L’Essentiel: The Week In Review – May 14, 2021
Our panel of journalists Catherine Lévesque (The Canadian Press), Althia Raj and Konrad Yakabuski (Le Devoir) discusses the reform of Bill 101 tabled in the National Assembly in Quebec, of the Ethics Commissioner who whitewashed the first Minister Justin Trudeau in the WE Charity affair, unlike his former finance minister, Bill Morneau and the decision of a majority of provinces to stop administering the AstraZeneca vaccine in the first dose.
Mediation is ongoing between the State of Michigan and the Enbridge oil company over the possible closure of Line 5 of the pipeline.

Negotiations Continue on the Line 5 Pipeline File – May 12, 2021
Mediation is ongoing between the State of Michigan and the Enbridge oil company over the possible closure of the Line 5 pipeline. Ottawa has decided to play the legal card, presenting Tuesday a brief in a US federal court to prevent the closure, which would result in the possible loss of thousands of jobs in Canada. Meanwhile, the Governor of Michigan is threatening to seize Enbridge’s profits from the operation of the pipeline. We take stock with Carol Montreuil, vice-president of the Canadian Fuels Association.

Does Bill C-10, which seeks to subject YouTube and Facebook to the same rules as traditional broadcasters, promote censorship, as the Conservatives say? We debate it with political observers Sheila Copps (LIB), Marc-André Leclerc (CPC), Farouk Karim (NDP) and Richard Nadeau (BQ).

OTTAWA A Canadian company on Wednesday defied an order to shut down an oil and gas pipeline that passes through Michigan, flouting a directive from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in a contest of wills that threatens to aggravate U.S.-Canada relations.
Ms. Whitmer in November canceled the pipeline’s legal permission to cross the Straits of Mackinac, the narrow, heavily trafficked waterway that separates Michigan’s upper and lower peninsulas, and links Lake Michigan to Lake Huron.
