You would think the Canadians would have to have a reason to arrest someone...

Um, that's pretty much the point of an extradition treaty. We want to arrest someone who's in your country, so if you do it and send him to us, we'll do the same for you.

Extradition treaties are not a total turnover of a nations arrest powers.

There has to be a real charge. Of course, an arrest may be made, and then extradition argued over, which is likely in this case.
