LILLEY: Canada's left shows they don't support free speech

Get the latest from Brian Lilley straight to your inbox Pro-Trump and Christian singer Sean Feucht gets ready for his performance at Ministerios Restauración in Montreal on July 25, 2025. Allen McInnis/Montreal Gazette Sean Feucht was supposed to do a short six date tour through Canada. Now, after CBC launched a holy war against him, alongside the Liberal Party of Canada, the Christian singer and pastor has added more dates to his Canadian tour. He was shut down from playing in several public venues and the church that he performed his worship songs in while visiting Montreal was threatened with a $2,500 fine for allowing him to sing Christian songs.

That's wild. Not Iraq or Turkey, but Canada,' Feucht said, while leading the crowd in worship Sunday night in Toronto. Feucht has toured Canada in the past without issue; he's toured the world without issue, including in majority Muslim countries like Iraq and Turkey. But in Canada, there was an attempt to shut him down. CBC led the charge to say that this singer who has supported Donald Trump and who spoke out against COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020 shouldn't be allowed to perform in Canada. The rest of the lemmings in Canada's mainstream media decided to follow suit. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms, part of Canada's constitution, states that 'Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms:' Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

The reasoning was suspect at best but came down to they didn't like what he had said in the past.

There is a claim that Feucht is also against the 2SLGBTQ+ community because he believes in the traditional definition of marriage. So do most Catholic priests and bishops in Canada, most Orthodox Rabbis and most Muslim Imams. You can accept and love someone, which Christianity tells you to do, without fully embracing how they live their life. That is a sin, according to the secular world that we live in, and anything short of embracing and participating in this worldview is the gravest sin. When I was young, it was the left who said live and let live. Now the left says accept whatever we declare to be valid, or we will call you a bigot, a racist, and a homophobe. Thankfully, fewer people are willing to accept this bullying tactic, it simply isn't true. We can, and should have, a variety of political and religious views and not be subject to a homogeneous world view. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. I may be a Christian, but my Catholic viewpoint is different than what Sean Feucht puts forward. His view on the Gospel, on Christ, on so many issues is different than mine and our politics are different, as well. None of that takes away from the fact that even as an American, as a visitor to this country, that he should have the ability to speak, sing and perform freely. If you believe he should be shut down because he has supported Trump in the past, maybe you should fold your tent and move south because you are embracing what you claim to hate.

