Construction of the U.S. portion of its Line 3 oil pipeline will cost $1.1 billion more than expected due to regulatory and court delays in Minnesota, but the CEO of Enbridge Inc. says the project is on track to start delivering "lots of free cash flow" by late this year.

Police and bounty hunters sued after raiding wrong home
“If bail bondsman are allowed to do what our local police department can not do and that is to enter a house without a warrant…from what I’m being told, it could be any house.”
Recorded on video holding an innocent family at gunpoint and raiding their home without a search warrant, at least two Pennsylvania bounty hunters along with New York police officers have recently been sued by the family for violating their civil rights.
Last month, Jake Reinhardt was asleep with his fiancée and their three-year-old daughter when an unidentified bounty hunter repeatedly banged on his front door while ordering him to open the door before they “kick it in.” Peering through his window, Reinhardt saw two armed men standing next to a couple of Buffalo police officers on his front lawn.

CALGARY Less than a month after U.S. President Joe Biden nixed the Keystone XL pipeline as part of a sweeping climate plan, another pipeline with implications for Canada is in the crosshairs of a U.S. politician.
However, as talk surrounding the potential shutdown of Enbridge Inc.’s Line 5 intensifies on both sides of the border, shippers are confident that the oil will continue to flow, even as they make contingency plans.
Enbridge Inc.’s Line 5 moves about 87 million litres of oil and natural gas liquids daily from Wisconsin to Sarnia, Ont., passing through parts of Michigan’s upper and lower peninsulas. Enbridge says it supplies 53 per cent of Ontario’s crude oil needs and more than half of Michigan’s propane for home heating.

Serving foreign corporate defendants with a complaint filed in a U.S. Federal Court has never been an easy task, but the COVID-19 global pandemic and regional shut-down orders have made finding someone to physically serve with process nearly impossible in many locations. Contrary to conventional wisdom, one district court recently made it clear that The Hague Convention is not the only means for effectively serving foreign defendants. Where not expressly prohibited, courts may grant leave to serve foreign defendants by email under certain circumstances.
In
Group One Ltd v. GTE GmbH et al., Case No. 20-CV-2205 (Feb. 3. 2021 E.D.N.Y), the court reaffirmed prior decisions from the district courts in the Second Circuit that the Hague Convention is not the only means, let alone the most preferable means, for serving a foreign defendant with a lawsuit pending in U.S. Federal Court.
