The pointr is, he was not extradited from Canada, he was denied entry into Canada by the Canadians.

Theres no evidence of that, he was taken from JFK to Syria, if the Canadian government denied him entry he would have be sitting in Pearson, or Trudeau airport, not in a Syrian Jail. Further, since he is a Canadian citizen he cannot be denied entry so he wouldn't be there for very long. Further if sent back to where he had just come from, Zurich, as the Canadian Authorities expected he would again, not be subject to harm. From the Arar Commission's report

At the time, the Canadian officers believed Mr. Arar would be denied entry to the United States and promptly sent back to Zurich. There was a legitimate investigative reason for sending the questions, as Mr. Arar was a person of interest in the Project’s investigation and might have information as a witness that would further the investigation. Moreover, the Project members believed that the American authorities would extend a person in Mr. Arar’s position similar protection to that provided by Canadian law.

So don't give me this crock that the US had to send him to syria and that the us had no idea that he was going to be tortured. The FBI knew
damn well and thats why they sent him there. Its conspiracy to torture, its kidnapping, and its a felony offense. The FBI agents involved should go to jail.
There is a claim that CSIS said they didn't want his return, but quite frankly not only does CSIS not have the power to make that call there is no evidence of who said that. So we can take that as a load too...
