Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has now ordered the shutdown of a major gas pipeline run by a Canadian company that runs through the Straits of Mackinac even though a significant gas shortage has crippled many parts of the United States.
Whitmer claimed that the pipeline was a ‘ticking time bomb,’
As The Daily Wire reports:
The Guardian reported that Whitmer told the Canadian company, Enbridge, to shut down the pipeline known as Line 5 by Wednesday due to activist fears that it could spill any day. The pipeline has operated for nearly 67 years and had never had a leak. A different Enbridge pipeline spilled 845,000 gallons of oil into Michigan’s Kalamazoo River back in 2010.
Further, Enbridge has been “working to tunnel beneath the lake bed to further improve the safety of the pipeline,” the Guardian reported, because the pipeline has been hit in the past two years by boat anchors and cables.
“These oil pipelines in the Straits of Mackinac are a ticking timebomb, and their continued presence violates the public trust and poses a grave threat to Michigan’s environment and economy,” Whitmer’s office said in a statement regarding the pipeline.
The Guardian reported that Whitmer campaigned on shutting down this pipeline, and is now pushing for its closure even as the U.S. Department of Transportation issued an emergency declaration for 17 states and the District of Columbia following a cyberattack on the country’s largest pipeline.
It seems that the Democrat obsession with climate change may end up costing Americans more and more as gas prices continue to climb.
She’s a moron that defies any logic. She wouldn’t recognize logical thinking if it smacked her in the face!
look she is a paid off traitor. This cyber attack annd her shutting down this pipeline (and if there was an accident it would be this governors fault because she would have been in on the attack) is the way this was planned. Attack America and have no repercussions.
Shut them down after the fuel shortage is over. Then you slowly blend in other sources while Enbridge makes it’s infrastructure sound again. jwstx
Too logical for the current liberal mindset!
I am sorry shut them down, your right I mean boats are safer right, oh and trucks, and of course thoise methods are less costly too. I think maybe you had better look again at those assumptions.
I don’t think she can shut down a Canadian Pipeline It is an international treaty-type agreement and she shouldn’t have any power to do that. She’s a disgrace to our state!!!!
But, maybe this was something she and Premier Ford cooked up when she illegally visited him across the “closed to all others” border a few weeks ago. Is there money or power in it – then that’s the reason.
Premier Ford;s net worth has mysteriously increased 50Million since Mar 2020 via CHICOM/NWO Bribes. How much has Whitmores net worth increased?
SHE SHOULD HAVE CHARGES PLACED ON HER TO PUT HER IN HER PLACE SHE IS OVER STEPPING HER AUTHORITY
globalists and globalist puppet $oro$ and globalist puppet barry soetoro and his husband big MIKE appointed all the correct criminals to the correct positions to protect all their criminals .
Of course globalist puppet $oro$ orders globalist puppet nitwhit to shutdown the canadian pipeline so that only globalist puppets can sell oil and raise their prices .
They are trying to shut the country down
She’s a Democrap Putz like sleepy Joe Biden!
She is the worst! Condescending corrupt liar! Trying to destroy MI! She will b out in Mi next election. She never fixed one damn road! But she sure fixed the election in MI when she saw Trump won Florida and Ohio! She stinks
Now the democRATS are scraping the bottom of the barrel by USING Michigan’s governer.
She is a straight up demonic Witch and evil in all forms! Time to remove her for gooooood! #RECALLWHITMER #SICKANDTIRED #GODISGOOD #SHALLCOMETOLIGHT #RECALLWICKEDWHITMER #WICKEDWITCHOFMICHIGAN #BURNATTHESTAKE
WHY IS IT THAT THE REPUBLICANS CAN’T SEEM TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE DEMS/FRAUDS!!!!!! THEY BREAK THE LAWS EVERY DAY AND THEY ARE STILL WALKING AROUND CAUSING TROUBLE??????

How can 1 Governor shut down any Pipeline ?
The Pipeline is a ticking time bomb?
In Truth Whitmore is an active carpet bomb
Soros needs to be deported !!!
That is not enough to stop him……
She is out of her mind
COMMUNISM WILL NOT SUCCEED IN AMERICA!
NO WAY IN HELL!!!
If everybody felt that way, America would be a great Country again!! There are too many people getting Government money now! Just wait till they institute guaranteed income….
Here is what I didn’t hear from the flapping lips of Governor Whitmer. One iota of evidence that the pipeline is about to fail or that proper maintenance and upgrades are not being done. In fact, The Guardian provided substantial evidence that the latter is being done.
OME STUPID ” B _ _ _ H HERE ON CLOSING OFF THIS LINE WHICH CAN CAUSE A SHORTAGE IN THE MID WEST AREA AND NORTH AREA!
Wretched Gretchen is Princess of Bazarro World
To para quote the goofy redhead “that is not in her purview”.
I hope there is a massive class action lawsuit against her, personally, for making gas too expensive for the average working folks.
So in short….she has no intention of allowing people in her state any freedom. She will decide if you have fuel in your car, food on your table, etc. How long before you get rid of that crazy thing
No one can stop her………
It is long past time that Michiganders get rid of this power-mad lunatic, Whitmer. All those that voted for her should be checked by psychologists to determine their sanity. Wake up, Michigan!!
Michigan governor is in way over her head. I hope the Canadian gas company Sues her and Biden for a breach of contract and international treaty. Michigan let’s remove this disgrace from office ASAP
why she has not been recalled ,is be on belief, the women is power crazy and there is no stopping ,with out a recall. she and people like her is one reason I moved out of Michigan, they just drive the retiree’s out of the state with high tax’s and poor management .
Why do they put up with her?
Democrats and the liberals that support them have NO common sense at all. They are truly the enemy within and I’m not sure they even know it. That is why they are so dangerous. The democrat leadership on the other hand does know what they are doing. Their intention and plan is to destroy our country beyond repair as quickly as they can before the liberals wake up to what they are doing and vote them out.
Follow the money $$$$$ and you will find the guilty parties. If she shuts down the pipeline you bet someone, somewhere will profit from it.
I love the state…. I dislike almost every governor we have had for the past 20 years… especially witchmer… See what happened with our last female condemned-o-crat governor granholm? now working for obiden….
