Halifax in Uproar Over Trump-Supporting Musician’s Parks Canada Concert
So, here's something that’s been stirring up some serious tension in Halifax this week—American Christian musician and outspoken Trump supporter, Sean Feucht, is kicking off his Canadian tour at a Parks Canada site, and it’s not sitting well with a lot of locals. We're talking about York Redoubt, a 230-year-old national historic site, which is now the center of a heated debate. People are frustrated, confused, and frankly, angry that someone so openly tied to the MAGA movement is being given a platform at a publicly funded venue in Canada.
Feucht isn’t just a musician—he’s a political figure in many ways. He ran unsuccessfully as a Republican in California, he’s been vocal against abortion rights and LGBTQ2+ inclusion, and he made headlines during the pandemic for hosting maskless worship concerts in defiance of COVID-19 restrictions. He even attended a faith briefing at the White House during Trump's presidency. So it’s no surprise that his presence is raising eyebrows—especially in a place like Halifax, which many consider a welcoming and inclusive community.

One resident, Todd Smith, expressed what a lot of people seem to be feeling. He literally moved his family from the U.S. to escape the MAGA movement after Trump’s reelection, only to find a symbol of that ideology performing right across the street from his new home. And he’s not alone—others in the neighborhood, like Marilyn Howard and Leslie Lee, are questioning how this event was even approved. People are talking about protesting, asking tough questions, and wondering what kind of message this sends about public spaces in Canada.
What’s also troubling is the silence from Parks Canada. Global News reached out to them for comment, but they haven’t responded. And that lack of transparency is just adding fuel to the fire. This isn’t just about music—it’s about values, public accountability, and whether Canadian spaces are truly being used in a way that reflects Canadian ideals.
Feucht’s Halifax concert is just the first stop on an 11-city tour across Canada, with upcoming shows in Charlottetown, Moncton, and Quebec City. So if this is the level of pushback in Halifax, it’ll be interesting to see how other communities respond.
Bottom line—this isn’t just a concert. It’s a flashpoint in an ongoing conversation about who gets access to public platforms and what kind of messaging we allow into our shared spaces.
