District Court Judge William Conley sided with the Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Chippewa in his ruling, issued late Wednesday, ordering Enbridge to reroute the pipeline around the band’s territory within five years, an effort Enbridge has said is already underway.

Joly said shutting down the pipeline would impact energy prices, including propane used for heating homes and the price of gas at the pump. It’s estimated Line 5 provides half the oil and propane used in Ontario and the U.S Midwest. Ottawa has twice now formally invoked the 1977 Transit Pipelines Treaty to trigger a dispute settlement process with Washington over Line 5. Last October, the government invoked the treaty following Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s attempts to shut the line down over concerns about a potential oil spill.
