Canada and Enbridge have been waging a major campaign in the US to keep Line 5 from being shut down. Hear from a Canadian who says his country and the company have hurt themselves with their virulent rhetoric and negative behavior!
UPEC'S speaker, Gerald Kruk, is a resident of Calgary, Alberta, home of Enbridge, the owner of Line 5. In a recent editorial, Mr. Kruk, who is a professional in the petroleum industry, brought to the fore the basic problem with Enbridge: lack of trust and loss of reputation. The rapid expansion of pipelines during the last dozen years led to localized opposition, later joined by national-scale climate-change activists. In the case of Enbridge, it was the pipeline rupture on the Kalamazoo River in 2010 that fully exposed its complacency about safety.
Gerald Kruk worked as a corporate manager and independent consultant in Canada’s petroleum and pipeline industries from 1974 to 2015. He is now a researcher and writer on pipeline issues.
