Venezuela says Canada is blocking its citizens living there from voting in the South American nation's weekend presidential election. President Nicolas Maduro seeks a second term in Sunday's election, which Canada, the U.S. and others reject as illegitimate. Arreaza says Canada won't allow voting to take place inside the Venezuelan Embassy and consulates. The officials say Venezuela also missed a deadline for asking toopen the polling places. Officials say more than 5,000 Venezuelans live in Canada.
