Beijing Olympics

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada will join a diplomatic boycott of the Winter Olympics in Beijing next year, citing extensive human rights abuses by the Communist regime in the host country.

Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole is calling on the government to push for a new host for the Beijing Olympics next year amid China's "genocide" against minority Uighurs.

More than a dozen federal lawmakers from all parties are calling for the 2022 Winter Olympics to be moved outside China, citing a "genocidal campaign" by the state against Uighurs and other Muslim minorities.
