Canada Prefers Taiwan Status in Olympic Entry Policy
Prime Minister Trudeau and MacEachen told IOC head that Canada rejects demands to bar Taiwanese athletes. They insist competitors enter as Taiwanese, not Republic of China, and urge IOC parity with Italy in 1960. Killanin refused to commit, accusing Canada of IOC rule violations. Trudeau's stance drew Conservative jeers as Killanin arrived in Montreal seeking a resolution.
