Response to MAGA-affiliated performance on Legislature grounds

David Shepherd, Alberta New Democrat Deputy House Leader, issued the following statement in response to prominent MAGA figure performing on the grounds of the Alberta Legislature: 

“The government has a responsibility to ensure that public spaces—like the Alberta Legislature grounds—uphold the principles of inclusion and belonging for everyone. 

“Platforming a performer who has expressed hateful views is an inappropriate use of that space. 

“Other jurisdictions have denied or revoked permits for Sean Feucht’s events in public spaces. The UCP government should do the same.”
