The Lead
The dispute over Enbridge’s Line 5 pipeline is entirely Michigan’s prerogative to deal with, according to a legal brief released by the state’s attorney general on Wednesday. Attorney General Dana Nessel rejected Canada’s depiction of a foreign-policy matter that Ottawa and the White House must resolve bilaterally.
She excoriated Enbridge’s arguments as “meritless” and “baseless,” and waved away the submissions of the federal Liberal government, neighbouring states and various industry stakeholders as little more than policy-based window-dressing.
Enbridge is trying to convince Michigan court Judge Janet Neff that the case needs to be heard by a federal judge because it raises “substantial federal questions” about Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s effort to shut down the line for fear of an environmental disaster in the Great Lakes.
