On the one hand, I am against genocide and I support the Uyghurs. On the other, I support the two Michaels. They are two separate things, but I understand why the Canadian government is really in a tight spot right now. They want to protect our two Canadians.
If we send athletes to the Beijing Olympics, it sends a horrible message. How can we live with what is happening in Hong Kong and the Uyghurs' situation?
We know that the Beijing government is seeking glory on the international stage. Each time people criticize them, as Canadian and British members of Parliament have done, they get very angry. They are interested in what people think of them. I agree with Irwin Cotler and his team that the Olympics should be boycotted.
