No, they mean we actually clear US customs in Canada as non-US citizens.

That's what I thought until they mentioned Dublin etc., what does US customs have to do with those in the first place?

The portion of Dublin airport that has flights to the US is officially American soil. You deal with customs in Dublin airport, and then arrive to a domestic terminal at your US destination. It's very helpful.

But irrelevant in terms of where you might go on holiday from Canada?

I was pointing out the convenience of the process that may cause Canadians to enjoy flying to the US on holiday.

If you fly from London to Manchester, what happens when the plane lands? You get up and walk away, right? If you fly from London to Dubai, wouldn’t it be nice if you could just get up and walk away once the plane lands? Aren’t you tired of waiting in lines and ready to just fall into your hotel bed? Canadians can do that if they are flying to Miami or Los Angeles, but not Cabo San Lucas.

You could do this too if you flew from Dublin to New York, but not if you chose London to New York or Paris to New York.
