Canada's embassy in Washington says it is 'extremely concerned' about the fate of the Line 5 cross-border pipeline. A court hearing Thursday in Wisconsin could determine whether the pipeline, owned and operated by Enbridge Inc., is allowed to continue operating.

A judge in Wisconsin is ordering Enbridge and an Indigenous band to confer about "imperfect" alternatives to a "draconian" shutdown of the cross-border pipeline.THE CANADIAN PRESS/AP-John FlesherCanada's embassy in Washington says it is "extremely concerned" about the fate of the Line 5 cross-border pipeline.
The Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa says spring flooding has heightened the risk of a rupture and it wants a federal judge to shut the line down. The Indigenous band fears a rupture would foul not only a key watershed on its territory, but also the waters of Lake Superior. "Canada invoked the treaty's dispute settlement provisions because actions to close Line 5 represent a violation of Canada's rights under the treaty to an uninterrupted flow of hydrocarbons in transit," the embassy said.
The band has been in court with Enbridge since 2019 in an effort to compel the pipeline's owner and operator to reroute Line 5 around its traditional territory -- something the company has already agreed to do. At four locations, the river was less than 4.6 metres from the pipeline -- just 3.4 metres in one particular spot -- and the erosion has continued in recent days at an "alarming" rate, the motion said.
