City fines Montreal church for hosting MAGA-affiliated singer Sean Feucht concert

By Canadian Press on July 26, 2025.

MONTRÉAL — The City of Montreal has fined a local church $2,500 for hosting a concert Friday night by the U.S.-based Christian musician Sean Feucht.

The city says the church did not have a permit to organize the concert, which it says ran counter to Montreal’s values of inclusion, solidarity and respect.

Officials have cancelled Feucht’s scheduled concerts in several Canadian cities in recent days, including Halifax, Charlottetown and Quebec City.

Feucht has spoken out against “gender ideology,” abortion and the LGBTQ+ community and his religious and political views have grabbed the attention of U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration.

Montreal police arrested a 38-year-old man during a protest Friday night outside the church.

They also say a smoke bomb was set off inside the church during Feucht’s performance.
