Create Account But the Lord works in mysterious ways and this may now change. Two days after the City of Montreal fined a church $2,500 for holding a worship event without a permit, Montreal Police have now launched a probe into who threw smoke bombs at an American pastor inside a church last Friday. Better late than never. 'Yes. there is an investigation ongoing,' media spokesperson Veronique Dubuc told the Toronto Sun Tuesday. There has been no arrest so far. But there is certainly now compelling evidence to work with. Thanks to security video, put out for the public to see by Rebel News reporter Alexa Lavoie, this case now has legs. Lavoie said Friday there was little interest in pursuing the smoke bomb thrower since the focus was more on efforts to try to stop pastor Sean Feucht from taking the stage.

Antifa radicals were protesting outside, and despite a police presence, the suspect was not detained. — Alexandra Lavoie (@ThevoiceAlexa) July 29, 2025 Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

The video shows a heavy-set, dark-haired caucasian man wearing a white shirt, and suspenders holding up blue pants, walk into the church. He later allegedly takes two smoke devices out of his pockets and throws them toward Feucht, who was singing on stage. One of devices emitted white smoke and the other a large plume of purple smoke. It's unclear if he was with the Antifa protesters who were outside but he was not dressed like them. Recommended video 'There's our smoke bomb guy,' Sean Feucht posted to X Tuesday. 'Do your thing internet. Let's find him.' Dubuc said if someone 'has information' they want 'to share' that will help police, 'go to your nearest police station' or call an anonymous tips line. This is a major development because there had been a feeling amongst many at this event that there was ambivalence about this incident up until this video was dropped on the Rebel News site and retweeted by Libs of TikTok and Dacey Media.

This story is an inferno. Feucht, who ran for Congress in the United States and has been in the Oval Office of the White House to visit with President Donald Trump, has been treated like public enemy number one in Canada during his cross-country Christian worship tour. He's had his permits pulled, had the police try to stop his appearances, had his tour bus rammed and even had these smoke bombs thrown at him. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. It's unclear if Trump has been briefed on this while in Scotland, but Feucht has said his staff have reached out to him to tell him they are monitoring the situation. The whole thing is another example of the erosion of basic freedoms in Canada. People with agendas gloss over real terrorists and criminals and focus on a pastor who has done nothing wrong. It's almost like they all got the same memo. But the public is starting to wake up to the woke and radical left. And reject their bullying. The Sun's Brian Lilley has written some excellent columns this week on this — eluding to this as being akin to a religious holy war and assault on free speech and freedom of religion. The critics out to silence him have placed their priority, not on who attacked him but on him even being here. Some of the rhetoric and reaction of politicians, who turn a blind eye on so much violence and antisemitism in their own constituencies, have been embarrassingly moronic on this.

Freedom of expression is one of our fundamental values, but hateful and discriminatory speech is not acceptable in Montreal,' said Philippe Masse, a spokesperson for Mayor Valerie Plante.

The 40-year-old preacher defied police, who had come into the church looking to shut things down, and went on with his performance. But the Ministerios Restauracion Church in Mont Royal now faces a $2,500 fine for not having a permit – even though the drug addicts and antisemitic protesters that routinely fill Montreal's streets never apply for one themselves. 'A ticket was issued because the organization violated the regulations by going ahead with the show,' said the mayor's office. The thugs who tore down the statue of Sir John A Macdonald in Montreal didn't have permits, either. In Canada, terrorists get better treatment than this guy gets. Other than common Christian beliefs on abortion or gender issues, the assertions this man is homophobic are weak. He has, however, faced plenty of hate himself.

Montreal's mayor has not commented on this video and Winnipeg now said the pastor's next performance in that city has had its permit pulled. But as much as they are maligning Feucht for doing nothing wrong, the people pushing this are going to have a hard time glossing over the video showing the alleged act in progress.

But first — perhaps with some help from the internet cops m– they have to find the guy. Read More MLB Toronto & GTA Toronto Blue Jays Canada Editorial Cartoons
