I know of someone who fled Canada to avoid going to prison for defrauding the federal government in Manitoba. This was over twenty years ago but I'm told there is no statute of limitations for a crime of this nature. My question is: how would I go about getting a record of the charges (I am in the U.S.) and why wouldn't the Canadian Government come and take responsibility for "their" criminal instead of leaving him in the U.S. to commit more crimes if they knew where to come and get him?

Could be the Canadian government doesn't know where he is; some people have the ability to affortlessly disappear off the face of the earth if they don't want to be caught. How do you know he is still in the U.S? Even if they know where he is they can't just come to the U.S. and grab him and bring him back he has to be extridited legally.

If you know him and know where he is, and if there is a warrant on him that you know of, why don't you inform the authorities.

I did contact the Canadian Officials but they say if he's in the U.S. he is now "our" problem. I know where he is because he faces theft charges here in Texas. The story was on the CBS channel 11 news last Saturday. Here is the link to the newscast
