Boycotting the Olympics

from Unpublished Cafe · host Unpublished Media Inc.

PUBLISHED: 12/02/2021 With less than a year before the 2022 Beijing Olympics, there is a growing chorus of voices calling for a boycott of the next Winter Games. Will it happen? Canada has two citizens in Chinese custody on trumped up charges. They have been in custody for over two years. Many raised eyes have been looking at China over its human rights abuses, in particular of the Igyhur Muslims and Tibetans. Maybe Xi Jinping is feeling the heat about some countries possibly boycotting because he’s promised sanctions for any country that does boycott. That sounds like extortion. Boycotts aren’t new when it comes to the Olympiad. Western nation’s boycotted the 1980 Moscow Games. The ’76 Games in Montreal were also boycotted. The collateral damage in a boycott are the athletes who have spent the last four years training for the Games. ———————————— GUESTS: Kevin Cai - Associate Professor of East Asian Studies Renison College at University of Waterloo -https://uwaterloo.ca/culture-and-language-studies/people-profiles/kevin-cai David Mulroney - former Canadian Ambassador to China -https://munkschool.utoronto.ca/profile/mulroney-david/ Marcus Kolga - Senior Fellow at Macdonald-Laurier Institute & Founder of DisinfoWatch.org -https://www.macdonaldlaurier.ca/experts/marcus-kolga/ ———————————— REFERENCES: https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/canada-should-consider-hosting-2022-winter-olympics-says-green-leader-annamie-paul-1.5907328 https://www.axios.com/2022-beijing-winter-olympics-boycott-china-759c66df-df19-4f1b-92a1-744b98276dc9.html https://7news.com.au/sport/winter-olympics/china-threatens-sanctions-for-countries-that-threaten-to-boycott-2022-beijing-winter-olympics-c-2126770 https://globalnews.ca/news/7621469/canada-boycott-beijing-olympics-games-2022/ https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-55938034 https://www.pri.org/stories/2020-11-12/human-rights-groups-weigh-boycott-2022-winter-olympics-beijing https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-11-12/australia-encouraged-to-boycott-beijing-winter-olympics/12876106 https://www.japantimes.co.jp/opinion/2020/07/24/commentary/world-commentary/covid-19-isnt-crisis-facing-olympics/ https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202102/1215412.shtml https://thediplomat.com/2020/10/a-boycott-of-the-2022-beijing-olympics-would-work/ https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/oct/24/the-olympics-are-about-diversity-and-unity-not-politics-and-profit-boycotts-dont-work-thomas-bach https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/canadian-olympic-committee-says-boycotting-beijing-games-would-be-misguided-1.5265375 https://www.reuters.com/article/health-coronavirus-olympics-idUSL8N2BG3M2 https://nationalpost.com/opinion/terry-glavin-do-athletes-really-want-medals-that-have-been-soaked-in-blood https://theundefeated.com/features/john-carlos-protests-and-boycotts-will-change-the-world/

Patti Talks Too Much Patti Hi. I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans. We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.
