"What about the freedom to carry from one country not yours to another not yours.( US Airline carrying pax from let's say Mex to Canada )"

If you look at the schedules there are no US airlines going from Mexico to Canada directly.

The companies fly Mexico so somewhere in the states and then to Canada. That is not Cabotage, it goes under the earlier freedoms, i.e., enplane pax in Mexico -- US Leg -- deplane pax in Canada.
