Conservative Party Leader Erin O’Toole urged Canada to consider boycotting the 2022 Beijing Olympics on Tuesday, one day after a Chinese court upheld the death penalty for a Canadian man who had been detained.

Robert Schellenberg was sentenced to death late Monday night over a drug smuggling charge handed down in January 2015. He was initially given a 15-year verdict, but it was overturned in January 2019 following a retrial.

“Yes, Canada should be considering a boycott,” O’Toole said.

“I know how hard our athletes are training for Beijing, but we are approaching a point where it won’t be safe for Canadians, including Olympic athletes, to travel to China.”
