Adventures in Expatriate Refugee Stateless Status

***
Got into Canada's Alberta border, yet was held up by Customs' and sent back to the USA, in spite of numerous citizenship renunciations...
****
Renounced citizenship to a Customs agent at the Alberta Coutts Port of Entry office, and after hours of deliberation and a lobby wait, was told to loop back around via the highway to the US side, while the Customs agent retained my old Indiana license and Nebraska State ID (she promised to return my IDs to my possession after I looped around to the US side)...
...
Well...while driving the Coutts Canadian highway, the first turnaround was not obviously labeled, so I eventually rode past the "ALBERTA" welcome sign, OFFICIALLY INTO CANADA...noticed a Weigh Station with Police vehicles and instead of inciting a police chase towards Calgary, stopped at the Weigh Station...walked into the building and verbally renounced US citizenship to the Canadian Officer and mentioned that a Customs Agent told me to loop back around to the US side...was then told how to get back to the US side...

YET still no word on when a US Consulate will assist with renunciation of US citizenship...
