Line 5 FAQs
Yes, Enbridge's Line 5 threatens lands and waters around the Great Lakes, as well as the Great Lakes themselves. Enbridge's Line 5 has already spilled well over 4.5 million litres of oil and Enbridge wants to build a new pipeline tunnel underwater at the Straits of Mackinac. The Great Lakes are the drinking water for 40 million people and home to countless other creatures. We can't trust Enbridge with the future of the Great Lakes.
