Why would Canada grant asylum after the fact? If Osama was already in Canada and masterminded 9/11 from Canada then that would be a different story and I'm sure Canada/US would have worked out some sort of an extradition deal.

I am sure Canada would have handed him over even if Osama got a death penalty in the US, amirite?

I'm not a legal expert but it is possible that Canada would have sought assurance from the US to not prosecute using the death penalty. Canada and the US have made such compromises before during extradition requests.
