There's no way that will withstand the court case thats coming. It was a worship service. They were singing songs, not talking about US political viewpoints. The press is making a mountain out of a molehill for the clicks but there's no way anyone needs a permit to sing songs in a church. Just yellow journalism.

To quote someone else on this: "He is not forcing the stop to alternate relationships, he is not forcing the take over of Canada. He is expressing his beliefs like the LGBT community express their beliefs during Pride Parades." Or Black Lives Matter believing stopping traffic and forcing stores to close will support their cause. Hell, we didnt even stop the pro Palestian protester who was screaming "Death to Canada!" We don't stop those people, so why should anyone think we should stop this guy?

Just because somebody says something I find disagreeable is not a justification for silencing that person. I can argue with them, I could ignore them, I can encourage people to have nothing to do with them, but I don't have a right to silence them. This is Canada, we still support free speech. Unless of course you belong to a certain minority group that would rather throw smoke bombs in churches in an act of hatred while hypocritically proclaiming that they are protesting hatred. Pretty pathetic.

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.

Its kinda funny that he's labelled almost exclusively as "MAGA" by the press when he's here to do worship services. I dont believe anything he did in his first concert had anything to do with politics, it was worship music. Its not like the press wants to stir the pot by emphasizing the MAGA thing /s

If they hadnt made a big deal out of it, this guy would've gone across Canada and nobody would've noticed except a small group of Christians. Now he's had international press and more publicity than he could ever afford to buy. Whether that was intentional or not, its brilliant marketing.

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

Feucht has framed the backlash as a violation of religious freedom, saying: “If I had shown up with purple hair and a dress, claiming to be a woman, the government wouldn’t have said a word.”

He's not wrong. And if someone had shown up at a gay club and thrown a smoke bomb on the stage during a drag show, they would be hauled out on their ass and prosecuted with anything that could be thrown at them.

Good thing we live in a country that believes in equal rights for all. But some people are more equal than others it appears.

The only act of "hate" at his worship service was the person throwing a smoke bomb.

I dont support thuggery. I do support freedom of expression, even if I dont agree with it.

Mastercard refused to allow people to donate to Julian Assange. Blatant political interference.

I cut up my Mastercard.

Thank you for a civilized and reasonable answer. There are some other small brained, rabid respondents here who could learn from you.

Iran hasn't said that Jews should be wiped off the face of the earth? One quick google says otherwise: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2005/oct/27/israel.iran

Im asking legitimate questions trying to understand an international crisis. Youre making massive assumptions based on your own prejudice.

Whoa. Whose denying anything? I'm asking questions.

So where were they supposed to go after the Nazis tried to eliminate them? They dont have ancestral or religious ties to other European lands or America or Canada or Australia or Asia or Africa so where?

Mined diamonds have always been a con job. DeBeers has captured the entire market and the promoted the idea that for some reason a guy should spend about 3 months income to buy a rock that isnt even rare. Heck, there are hundreds of them on drilling bits. But they had effective advertising and there was no competition so they convinced millions of people to shell out big dollars for a very common polished rock. Its about time there was some rationality and people refuse to spend that kind of money anymore.

ps If you want to know the true "value" of a diamond try taking it to a pawn shop. Sure, your "appraisal" from the jewelry store says its $5,000. The pawn shop says, I'll give ya $45 bucks and a free Pepsi.
