Amy Hamm: No MAGA beliefs allowed at Parks Canada historic sites
That's it. I'm calling it: the only thing kitschier than a MAGA hat inspired by U.S. President Donald Trump is the fanatical anti-MAGA sentiment that has some Canadians behaving like the jealous stepchild sibling to our southern neighbour. Article content That is certainly how several residents of Nova Scotia are acting after discovering that a so-called 'MAGA influencer' and musician, Sean Feucht, had booked a show at the York Redoubt National Historic Site for Wednesday night. Their outburst about Feucht led Parks Canada to revoke his permit late Tuesday over 'evolving safety and security considerations.' The musician has since secured a new location in rural Nova Scotia. Article content On his website, Feucht describes himself as a 'speaker, author, missionary, artist, activist, and the founder of multiple global movements.…' As per Rolling Stone magazine, he's a 'far-right Jesus rocker' who praises Trump. Feucht unsuccessfully ran as a Republican candidate in 2020. In 2023, he wrote about how Canada 'desperately' needs awakening and revival. Article content Article content Let him try. Article content Nevertheless, several Nova Scotian residents garnered media attention after decrying the planned event. Not content to merely express their intolerance of Feucht's views, they want the whole show cancelled. Shut 'er down. They damn near succeeded. Their level of perturbation is hokier than a bright red 'MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN' cap. At least with the cap, one is merely expressing oneself — and not also trying to control what others can see, hear, think or do. Article content Article content More outrageous, still, is that Shannon Miedema, Liberal member of Parliament for Halifax, attempted to do the bidding of her censorious, anti-freedom constituents. According to CBC News, the outlet was shown a message that Miedema emailed a resident, which reads: 'I have the utmost respect for the value of free speech, I do not believe this event aligns with Parks Canada's core values of respect for people, equity, diversity and inclusion, or integrity.' Article content A bit like a vegan preaching the 'utmost respect' for the value of not consuming animal flesh while munching on a medium-rare steak, no? Miedema, Miedema. Allow me to give you a lesson on free speech: it necessitates allowing others to speak, even when you dislike (or think you will dislike) what they have to say. This is basic, 101-level stuff. Article content Listing off 'diversity, equity and inclusion' within a vague statement on harm or 'integrity' to suppress others' speech has become a predictable — and equally pathetic — trope of the far left. These characters, Miedema included, have yet to realize that to the average Canadian, being cancelled is now widely considered a badge of honour. We've grown tired of wokescolds.
