Looks like the Canadians aren't exactly proud of one athlete of theirs. After posting a selfie of Canadian speedskater Brittany Schussler with Russian President Vladimir Putin, with the caption "I should've asked him to be my Valentine," she suddenly found herself the target of hatred from her fellow Canadians and other people around the world.

Some comments are:
@WinnipegNews I see you put up my tweet pic w/ Putin. To be clear I was joking + in no way want to be misconstrued as supporting his values

@bschussler
@WinnipegNews I find hanging out with dictators who persecute lgbt folk hilarious! You owe so many an apology. Get informed

@bschussler
@WinnipegNews your joke was in poor taste & disrespectful of all the lives lost & continued intolerance because of Putin. Shame.

@bschussler
@WinnipegNews horrified to see Canadian athletes gushing about Putin. Ashamed to be Canadian. time to stop funding Olympics
