I read those posts previously, but thank you. I assume that there was some problem. I have not been told anything officially. However, as a general rule, the regulations of the jurisdiction where the swim took place apply. The Canadian Nationals were a FINA meet held under the rules of the jurisdiction where the meet took place. The USMS rules could not apply. The meet was accredited and the swims were legal. I am sure the distance was correct.
Officially I have not heard anything, I think that if the swim was legal and the jurisdiction caccepts the swim thenUSMS should accept it. Unless there was some fraud or competitive advantage associated with the circumstances of the swim. If the pool was short of course the swim should not count, but no one is saying that. I do not blame the Canadians. I guess I will wait to hear the "official" version of the story. I will post whatever story they give me.
