AG Dana Nessel Calls on Biden to Shut Down Michigan Pipeline amid Soaring Gas Prices

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel (D) wants the Biden administration to intervene in the dispute over the state’s Line 5 oil pipeline and shut it down because keeping the pipeline open could result in an oil spill, Nessel says.

Nessel told the Royal Oak Area Democratic Club during its March monthly meeting that the Department of Transportation, led by Secretary Pete Buttigieg, has jurisdiction over federal pipeline regulations and could therefore use its authority to close Line 5, according to a video of Nessel’s remarks to the club, which the conservative group Michigan Rising first provided to Breitbart News.

Nessel said, “I do wish that the Biden administration would be even a fraction as vocal about the importance of shutting down Line 5 as Justin Trudeau and his government have been about, you know, maintaining a pipeline that has outlasted its lifespan by, you know, two times.”

The Line 5 pipeline, which has operated for more than 60 years, runs from Superior, Wisconsin, to Sarnia, Canada. For a small stretch in Michigan’s Straits of Mackinac, which connects two of the Great Lakes, the pipeline separates into two pipelines, which sit at the bottom of the water.

Nessel contended that if Line 5 were shut down, “We know that the impact on gas prices in the state of Michigan would be incredibly minimal.” Nessel added that “the thing that would affect gas prices,” which are currently at record highs, is a rupture in the pipeline that results in what she said would be a multibillion-dollar cleanup response.

Nessel and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) sued to shut down Line 5 in 2020, but Enbridge, the company that owns the pipeline, has fought back with its own legal arguments, according to the Engineering News-Record. The magazine detailed that Enbridge has proposed a solution to create a tunnel for the Straits of Mackinac portion of Line 5 to remove the threat of oil spillage into the Great Lakes.

Nessel’s comments come after President Joe Biden began his presidency by declaring in no uncertain terms a “climate crisis,” halting new oil and natural gas leases on public lands and revoking a critical permit for the Keystone XL pipeline project. Environmentalists applauded the pipeline project death blow at the time, claiming the pipeline would have moved “dirty energy” from Canada to the U.S. The same groups have continued to push for Line 5 to see a similar fate.

Nessel echoed to the local Democrat club the same messaging as the Biden administration as she advocated for ending Line 5, saying, “The Trudeau administration has been very vocal about wanting to make sure that that they can provide as much, you know, dirty oil to Canadian citizens as possible, because that’s who Line 5 benefits, not us here in Michigan.”

She added, “It benefits the Canadians.”

Canada bans RT

Canadian regulator has forbidden TV providers to carry RT or RT France, after complaints from ethnic Ukrainians

Media regulators in Ottawa have formally outlawed RT and RT France on Wednesday, saying their programming went against government policy and undermined democracy.

After reviewing complaints from the public, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) announced that “the continued authorization to distribute RT and RT France is not in the public interest.”

Most Canadian operators have already pulled the networks off air, citing the conflict in Ukraine.

“RT’s programming is not consistent with the standards against which Canadian services are measured nor the policy objectives set out in the Broadcasting Act,” the regulator said, adding it was “also concerned with programming from a foreign country that seeks to undermine the sovereignty of another country, demean Canadians of a particular ethnic background and undermine democratic institutions within Canada.”

This appeared to be a reference to the ethnic Ukrainians who filed complaints with the regulator. According to Canadian state network CBC, one of the people who called for the ban was Jason Woycheshyn, president of the Ukrainian Canadian Bar Association. He argued there was “no need [for] or interest” in Russian propaganda in Canada, and sought to ban RT and “any other state-sponsored propaganda media Russia is currently promoting” from TV, radio, internet or any other means of broadcasting.

CRTC's decision comes a day after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the Canadian lawmakers, asking them to support the government in Kiev.

Over 1.3 million Canadians claim at least some Ukrainian descent, compared to just over 600,000 with Russian heritage.

“Freedom of speech and a range of perspectives are a necessary part of our democracy. However, it is a privilege and not a right to be broadcast in Canada," CRTC head Ian Scott said in a statement on Wednesday.

Three major Canadian TV providers – Rogers, Bell and Shaw – announced they were dropping RT on February 27, with Shaw promising its clients a credit on the next bill. After Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he would ask the CRTC to look into a ban, Access Communications did so as well.

Trudeau claimed there was “a significant amount of disinformation circulating from Russia, including on social media, and we all need to keep calling it out.”

While RT international continues to broadcast, RT France stopped operations on March 3, after the EU banned RT and Sputnik as “Russian propaganda” over Moscow’s decision to send troops into Ukraine.

Commenting on the UK regulator’s probe of RT in early March, the network’s deputy editor in chief Anna Belkina pointed out that the “supposedly free media environment” of the West apparently will not tolerate any Russian voices, or even just a different perspective.

“This collective Western establishment seems to be terrified of a mere presence of any outside voice for the fear of losing their historically captive audience, if that audience encounters a different perspective,” Belkina said.
