I'm really thankful this event was cancelled, but honestly quite infuriated that their permit was approved in the first place. It shouldn't take public outrage in order to not have fascists preaching their hateful rhetoric in public parks.

A few years ago some drag queen friends of mine received death threats before a performance in this very same park. Queer and other marginalized peoples don't deserve to be faced with violence in a city-approved public performance.

This asshat was scheduled at a national historic site in NS. Also cancelled due to the public backlash. He's now performing at a property registered to a religious group near Halifax. I wish I could get there to protest cause fuck them.

Again I'm with you. How did this even get approved in the first place?

Where I am the promoter didn’t disclose that he was there, after announcing it people saw what happen and started protesting. It’s with all the actual cluster fuck that the city decided to move
