion and anti-gay. One of his claims to fame is fighting COVID restrictions in 2020. This summer, he's been trying to tour Canada, and not meeting with much success. Venues in cities like Quebec, Halifax, Charlottetown, Moncton and Gatineau have canceled their contracts with him.
In Quebec, for example, the city-owned venue said they'd been lied to — by omission. "The presence of a controversial artist was not mentioned when the contract was signed between ExpoCité and the promoter of the concert planned for the site," said a spokesman.
In Montréal, Feucht performed at a church on the Plateau, even though the venue, Église MR, did not have the proper city permit to hold the event, and had been warned not to proceed without one. Protesters showed up, outnumbering the small crowd inside, and the police had to intervene. On Saturday, the city fined the church $2,500 for hosting the Trumpy Feucht in the first place.
As you'd imagine, Feucht is one of those proudly obnoxious MAGAts who thinks that rules don't apply to him. So we're glad that municipalities in Canada are making it clear that his right-wing beliefs are not welcome there. Still, we'd love to go back to the days when we had no idea who Sean Feucht was. We cats HISS and PURR at the same time.
