will be in Beijing in 12 months competing in the 2022 Winter Olympics.But that doesn’t mean that it’s the right thing to send them there.I get the arguments against a boycott: it’s unfair to the athletes, it’s unlikely to accomplish much (especially if Canada acts alone), it would likely worsen relations with China, and I suppose it’s even counter to the spirit of unity and togetherness that the Olympics is supposed to represent.None of those arguments, however, make me feel any less uncomfortable with the idea of our participation in this spectacle.
Canadian MPs call to relocate 2022 Winter Olympics over China’s abuse of Uighurs Frankly, these arguments seem more like we’re trying to rationalize what we know to be the wrong decision..
