City fines Montreal church for hosting MAGA-affiliated singer Sean Feucht concert
The City of Montreal has fined a local church $2,500 for hosting a concert Friday night by the U.S.-based Christian musician Sean Feucht.
The city says the church did not have a permit to organize the concert, which it says ran counter to Montreal's values of inclusion, solidarity and respect.
Officials have cancelled Feucht's scheduled concerts in several Canadian cities in recent days, including Halifax, Charlottetown and Quebec City.
Feucht has spoken out against 'gender ideology,' abortion and the LGBTQ+ community and his religious and political views have grabbed the attention of U.S. President Donald Trump's administration.
Montreal police arrested a 38-year-old man during a protest Friday night outside the church.
They also say a smoke bomb was set off inside the church during Feucht's performance.

Canadians can no longer choose 'X' for gender when applying for Nexus card
OTTAWA — Canadians renewing or applying for Nexus travel cards can no longer choose an X gender marker, following an executive order from U.S. President Donald Trump that said the American government will only recognize male or female. Article content The change took effect in February 2025. Article content Article content New applicants and people renewing their membership can apply using a Canadian passport with the 'X' gender identifier but will have to select 'male' or 'female' for their Nexus membership, said Luke Reimer, spokesperson for the Canada Border Services Agency. Article content Article content Current Nexus cards identifying members by a gender other than 'male' or 'female' will remain valid until they expire, the spokesperson said. Article content Article content Nexus memberships are valid for five years and are meant to speed up border crossings between Canada and the United States. Article content Canadians first got the option to pick an 'X' gender marker on their Nexus passes in 2022. Between implementation in 2022 and March 2025, about 550 Nexus applications were submitted with 'X' as the gender identifier. Article content The CBSA spokesperson said that while Canada and the U.S. share management of the Nexus program, the application process is housed on a U.S system operated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Article content The spokesperson said that while the Government of Canada recognizes the 'X' gender identifier, it can't guarantee entry or transit through other countries. Article content Article content 'Not all countries have the same values and legal system that we have in Canada,' Reimer said in a statement. 'As a result, it is important for travellers to be informed about the legal framework and social customs governing sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression and sex characteristics in the destination country.' Article content Article content Reimer said that the CBSA itself recognizes that individuals may self-identify with a gender identity other than male or female. Article content 'What we are seeing right now is a policy that is at odds with our own policy and inconsistent and incompatible with it,' Sarah Mikhail, an associate lawyer at Smith Immigration Law, said, adding that it's too early to tell how Canada's passport policy could be affected.

‘There's something for everyone': Edmonton Fringe Festival returns for 44th year

(Miriam Valdes-Carletti/CTV News Edmonton) Over 1,600 artists from nine countries come to the heart of Old Strathcona next week for the 44th-annual Edmonton International Fringe Festival. It's North America's largest and longest-running fringe theatre festival and runs this year from Aug. 14 to 24. 'There's something for everyone at Fringe,' said Executive Director Megan Dart. This year's event features over 200 indoor theatre showings, two outdoor stages with more than 40 performers, a KidsFringe, audio tour and even a holdover series for those who missed a show they really wanted to see. This year, Dart said the big-picture focus of the event is to 'close that gap between rising expenses and stagnating funding.' Artists set their own ticket prices, and 100 per cent of that price goes directly into their pockets. Show tickets for indoor theatre productions range from $9 to $20, and some shows offer discount pricing for kids, students and seniors. Dart estimates that that's more than $1.3 million put back into the pockets of artists, with a large chunk of it staying in Alberta's economy. 'Over our 11 days of festival … our local shops, our businesses, our bars, our restaurants, all thrive. When Fringe thrives, we create jobs,' Dart said. Attendees are seen at a venue at the Edmonton Fringe Festival in an undated handout photo. The Edmonton Fringe Festival says a new fundraising campaign that lets donors "adopt" and then name a portable toilet has been a success. THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO... Attendees are seen at a venue at the Edmonton Fringe Festival in an undated handout photo. THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO-Edmonton Fringe Festival What is Fringe? Fringe theatre is known for its risk-taking and community-creating. Their website says once you're at the festival, you can't go wrong because 'fringing is about escaping into the unknown and taking creative risks.' The productions and patios aren't the only places to have fun there, either. For example, this year, all the port-a-potties have been adopted and named after their 'parents.' 'It started as a bit of an April Fool's joke,' Dart said. 'We launched this campaign to name porta-potties and our community really responded. We are so grateful that they have a great sense of humour.' The media kickoff on Aug. 6 saw previews of upcoming productions like Rats Academy Two: Naw and Order, a story about the last two rats in famously rat-free Alberta. 'The Fringe is a place where everybody comes together and they celebrate what it means to be an artist,' said Dayna Lea-Hoffman, who plays the rat named Fingers. Fingers and Shrimp, or actor Katie Yoner, have been doing the festival across North America for three years now and said it's a great opportunity to celebrate the weird, the wild and the heartwarming. 'It gives you a little break from the hard day-to-day life and working kind of thing,' Lea-Hoffman said. With files from CTV News Edmonton's Miriam Valdes-Carletti
