Canada is fighting to stop U.S. officials from closing a vital cross-border oil and gas pipeline as a deadline to shut it looms.
The dispute erupted in November, when Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced she was revoking a permit that allows Enbridge Inc.’s Line 5 pipeline to run along the bottom of the Straits of Mackinac, between Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. She gave the company until May 12 to shut the pipeline.
The 645-mile conduit carries more than a half million barrels of oil and natural gas liquids each day from Superior, Wis., to refineries in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Ontario and Quebec.
Canadian officials and Enbridge say closing the pipeline would choke off almost half of the supply used to make gasoline, jet fuel and home-heating oil for Ontario and Quebec, the most populous parts of the country. The closure could lead to higher fuel costs and thousands of job losses in the refineries that process the oil.
Whitmer is wrong… again.
Sounds like Democrats are going to starve America of Oil & Prices SOAR !!!!! Get them OUT of Power NOW !!!
Leftists want to destroy America.
Extortion seems to be a common theme in Democrat politics.
She probably has a huge investment in foreign oil. As many of our so called congressmen and women do along with out senators, etc. It is all about lining their pockets. No interest in working for the people that voted for them.
