That does literally nothing. Governments shouldn't use athletes as pawns for political stunts at the Olympics.
If we want to stand up to China, we have to cease trade with them, and impose sanctions. Unfortunately, Canadians don't care
that much about sending a message to a genocidal regime to actually make some self sacrifice, so I'm afraid nothing can be done. At best, the government should make an official statement, but we don't have the political muscle to make one iota of difference.
So we may as well send the athletes since only they will get punished if we don't go. China won't care.
