TORONTO (AP) — The cases of two Canadian citizens ensnared by tighter U.S. border screenings have so angered the country that the Canadian foreign affairs minister will raise the issue with Secretary ot State Colin Powell during a visit on Thursday. Powell’s visit is to discuss a possible mili tary strike against Iraq. But Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Bill Graham plans to raise the cases of the two Canadians, one involving a man jailed in Maine after crossing the bor der to buy cheaper American gas. The other involves a dual Canadian-Syrian citizen deported to Syria while switching planes at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport after U.S. officials reportedly accused him of links to al-Qaida. Graham has protested that the man should have been deported to Canada. Canada has criticized the U.S. National Security Entry Exit Registration System cre ated after the Sept. 1 1 attacks. It authorizes border officials to fingerprint and photograph people who were bom in or are citizens of the five countries accused by the U.S. govem- Libya, omtsin [ig U.J oncerr ment of having terrorism link> Those countries are Iran, Iraq, Sudan and Syria. Canada even issued a travel advisory warn ing people bom in those countries to avoid trips south of the border. The Americans responded by pi Canadians equal treatment but say security overrode any Canadian < about unfair treatment. Graham rescinded the travel advisory last week, but foreign art airs spokesman Rodney Moore said the “high-profile consular cases” would be discussed with Powell. Michel Jalbert. a 32-year-old French- speaking Quebec resident living near Maine, was arrested Oct. 11 while doing what people in Pohenegam(x>k, Quebec, routinely do — driving a few yards into America to buy gas. The gas station is less than a mile from a U.S. border post on a road primarily used for logging in northern Maine. Residents routine ly buy gas without first registering with U.S. authorities. When Jalbert stopped for gas, he had a hunting rifle in his vehicle that a J attention of a U.S. policeman.A check found a 13-year-old criminal tor vandalism and possessing$to making him inadmissible for entm United States.
