RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:ExposedCouldn't find one eh? Good, because I checked first LOL.
Yeah they shut the line off accordoing to Enbridge and they also called them and told them they were doing it so that nothing would be broken by the stress of a valve closing at full capacity and cause an inadvertant leak.
I don't actually blame these people. The sooner that Line 5 is running through a tunnel 100' below the Straits of Mackinac the happier I will be.
The same logic of not going off half-cocked and damaging the environment by protesting applies to Enbridge and everyone else, including me, that want the tunnel built. We have to make sure we are not doing something stupid that will potentially bite us in tha a$$ later.
You know like running a couple of crude oil pipelines directly through a strait that joins two of the largest freshwater lakes in the world. Boy that was dumb. They are not even double walled.
The approval proceess will try to ensure that such a colossal blunder does not happen again for everyone's sake.
Until then:
Go Enbridge! ;-)

And didn't the enviros manage to turn off one of Enbrige's taps not so long ago, and cause a temporary shut down ? If they gained access that easily , they basically could have done whatever they pleased. Thankfully they didn't.

They aren't like your right-to-llifers bombing abortion clinics to save babies.
They are smart educated people and won't hurt their own cause)or the environment) by doing something that stupid.
As a warning you are going to have to show up with a credible source and link to prove your case and not a youtube video like npc or "my friend said", like the bumfischer. Or else you just blowing smoke.
Number 5 is Alive!
Go Enbridge! ;-) "
