Brett Kissel Defends Canadian Identity

Brett Kissel’s anthem performance sparked controversy—not for the singing, but for singing only in English before a national soccer match, triggering online backlash and false separatist links he fiercely denies. Rooted deep in Alberta’s cattle country, he’s adamant he’s both Canadian and Albertan, and frustrated that his music and conservative views are being weaponized politically. While his song “Line in the Sand” got mislabeled as a convoy anthem, Kissel insists he’s just a country singer who doesn’t want his art tied to politics—despite his past ties to Conservative events and family standoffs with pandemic rules. He’s drawing a firm line: he’s not a separatist, and he’s tired of being boxed in by assumptions. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
