Applying for US ESTA after being denied Candian eTA

As I posted in a related thread: https://forum.unlock.org.uk/Topic32116.aspx#bm34105

2 years ago I applied for a Canadian eTA and it kept getting refused despite my criminal record being something that should have been deemed rehabilitated according to their legislation.
I don't have the will to go through the hassle of applying via an immigration lawyer etc.

My friends from Toronto would be willing to meet me in New York.

I have never applied for an ESTA.

How likely is it that Canada shares eTA refusal information (and the criminal record information I have provided them) with the US?

Should I just chance it and apply for an ESTA without disclosing and then fly via Dublin in order to pass through US immigration closer to home?

Looks like I'm screwed then. Would be good to hear from anyone else who has been in this position.

Does anyone know if Mexico also share info with Canada? Or only with the US? 

You might want to read my thread I made a while back but I was in a similar situation and I faced no issues.

That thread is here.
