I should clarify this further, that was in regards to Syria, while Arar was still in US custody

The RCMP’s third communication of note with American authorities during
Mr. Arar’s detention in New York actually involved two phone calls between
Corporal Rick Flewelling of CID and an FBI agent, the first on October 4 and
the second on October 5. During the second call, the FBI agent said that the
United States did not have enough information to charge Mr. Arar and was looking
to remove him. He indicated that Mr. Arar had asked to be sent to Canada,
and Washington wanted to know whether the RCMP could charge him or refuse
him entry to Canada. The corporal responded that there was not enough evidence
to charge Mr. Arar in Canada and that it was likely that he could not be
refused entry to Canada.

So basically hairball, you have no basis for your claims do you?
