(Jose Luis Magana/The Associated Press) 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. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 26, 2025. The Canadian Press

A spokesperson for the city told CTV News that the church 'does not have a permit to organize a concert, and district inspectors have notified the owners that the event cannot take place.' But Feucht posted on social media that 'The church IS NOT BACKING DOWN!!!' and it's 'time to take a stand for the gospel in Canada!' They are now pressuring, threatening & attacking the Spanish pastor of the cathedral (built in the 1930's) we are at tonight in Montreal.

As in other Canadian cities, this show will not be tolerated,' said a spokesperson for Montreal in a text message. With files from CTV News Montreal's Max Harrold
