Michigan has dropped a lawsuit in federal court that threatened Enbridge’s Line 5 pipeline — which carries about half of Ontario and Quebec’s petroleum.

While it may seem like an early Christmas gift from Michigan’s Governor Gretchen Whitmer, it’s more likely she saw the writing on the wall.

Our Modern Miracle Network and many other experts had long warned about the pipeline’s significance to Canada’s energy security. When the threats to shut down Line 5 were imminent last spring, union leaders, politicians of all stripes, and finally the federal government joined in the chorus in a rare act of non-partisan unity. Usually not supportive of pipelines, the Liberals even invoked a 1977 treaty to protect Line 5.


Yet Michigan’s governor trudged on in federal court — until things changed in the last few months.

The world is once again facing a severe energy crisis. Images of freezing families and empty supermarket shelves from around the globe showed what the impact on society could be. And it reminded those of us old enough to remember of the 1970s when North America last faced similar challenges. Maybe Whitmer and her cohort of environmentalists are lucky enough to be too young to remember — but it left a mark on us who lived through it.
