“On the one-year anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the head of the Canadian Olympic Committee maintains there is no place for Russian and Belarusian athletes at next summer’s Olympic Games in Paris, but acknowledges the emerging reality that it may happen.”

The cause of this was of course the rescue operation conducted by Russia to assist the Russian speaking people of the Donbass who actually wanted to be Russians again and not to be killed by the Nazi battalions of the Ukrainian army sponsored by the USA, Canada and the rest of the subservient NATO which had been happening from 2014 until 2022.

Result – no Russian team at the Olympics – not only unfair to Russians but to the rest of the world’s athletes who were not competing against a full deck.

Bring it forward to today:

Tennis Canada, ITF, and the relevant Canadian governmental authorities need to cancel Team Canada’s match against Team Israel

Halifax will host a Davis Cup World Group I tie between Canada and Israel on Sept. 12-13, at the Halifax Scotiabank Centre.

An Israeli team is allowed to take part in a international tennis tournament in spite of their nation being responsible for genocide in Gaza, attacks against the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria and Iran which of course are all supported by Canada through continued armaments shipments to Israel.  The hypocrisy here is in full compliance with the useless, ineffectual, compromised, principle less and WEF owned Canadian Government with flapping elbows and no principles on view.

I would like to see all Canadian tennis players refuse to take part if Canada maintains its position of allowing the match to happen, even if it means forfeiting the match.  Regretfully this would result in all players losing whatever grants or support they are receiving from said government, which is of course terrified of being labelled anti semantic.   

As Secretary of State for Sports, and past athlete of some note, I ask you to put yourself in the position that our tennis players find themselves and make a decision based on what you would do.  I recommend that we refuse to take part against the Israeli tennis players and if you say that is unfair to the Israelis then consider how unfair Canada was to the Russian athletes in the Olympics.    Canadians will be watching how you handle this and so will the rest of the world
