The scare quotes here are completely unnecessary and inappropriate. A formal extradition request was made by the US government and Canada was treaty-bound to follow it.
There were formal fraud charges against Meng Wanzhou filed in the US and since there is equivalence in Canadian law (often a prerequisite for extradition), there was no legal reason not to proceed. There was no '"asking"' involved.
