The Great Line 5 Debate: Potential Environmental and Economic Impacts

Publish Date: Wednesday, March 10, 2021

BACKGROUND
Line 5 is a pipeline system carrying both oil and propane from Canada, across Michigan’s upper and lower peninsulas to Sarnia, Ontario. The pipeline crosses the Straits of Mackinac, leading to concerns about a potential oil spill from the 65-year-old pipeline. Shutting down the pipeline could have significant economic and environmental impacts in Canada and parts of the United States. This international panel brings together diverse voices to address the concerns on both sides of the border related to Line 5, as well as a potential diplomatic resolution as both countries commit to green-energy strategies.
