The Dangerous Silence: Who’s Really Shutting Down Free Speech?

The Dangerous Silence: Who’s Really Shutting Down Free Speech? By Dale Jodoin American Christian singer Sean Feucht is being banned from more cities, not because he broke the law or sparked violence but because he holds traditional Christian views on abortion and marriage. His concerts are peaceful. Families sing, worship, and go home without incident. So why is he being shut down? City officials claim it’s to “protect the public” from possible violence. But no violence has ever come from Feucht or his supporters. The threats are coming from outside groups of radical protesters who say they’ll cause chaos if the events go ahead. These aren’t right-wing mobs. They aren’t white supremacists or hate groups. The real threats are coming from the far-left: masked agitators, campus activists, and street-level radicals who now make up what many call the woke army. They’re the same people behind protests that turn violent on university campuses anytime a speaker with conservative values is invited. They shut down others, smash windows, and burn flags and they get away with it. These activists belong to what’s now being called cancel culture. They don’t want conversation. They want control. And they’re being protected by the left-leaning government, which looks the other way when violence is promised by its own supporters. When a conservative voice is punished for their beliefs, the silence from leadership is deafening. In Canada, it’s the same story. Christian groups are pushed out of public spaces. People are fired for quoting scripture. Parents are warned to stay quiet at school board meetings. The message is clear: agree with us or disappear. It’s not just about Sean Feucht anymore. It’s about a dangerous pattern: people being shut down for what they believe, while violent mobs are allowed to operate without consequence. And the worst part? The media won’t touch it. Where is CBC? Where is CTV? Why isn’t the Toronto Star asking who’s threatening the peace? Why isn’t anyone asking why the concerts are really being cancelled? If the threats were coming from the far-right, it would be headline news. But when the violence comes from the far-left, the media goes silent. That silence isn’t accidental. It’s protection. This isn’t about public safety. It’s about politics. The same cancel culture mobs show up time and time again. And one group in particular Antifa has crossed the line. It should no longer be treated as a protest group. Antifa should be declared a left-leaning terrorist organization. They use threats, violence, and fear to shut down political opponents. That’s terrorism, no matter what side it comes from. Most Canadians aren’t extreme. They don’t want violence. They just want to believe what they believe, speak freely, and raise their families in peace. But right now, they’re being silenced by a small, aggressive group that screams “tolerance” while showing none. The people being shut down aren’t dangerous. They aren’t causing harm. The real danger is coming from the ones threatening violence. And the fact that cities, schools, and governments are giving in to them proves just how far we’ve fallen. Maybe it’s time we stop being afraid of the wrong people. Sean Feucht represents millions of quiet, peaceful people who are now treated as if they’re a threat just for believing something different. If we let these mobs decide who’s allowed to speak, sing, or even gather, we’ve already lost freedom in this country. And if the media won’t report the truth, we have to ask: What is their agenda? Why are they protecting the violent? Why are they hiding the facts? Why is it only called “hate” when it comes from the right? We need to stop pretending this is about justice or inclusion. It’s about power and fear. The left-leaning cancel mobs are growing bolder because no one is holding them accountable. And the people in charge are letting it happen. This isn’t normal. This isn’t safe. And it’s not democracy. It’s control. And if we stay quiet, we’re next.
