Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
The Canadian government, under British rule, did not have a policy of returning escaped slaves to the United States as slavery was abolished in the British Empire in 1833. Mexico also abolished slavery in 1829 and offered refuge to escaped slaves, not returning them to their former owners.
