The performance was part of the Let Us Worship movement, where Feucht falsely claimed that Christians are being persecuted in Canada. The NCC had cancelled Feucht's permit at Jacques-Cartier Park in Gatineau on Saturday due to what it called 'public safety concerns.' 'The NCC decided not to issue an event permit following consultation with the Gatineau Police and due to concerns about public safety and security,' Valérie Dufour, senior manager of strategic communications for the NCC, said in an emailed statement.

Officials in other Canadian cities had also cancelled scheduled Feucht concerts, including Halifax, Charlottetown and Quebec City. The City of Montreal fined a local church for hosting Feucht on Friday evening, saying the church had not obtained a permit to organize the concert. The city also said the event contradicted Montreal's values of inclusion, solidarity and respect. Const. Brianna Babin of the Ontario Provincial Police's East Division told the Ottawa Citizen that officers were aware of the concert at Alfred and were monitoring it. She added that officers were also talking to Cedar Shade Campground and the Township of Alfred and Plantagenet about the event. The campground told the Citizen it wasn't affiliated with Feucht's concert. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'It's been very good for open communication in that regard, so we know what's happening. We have officers that are boots on the ground, like our road officers are doing patrols in the area,' Babin said. 'The thing is, with any type of big event like this …. for a big show, a big event, they would normally hire the OPP to come do traffic control, crowd control, security, that type of stuff. This is not the case for this one. It's not a paid duty (assignment), so it's just our road officers being aware and patrolling the area. 'The campground has hired their own security for the event. Should anything transpire, the OPP is aware of it and the surrounding detachment areas as well. We're all in the loop.' Babin said she couldn't give an estimate of how many people attended the concert as of 3:50 p.m. on Saturday. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'I touched base with the sergeant around one o'clock, and he had let me know that the stage was set up, but there was nobody there at that time. Nothing had started filling up,' Babin said. 'Now I know the concert just started at three, so I don't know the numbers … If there's no reason for us to be inside there, then we wouldn't even know.' Feucht, an American Christian nationalist, has previously opposed abortion rights, COVID-19 public-health restrictions and the LGBTQ2S+ community. He calls himself a speaker, author, missionary, artist and activist. He unsuccessfully ran for a seat in the United States Congress in California in 2020 and has held prayer concerts against COVID-19 restrictions. His political views has grabbed the attention of U.S. President Donald Trump's administration, and Feucht was invited to the White House for a faith briefing in December 2019, one week before Trump was first impeached by the House of Representatives for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

Feucht is a Trump supporter, most recently calling on fans to pray after the president was diagnosed with a chronic venous insufficiency, a condition in which an individual's leg veins don't allow blood to flow back towards the heart. This can cause blood to collect in the legs. With files from The Canadian Press. Join us!

Create Account Gosling was joined on a convention panel by directing duo Christopher Miller and Phil Lord, as well as screenwriter Drew Goddard and book author Andy Weir — whose previous novel The Martian 'was also turned into an Oscar-nominated film starring Matt Damon. Based on Weir's 2021 book of the same title, 'Project Hail Mary' follows astronaut Ryland Grace (Gosling), a science teacher waking up to learn he was recruited for a space mission to save Earth from an existential solar threat. Gosling described his character as 'a scared guy who has to do something impossible.' 'I knew it would be brilliant, because it's Andy (Weir),' Gosling told the crowd. 'It took me places I've never been. It showed me things I had never seen. It was as heartbreaking as it was funny and I was… not just blown away, but also overwhelmed.'

Weir for his part said it was 'so cool' to see his book come to life and complimented Gosling for giving 'many layers to this character I made up.' Lord and Miller, the Oscar-winning duo behind the 'Spider-Verse' Spider-Man animated films, talked about the challenges of shooting a 'crazy ambitious' film which takes place inside a spaceship for the most part. 'We had to build an entire spaceship in two modes of gravity, and then we built this entire massive tunnel at scale,' Miller said. 'This is insane, to build a tunnel that was like 100 feet (30 metres) long, filled up an entire stage.' The event also showcased various clips from the film, receiving a positive response from fans, who noted the bond formed between Gosling's character and an alien named Rocky. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'The relationship between these two characters is the heart of the movie,' Miller said. 'I loved it,' attendee April Rodriguez, who also read the book, gushed about the film. 'I just never, like, envisioned it that way. So that was pretty cool.' Star Trek Comic-Con, which bring some 130,000 fans for the convention in San Diego, California, welcomed the Star Trek universe to the main stage earlier in the day Saturday to showcase its upcoming releases. Thousands of fans filled the hall to watch exclusive footage from the fourth season of 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' before it premieres on Paramount+. One clip showed Captain Christopher Pike played by Anson Mount in an entire episode where the cast is depicted like puppets from Jim Henson's Creature Shop.

Hunter plays Nahla Ake, the academy's chancellor and captain of the USS Athena, who in a clip shown at Comic-Con welcomes a new class of cadets. 'It was really interesting to get the offer to be the captain, but then also to combine that with being the chancellor,' Hunter said. 'The captain is there to analyze in emergency situations, and then to delegate. And the chancellor is there to guide, to collaborate and to have tremendous empathy. 'It was just a wonderful combination of things,' she added. Comic-Con continues on Sunday for its final day of events. Sports Columnists Sunshine Girls Toronto & GTA Toronto & GTA

'Feral child summer' trend rad for some parents, bummer for others

Create Account Yes, please, say some parents. Giving kids a 'feral child summer' — also being tabbed as a ''90s summer' — is the latest parenting trend making the rounds online as overworked moms and dads are trading day camps for the memory of carefree summers fuelled by Kool-Aid and Dunkaroos. While some parents see the fad as unrealistic in a time of increased gun violence, extreme weather and online distractions, others are throwing structure to the wind in favour of no-limit couch time and exploring the outdoors unsupervised. Brooklyn's Eric Katzman, 46, told the New York Post he is trying to let his kids embrace the freewheeling '90s spirit. 'We roamed, went to the candy store, the fro-yo place, but we always knew to come home,' the public relations professional said about his childhood.

Podcast host Kylie Kelce, who is married to retired Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce, raved about the fad in a recent episode of Not Gonna Lie . 'I love the idea,' the mother of four said. 'I currently will unleash my children into the backyard. If one of them ends up digging out a rock, have at it.' Chill out for a moment, dude. Not everyone thinks this is a sick idea. Recommended video Anna Levy-Warren, a Brooklyn-based psychologist who works with families, told the New York Post that while it's 'crucially important' to give kids a chance to be bored and explore their imagination without the help of a screen, 'we live in a very different world than the one of the '90s summer.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Plus, it may be the result of parents overcompensating for their family's busy schedule. Claire Vallotton, a professor of human development and family studies at Michigan State University, told USA Today that the desire for a '90s summer is 'likely a reaction to a parenting culture that tries to overschedule kids with summer activities to optimize child development. 'They are overscheduled and using technology too much,' she told USA Today . 'It's a reaction that makes a lot of sense, but trying to solve it all in one summer isn't going to work for either the children or parents.' Vallotton suggested parents find ways to ease their kids into a 'feral child summer' by limiting screen time, promoting outdoor fun and scheduling peer play with minimal supervision.
