Canada has filed a legal brief in United States federal court siding with an oil pipeline company against Michigan, even going so far as to invoke the memory of 9/11 as a reminder of how the two countries have worked together in the past.
Michigan, which has ordered Line 5 to shut down by May 12, is seeking to defend its waterways from the risk of an oil spill. In an amicus brief filed Tuesday, the federal government argued the looming threat of a shutdown “poses grave concerns” for Canada’s economy and for the country’s relationship with the U.S.

Grand Council Chief Glen Hare
Anishinabek Nation Grand Council Chief Glen Hare shares his statement following the guilty verdict determined earlier today for the manslaughter charge in the killing of Barbara Kentner, a First Nation woman residing in Thunder Bay, Ont., in 2017.
“While this verdict will never bring back Barbara, and may not bring much comfort for all those who continue to be deeply impacted by her loss, this guilty verdict is recognizing that she lost her life at the hands of racism,” states Grand Council Chief Glen Hare. “This verdict is a small glimmer of hope that if we all continue to seek justice for these inhumane, undignified acts of violence rooted in racism in a united effort with our brothers, sisters and allies across Turtle Island, that one day they may come to an end and our next seven generations will live in a safer world.”
