It’s looking more likely to me Canada might boycott the Winter Olympics. Does that feel likely to the Canadians on here?

If it would fulfill your fantasy, sure why not

I don't think Canada will boycott the Beijing games, without support of US or any European countries

Pretty much, at best the government might protest by not allowing their officials/diplomats from attending the opening ceremony.

Not really. Though if the Conservatives form the next government I definitely expect they won’t send any dignitaries to China for the games.

How can they even send any athletes after saying they think it would be unsafe. I feel if they win the election a full boycott is likely.

Won't be the first time, won't be the last time someone said something is unsafe, but still does it. It's all talk.
