CALGARY - A move by the governor of Michigan to halt work on a project to replace Enbridge Inc.’s 65-year-old Line 5 pipeline is raising fears that the recently elected Democratic administration could also try to shut down the existing pipeline. Analyst Matthew Taylor of Tudor Pickering Holt & Co. says that could result in crude supply disruptions for refineries in southern Ontario and Quebec and could also reduce oil pipeline takeaway capacity from Western Canada. Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer speaks after being sworn-in as Michigan's 49th governor on the steps of the state Capitol in Lansing, Mich., Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2019. “It’s no surprise that they found a way to pump the brakes on this tunnel proposal,” Taylor said.
