An employee walks beside snow-making machines for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Zhangjiakou, China, last month. In February, Green Party Leader Annamie Paul and several Green MPs also called for Canada to support moving the 2022 Beijing Games and even suggested Canada could host. Calls for boycotting Olympic Games are nothing new, including for Beijing, which also faced boycott calls ahead of the 2008 Summer Games. "I don't think the IOC will let it happen, I don't think the Beijing Olympic organizers will let it happen and I don't think the Canadian Olympic Committee will let it happen," Field told CBC News. Visitors are seen near a skating-themed sculpture late last month outside the headquarters of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games.
