Question

Why didn't Canadian prime minister Stephan Harper go to the 2008 Beijing olympics?

Answer 1

Because he's an *** and has made an *** of himself with China and has severely damaged trade relations between China and Canada.

Average people in tibet suffered as any people do when the country is controlled by a religious faction that has all the wealth and power. Women have historically been exploited by Tibetan monks, who purchased women as concubines, and forced the Nuns to work as their servants.  There were many complaints of young women being forced to "service" the monks who do not take a vow of chastitiy and poor people were obligated to feed them as well -

DONT believe the propogana you here the way that total *** Harper does ! What an embarassment to Canada he has been - I believe he has had to apologize to a lot of countries for his stupid uneducated remarks about other countries

Relations between the prime minister, who has yet to visit China, and Chinese President Hu Jintao have been tense ever since Harper said he would not sacrifice human rights for contracts with China.
