Not googling, but going by memory, robin Hood, here is a precis of the story.

When the students attacked the US embassy there were 6 hostages out and about who were smart enough to not go back to the US embassy. One of the Americans knew where one of the Cdn diplomatic staff was renting a house. They went to the house and the Canadians hid them until a journalist from a newspaper in Quebec found out about the 6. They asked him to hold the story, but he only agreed for a couple of days. As Marcos said the Cdn Ambassador, Ken Taylor made the decision to issue the 6 Canadian passports and fly them out of the country (via commercial)immediately.

It was an all Canadian show!
