Trudeau announces diplomatic boycott of Beijing Olympics

We have joined America, Australia, New Zealand, UK and any others that may follow.

Here is the concern, in 1980 65 countries were part of a FULL boycott. No athletes or anything. How many will get in line for a much softer diplomatic boycott in 2022?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced today that Canada will launch a diplomatic boycott of the upcoming 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing.

No federal government officials will attend the games. Canadian athletes will still be allowed to compete.

The U.S., U.K. and Australia already have announced they won't send official delegations to the games — a collective attempt to send a message to China that its human rights abuses have not gone unnoticed.

MPs, senators and civil society groups have been pushing the Trudeau government for months to hold China accountable for its crackdown on democratic rights in Hong Kong and the ongoing abuse of the Uyghur Muslim minority.

Weak gestures. A real message is to boycott the games entirely. Everyone is way too soft on China because they care more about the Benjamins than human rights.

Money talks. That's why Canadian police groom kids and treat them like cattle for their careers.

Canada is last in Access to Justice in the G20 If a politician can address this along with the unaccountable Creepy Ones, Canada might be more in line with the U.S system.
