For the second time in a year, the federal government is invoking a little\u002Dknown 1977 energy treaty between Canada and the United States.
That impact would include a spike in energy prices, including the propane that’s used to heat homes across much of the U.S. Midwest, as well as gasoline prices, which tested new highs across the continent throughout much of an inflation-ravaged summer.
Legal disputes over Line 5 have been developing in both states since at least 2019, but took on fresh urgency in the fall of 2020 when Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer tried to revoke the 1953 easement that allowed the pipeline to cross the Great Lakes. The band has been in court with Enbridge for more than three years, arguing that the Calgary-based company is trespassing, having allegedly violated the terms of the easements that allowed the pipeline to traverse the reservation beginning in 1953.Article content
“In the forthcoming negotiations with the United States under the treaty, Canada is committed to working constructively to find a solution that responds to the interests of communities, respects Canada’s rights under the treaty and ensures the continued and safe supply of energy to Central Canada.” Allies have argued, both in court filings as well as public forums, that Line 5 is a vital source of energy — especially propane — for several Midwestern states, and an essential source for Canadian refineries that fuel some of Canada’s busiest airports.
