More than 5,000 individuals and 300 organizations have called on the Canadian government to stop engaging in diplomatic shenanigans that interfere with tribal, state and federal actions in the U.S. against Line 5.

Scientists say global heating is driving ice loss and warmer water, as ice cover falls short of the 50-year average of 18 per cent.

The federal government has committed $420 million over 10 years to protect the Great Lakes, which hold 84 per cent of North America’s surface freshwater and face a litany of threats.

After days of shooting down unidentified “objects,” fighter jets from Canada and the United States were scrambled on Monday, February 14, 2023, night to intercept four Russian military aircraft as they buzzed North American airspace.

The unidentified flying object shot down over Yukon this weekend will undoubtedly be one of the main topics of discussion between Yukon Premier Ranj Pillai and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as the two meet in Whitehorse for previously scheduled talks.

When a non-Indigenous author discovered her family had an uncomfortable historic connection to a First Nation community, her revelation resulted in the publication of a unique book.

The international dispute over Line 5 belongs in federal court, a Michigan judge declared on Thursday, August 18, 2022, dealing a critical blow to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's bid to shut down the controversial cross-border oil and gas pipeline.

Canada has a goal to protect 25 per cent of its land and freshwater by 2025, and Nature Canada says the Great Lakes need to be included in this.

Attorney General Dana Nessel and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer were dealt a setback last November when District Court Judge Janet Neff granted Enbridge's request that the case be removed to federal court, a decision that prompted Michigan to abandon that particular challenge. 

The pipeline will have to prepare an environmental impact statement for the first time ever.

The Straits of Mackinac, a “sacred wellspring of Anishinaabe life and culture,” is part of an area ceded to the U.S. in 1836 only upon assurances that the right to hunt, fish and gather would be protected, tribal governments say.

Enbridge calls Line 5 “as good as new” and says it can last “forever,” even though the pipeline has failed at least 33 times since 1968, spilling more than 1.1 million gallons of oil in Michigan and Wisconsin, write Maude Barlow and Jim Olson.

The federal government has launched a new initiative aimed at finding long-term solutions for the growing quantity of radioactive waste produced by Canada's nuclear reactors.

A politically fraught plan to store hazardous nuclear waste deep underground near the Lake Huron shoreline has been formally put to rest more than 15 years after it was first proposed.

Alberta-based Enbridge says it has reopened a branch of pipeline beneath the water separating two Great Lakes after an inspection revealed no damage, but another parallel branch of the line remains closed due to shifting observed in its anchor assembly.
