Across the country, Christian singer Sean Feucht was shut down for his views. So is free speech on the way out in Canada? In this op-ed, the CCF's @JoshDehaas explains how vague laws and the fear of offence is leading to real censorship. https://t.co/7jfDSVCusp

"Public officials cancelled or denied Sean Feucht's permits in nine cities, from Halifax to Abbotsford, B.C. Montreal went so far as to fine a church $2,500 for hosting his concert."

Quebec plans to ban public prayer. The CCF condemns this attack on religious freedom. If the concern is unlawful blockades, existing laws should be enforced. The criminalization of peaceful expressions of faith is a clear unconstitutional overreach. https://t.co/Hmzr3qylj5

Christine Van Geyn (@cvangeyn) just wrote an excellent piece in the National Post, regarding my case around the $28,872.50 fine I received from the Province of Nova Scotia, for going into the woods. Christine is the Litigation Director at the Canadian Constitution Foundation
