This line moves crude and completed products from western Canada, through Superior, Wisconsin, to Sarnia, Canada and then to Michigan.
Get ready to freeze this winter, all you people who voted for these Marxists.

Republicans demand Michigan's Line 5 be kept open to avoid a further rise in energy bills this winter
President Joe Biden's Administration is considering shutting down the Line 5 oil pipeline that links Superior, Wisconsin with Sarnia, Ontario, sources report
A group of Republican lawmakers issued a letter to Biden on Thursday urging him to keep the line in operation
They argued termination would exacerbate fuel shortages and increase prices
The lawmakers cited concerns over energy prices as midwesterners enter into the winter season
However, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm alleged that fuel prices are going to skyrocket this winter anyway
Meanwhile, Michigan's 12 federally recognized tribes also called on Biden last week asking him to move forward with the shutdown
The Biden Administration has yet to make a decision about Line 5's operation

The Biden Administration is considering shutting down a Michigan oil pipeline in another push to get the U.S, away from fossil fuels, despite warnings from Republican lawmakers who believe the move would result in fuel price shocks throughout the Midwest.
The administration is exploring the possibility of terminating the Line 5 pipeline - which links Superior, Wisconsin, with Sarnia, Ontario - and gathering data to determine if shutting down the line will cause a surge in fuel pricing, according to published reports.
In a letter dated Thursday, 13 Congress members - led by Ohio Rep. Bob Latta - urged the president to keep the oil line in operation, saying: 'Line 5 is essential to the lifeblood of the Midwest.'
'Should this pipeline be shut down, tens of thousands of jobs would be lost across Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, and the region; billions of dollars in economic activity would be in jeopardy; and the environment would be at greater risk due to additional trucks operating on roadways and railroads carrying hazardous materials,' the legislators wrote.
'Furthermore, as we enter the winter months and temperatures drop across the Midwest, the termination of Line 5 will undoubtedly further exacerbate shortages and price increases in home heating fuels like natural gas and propane at a time when Americans are already facing rapidly rising energy prices, steep home heating costs, global supply shortages, and skyrocketing gas prices.'
Line 5 is part of a network that moves crude oil and other petroleum products from western Canada to Escanaba, Michigan and transports approximately 540,000 barrels each day.
Biden told the COP26 conference in Glasgow this weekend that the U.S. will become world leaders in the climate change fight. He is fighting to close pipelines, setting up a conflict between Indigenous groups and environmentalists who want to block them and Republicans trying to stop a further spike in energy prices.
He sparked backlash by closing down the Keystone XL Pipeline, costing thousands of American jobs, and has been accused of folding to Russia by allowing Europe's Nord Stream 2 pipeline to remain open.
Gas prices have hit a seven-year high in the U.S., inflation is becoming one of the top concerns of American voters and OPEC has bucked Biden's pleas to increase oil production.
