Published Jul 23, 2025 • 3 minute read American musician Sean Feucht had been scheduled to perform in Moncton, N.B., on Thursday, July 24, 2025. Photo by Gage Skidmore/CC BY-SA 2.0 HALIFAX — Public officials in Nova Scotia and P.E.I. have cancelled concerts by a U.S.-based Christian musician, citing complaints from residents and planned protests that raised concerns about public safety.

Create Account Singer Sean Feucht describes himself as a musician, missionary, author and activist. Having spoken out against 'gender ideology,' abortion and the LGBTQ+ community, his religious and political views have grabbed the attention of U.S. President Donald Trump's administration. Late Tuesday, Parks Canada issued a statement saying it received advice from police before revoking the permit for Feucht's performance, scheduled for Wednesday night at the York Redoubt National Historic Site overlooking Halifax harbour. 'Parks Canada has reassessed the conditions of the permit and potential impacts to community members, visitors, concert attendees and event organizers,' the agency's statement said, adding there were 'security challenges' with the site — a British fort built in 1793.

'After careful review, and due to heightened public safety concerns, Parks Canada has notified the organizer that the permit has been revoked.' Read More Parks Canada did not respond to a request for an interview and Feucht could not be reached for a comment. On Wednesday, the City of Charlottetown confirmed it had also consulted police before telling Feucht his concert slated for Thursday at Confederation Landing was cancelled due to 'evolving public safety and security concerns.' The Atlantic magazine, based in Washington, D.C., recently described Feucht as a Christian nationalist who has become a 'MAGA superstar. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'Between praising President Donald Trump as God's chosen one and suggesting that abortion supporters are 'demons,' Feucht has repeatedly advocated for the fusion of Church and state,' the article says. During a 2023 performance in Wisconsin, Feucht is quoted as saying, 'Yeah, we want God in control of government … We want God writing the laws of the land.' During the COVID-19 pandemic, he performed at Christian rock concerts in violation of lockdown orders. And in 2020, he was representing the Republican party when he failed to win a congressional seat in California. In response to Parks Canada's decision, Feucht posted a video on his Facebook page saying he was the victim of intolerance. 'This is the classic playbook of the media, of the anti-Christian bigots out there that hate Christians,' he said. 'This is the same, exact place where people gathered for a Pride event last week. But now they're not so tolerant when peaceful Christians come together.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. In another social media post, Feucht announced the Halifax-area concert venue would be moved to a site in Shubenacadie, N.S., a rural community about 60 km northeast of Halifax. 'This is not the hour to bow down to the mob,' Feucht said Wednesday on Facebook. 'No, we need to rise up. Tonight, we are going to gather. The show is going on, baby. God is with us.' On Wednesday, Quebec City organizers announced a concert scheduled on Friday at ExpoCite was cancelled. Authorities said the presence of a 'controversial artist' wasn't mentioned in the contract between the promoter and the venue and said new information led ExpoCite officials to cancel the contract. Feucht had concert dates scheduled for Thursday in Moncton, N.B., and a string of performances in Ottawa, Toronto and five locations in Western Canada. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. There was no shortage of support for Feucht's tour on his Facebook page. 'I am also embarrassed and ashamed to hear this is happening,' said one supporter. 'We live near Moncton and can't wait to go see the Lord moving through you here Thursday night.' Another commenter was more blunt: 'Wow, this is just a Christian event. Not political.' But there were detractors as well. 'It has nothing to do with free speech,' wrote one commenter. 'It is directly a reflection of Sean's political views that support the threat against (Canadian) sovereignty.' Before city officials in Charlottetown revoked Feucht's concert permit, they issued a statement saying it was aware of concerns raised about the event, but they said there were legal restrictions on limiting access to public spaces. Still, the officials expressed the city's support for the LGBTQ+ community. 'This week marks the beginning of Pride Fest 2025,' they said. 'The City of Charlottetown stands in full support of our diverse and vibrant 2SLGBTQ+ community.' Love concerts, but can't make it to the venue?

Canadian who died in ICE custody had health issues before his death: agency report
A Canadian man who died while in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody last month had a history of serious medical conditions, according to a newly released ICE agency report. Johnny Noviello, 49, was found unresponsive just before 1 p.m. on June 23 at a federal detention centre in Miami. Shortly after, he was declared deceased by the Miami Fire Rescue Department. A detainee death report released by ICE on Wednesday states Noviello had been diagnosed with several pre-existing conditions, including hypertension and seizure disorder, slightly elevated blood pressure and high body mass index. In the weeks following his initial detention, Noviello's physical and mental health showed signs of decline, according to the internal ICE review. On May 19, a behavioural health provider (BHP) reviewed Noviello's case and suggested that he first undergo a medical evaluation, which would determine whether a formal health referral was necessary. That same day, Noviello was transferred to the Miami federal detention centre. By the end of the May, Noviello began refusing care. On June 8, after requests from both a unit officer and a health services administrator, a provider evaluated Noviello again. During this encounter, Noviello reported feeling 'sad and depressed,' refusing to attend a medical clinic for a full evaluation. A mental health referral was requested as a result. The following day, a provider visited Noviello again at the request of a BHP. The report noted poor personal hygiene and that Noviello had not eaten 'in a while.' While his vital signs remained within normal limits, the providers ordered further lab work and discussed with Noviello 'the importance of self-hygiene and proper diet,' according to the report. ICE said the Canadian entered the U.S. with a visa on Jan. 2, 1988. He became a permanent resident more than three years later. Last May, he was arrested by ICE at a probations office and charged with removal for violating U.S. drug laws. In October 2023, he was convicted in eastern Florida for racketeering and drug trafficking and sentenced to 12 months in prison. Noviello's former lawyer, Dan Leising, said in June that Noviello's only known family member is his father, Angelo, who was 'distraught' to hear about his son's death. According to Foreign Affairs Minister Anita, there are approximately 55 Canadians who are still detained by ICE. ICE data revealed that seven other people have died in 2025 while in ICE's custody.
