i would no doubt disagree with this guy on virtually everything, but i doubt his concert poses any kind of security threat, and i don't see how it's any more offensive to have a christian musician than it is to have a muslim festival. the latter would almost certainly not have been cancelled, and these same people have come out in opposition to banning muslims praying in public spaces in canada about the same issues (this is a real issue here, specifically in montreal), which is exactly the same thing. it sets a bad precedent and a double standard that the bourgeois left may regret one day in the near future, after a change in government cancels a concert critical of pierre polievre due to "security concerns". conversely, if they are going to apply this precedent fairly, they
should be ensuring that muslim groups are not allowed to pray on public property, either.
i'm not a christian. i'm a secularist and an atheist. i'm concerned about the precedent. i have no solidarity with this guy.
we don't give free speech rights to foreigners in canada, so he doesn't have a case, but he has one in principle. this is the government infringing on the right to free assembly in a pretty blatant way. i would hope the ccla would step in, to get some kind of process in place to censure parks canada for an absurd decision.
