Its going to come down to whether this was a special 'concert' organized by Mr Feucht or whether the congregation, hearing that Mr Feucht was denied the chance to play at this previously planned venue, then invited to join them for their worship service as a guest musician.

It appears to be the latter as the press release is worded "protesters attempt to shut down Christian service attended by U.S. artist Sean Feucht" All it would take is for someone in the church leadership to testify, 'Yes we invited him to come play at our service' and its not a concert, he's a guest musician at a worship service and you dont need a permit for that.

Either way the city is going to lose because they shut him down on a pretense but the real motivation was action by local activist groups, and that won't fly in court as a legal reason to silence him. This is still Canada, we dont shut people down because some people dont like their message. We dont even shut down a public protests where the leader uses a bullhorn to scream "Death to Canada!" so Im pretty sure Mr Feucht's worship songs to what sounds like a very small group of people, will pass the legal test.

Thats a press release from the legal department of The Democracy Fund. What part is gaslighting?

Well, pretty much knew it was coming. The city will DEFINITELY lose this case...

NEWS RELEASE Montreal church fined for worship service; TDF takes on legal defence

The Democracy Fund defends Ministerios Restauración after police interruption and protesters attempt to shut down Christian service attended by U.S. artist Sean Feucht.

Montreal — The Democracy Fund has stepped in to represent Ministerios Restauración/Église MR - the Montreal church at which US-based artist Sean Feucht worshipped on July 25, 2025.

Ministerios Restauracion Church was issued a ticket with a fine in the amount of $2,500 for engaging in Christian worship at a Friday service. Video shows police entering the Church before or during the worship service. Later, protesters attempted to forcefully shut it down.

Feucht, a Christian musician and activist known for leading large outdoor worship events across the U.S., was in Montreal as part of a Canadian visit. His presence drew criticism from local activist groups. Officials accused the Church of violating municipal bylaws related to event permits or zoning. However, no such regulations prohibit regular worship gatherings.

TDF litigation director, Mark Joseph, said: "Freedom of religion is a fundamental freedom under s.2(a) of the Charter: you do not need permission or a permit from the government to worship at a church in Canada. It is absurd to suggest otherwise, and it risks setting a dangerous precedent that will extend to all religions. TDF and its lawyers intend to fight this matter and are eager to respond to this obvious Charter infringement in court."

Somewhere between Vancouver and Winnipeg lol

So you approve of violence against people you disagree with philosophically? Alrighty then. Thats a good way to start a civil war but that's not how Canadians solve differences.

Im not a bot and Im from western Canada, Im quite familiar with "hate" speech laws. Please show me what he said at that church that was "hate" speech?

I think he knows that the group thats pushing back the hardest is the LGBT community because he's not a supporter. And therefore his contrasting example is very applicable.

So you think buying a railway network is the same as buying single family houses from MILLIONS of Canadians, some of whom, like me, live in them or actually built them ourselves? Ok then, good luck with that brilliant plan. Im sure there will be no pushback on that idea.

Lol. Yeah I closed it. But declaring bankruptcy is more fun.
