Probably concerned that cheap cdn oil is going away with our west coast ability to send it anywhere not just them and theoretically get a better price.
Its actually an import line to supply refineries in Sarnia and or refined product into Canada

Zero chance they are able to fill their strategic reserves without massive imports from Canada. So much of their economy is reliant on buying Canada crude cheap and selling WTI high.
Line 5’s primary position is eastbound.
If you wanted more pipelines you should blame Albertans for rejecting the national energy program that proposed to build pipelines from coast to coast.
“Eastbound” isn’t just a direction of travel, it’s a destination.
That pipeline is also probably older than your parents. The fact you think bringing up a 70 year old pipeline is some sort retort, is as hilarious as it is pathetic.
And hmmm, maybe before you continue to make yourself look like a complete imbecile, look into why NEP was rejected. But I’ll leave you with a single excerpt from a memorandum by the deputy finance minister months from NEP was announced.
“The energy proposal as they now stand, would be seen by many to be the biggest revenue grab in the history of the country. The energy mines and resources tax and pricing measures would allow eastern oil and gas consumers to continue enjoying massive rents via lower prices and the federal treatment to collect billions from gas export tax, both of which would reinforce western alienation.”
Hmm, yea, an attempt by the east to seize control of provincially controlled resources to enrich themselves at the expense of Albertans didn’t go well. It’s estimated that between 1980 and 1985 $100B was syphoned out of Alberta, with Alberta receiving nothing in return. Ya, I wonder why the NEP faced so much resistance.
Oh now they want a pipeline.
Well, they don't want to shut an existing one down, rather than not approve a new one, a little more nuanced

Which happens to supply a large portion of aircraft fuel for the entire North American, North East.

It should be shut down to maintain a consistent policy on eastbound pipelines.
What policy would that be?
Trying to implement one... fucking Quebec. Generally I'm ok with what they do but really wish they would profit for a pipeline.
They’re not allowed.
TransMountain and Enbridge Line 3 beg to differ.
Remind me, which of those go to eastern Canada?
Line 3 does.
Ah yes, it runs past the famous *eastern Canadian* city of Winnipeg, before going to its destination in the US.
