"If I had shown up with purple hair and a dress, claiming to be a woman, the government wouldn't have said a word."

City officials in West Kelowna and Abbotsford say they are reviewing safety protocols and event permitting ahead of appearances by Sean Feucht, a U.S. Christian musician and preacher whose Canadian “worship tour” has already faced a wave of cancellations elsewhere in the country.

Last week, authorities, including Parks Canada in Halifax and municipal officials in Charlottetown, Quebec City, Moncton, Gatineau and Vaughan — revoked permits or cancelled events, citing public safety concerns or misalignment with community values.

Feucht, a MAGA-supporting Christian Nationalist worship-music singer said on X on July 24, “If I had shown up with purple hair and a dress, claiming to be a woman, the government wouldn’t have said a word.”

He later claimed on X the cancellations were “blatant Christian persecution in Canada.”
