City of Abbotsford has abruptly pulled the plug on US Christian worship leader Sean Feucht’s free open air concert scheduled for August 24 at Mill Lake Park, citing fears of public protests it says it cannot safely manage.The decision lines Abbotsford up with every city on Feucht’s east-coast swing — Halifax, Charlottetown, Moncton, Quebec City, Vaughan, and Winnipeg — all six of which yanked their permits for the same “health and safety concerns.”.OLDCORN: From aprons to extremism? Traditional values are not ‘extremist’.Feucht still lists Prairie and BC stops in Saskatoon on August 21, Edmonton on August 22, and West Kelowna on August 23, although West Kelowna says its safety plan is “under review” and no final ruling has been made.In a social media post, Feucht accused Canadian officials of “religious discrimination,” while local advocacy groups praised the cancellations as necessary to keep LGBTQ and other residents “safe.”
