Ah shit
Ok, there's one other option you might have. My friend once lost his passport about 4 days before he had to go to Cayman Islands and he couldn't get a replacement in time since he's not from Canada. What he did was contacted the police HQ in your city and ask for their (I think) immigration clearance department/officer. Essentially what they do for a fee (no clue how much) is look thru your photo ID's, SIN, drivers license, etc... and check your criminal record and run it for security checks. Assuming she has no criminal record, the police department will issue a certificate that states that your not a security risk and have cleared Canadian security checks. It might not be enough but this is one step closer to what US Immigration is looking for.

But in all due honesty, I would say your friend is screwed until monday at the least. I hope you have a late night flight where immigration lines are short, otherwise the officer will reject you and kick you out right away.