A new series of books from publisher McClelland & Stewart that contemplates life in Canada coincides with the 10th anniversary of the final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). Published on July 15, Kanata Classics' first six titles, which are all previously released works of fiction and non-fiction, feature writing by a range of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadian authors and feature new packaging and introductions. The initiative was spearheaded by publisher Stephanie Sinclair, who joined McClelland & Stewart (which is owned by Penguin Random House) in 2022. 'We started to talk about it within six months of my starting … the first conversations were enthusiastic,' she says. 'It felt really important to get it done in 2025 to honour the 10th anniversary of the TRC.' Nishga by Jordan Abel, Halfbreed by Maria Campbell, and Bear by Marian Engel are part of the Kanata Classics lineup. Sinclair worked with Robert Wheaton, Penguin Random House Canada's chief strategy and operations officer, to navigate the bureaucratic details and create an advisory board (which includes McNally Robinson Booksellers co-owner Chris Hall and Free Press columnist Niigaan Sinclair). 'I could ask them the big questions — not about title selections, but about the framing of the series,' she says. 'It felt really helpful to have this brain trust that I could go to for advice.' Publisher Stephanie Sinclair tapped an advisory panel including McNally Robinson Booksellers co-owner Chris Hall and Free Press columnist Niigaan Sinclair to curate the first six titles of the Kanata Classics series. One of her first choices was Nisga'a author Jordan Abel's Nishga. (Supplied photo) For Stephanie Sinclair, who identifies as Cree, Ojibwa, and German/Jewish, the first six books — three by Indigenous writers and the other three by non-Indigenous authors — speak to the experience of Canadian life. 'One of the things that was really important to me, as an urban Indigenous person who didn't grow up in ceremony or in community, was that the books speak to all of our relationship with land, and how differently that can be experienced,' she says. 'That's one of the threads through all the books. It's something that is so often overlooked, and that is really, deeply important to our survival on multiple levels.' With the titles selected, Sinclair then turned to finding writers to pen introductions to each of the books (save Maria Campbell's memoir Halfbreed — Campbell wrote her own introduction). 'I had a list of ideal people — I wrote to them, and everyone very enthusiastically and quickly said yes. It was beautiful … it just came together incredibly seamlessly,' she says. (Winnipeg's David A. Robertson wrote the introduction to Richard Wagamese's novel Medicine Walk.) Sinclair then enlisted book designer Kelly Hill to create the look and feel of the Kanata Classics series. 'Kelly really understood my vision for it, and has such an incredibly beautiful esthetic and brought such thoughtful care to all of the choices,' Sinclair says. Edmonton-based author Jordan Abel considers it an honour to have his book, Nishga, included in the Kanata Classics series. (Tenille Campbell photo) One of Sinclair's first choices for the Kanata Classics series was Nisga'a author Jordan Abel's Nishga. Originally published in 2021 by McClelland & Stewart, Nishga sees the Edmonton-based author grappling with the legacy of intergenerational trauma through fragments of memoir, transcriptions of talks as well as visual art and photography. 'I have a difficult relationship with this book — it's about intergenerational trauma and urban indigeneity and the afterlife of residential schools,' Abel says.' When I go to readings and perform parts of the book, there are only four or five pages that I can really even read from.' For Abel, the inclusion of Nishga in the Kanata Classics series was humbling. 'When I wrote Nishga, I had no real understanding of where it would go, or who would pick it up, or if anyone would pick it up, really,' he says. 'It's really an incredible honour for Nishga to be included alongside what I think are some of the best, most canonical texts in Canadian literature and also Indigenous literature,' he adds, calling Maria Campbell's Halfbreed 'maybe the most important book that I've ever read.' Island by Alistair MacLeod, Ru by Kim Thúy, and Medicine Walk, by Richard Wagamese were all previously released works of fiction and non-fiction. As part of Kanata Classics, the books will feature new packaging and introductions. Like Sinclair, Abel sees the books existing in conversation with each other as well as with Canadian readers about the experience of life in Canada. 'The books are all very different — they speak to really specific experiences within this nation … even the ones that resist that category of nation and Canadian nationalism,' he says. 'They attempt to shine a light on certain kinds of experiences that we don't always talk about, or that we don't talk about enough. I think these are underrepresented kinds of experiences of 'Canadian-ness.'' Sinclair hopes the Kanata Classics series is able to continue stimulating conversation and reflections by readers on life in Canada. 'I feel like the scope of how Canadians identify themselves has only gotten smaller over many years,' she says. 'Part of my aim with the series is, of course, to advocate for Indigenous storytelling, which has not been welcomed into the Canadian 'canon.' But I also want to make sure that books like (Vietnamese-Canadian author Kim Thúy's) Ru are there too, because they all speak to an equally important human experience.'

Province to mark 120 years of ‘history and growth' on Aug. 31 for Alberta Day

The province is celebrating more than a century of its existence in Canada with a full-day celebration in Alberta's two biggest cities on Aug. 31. Alberta was established as a province on Sept. 1, 1905, marking 120 years of 'history and growth.' 'It will be an unforgettable day celebrating this major milestone, and the people and traditions that have shaped this amazing province and Alberta's rich history within Canada,' said Arts, Culture and Status of Women Minister Tanya Fir in a news release on Monday. To celebrate the milestone, there will be free public celebrations happening on the legislature grounds in Edmonton and Heritage Park in Calgary on Aug. 31 at 11 a.m. Visitors can expect a concert with Edmonton headliner The Prairie States and Calgary headlines Jake Matthews, a made-in-Alberta marketplace, cultural workshops and kid friendly activities and a drone show. There are 40 other municipalities hosting Alberta Day celebrations for the next month.
