A good article about Enbridge’s use of eminent domain in this morning’s Battle Creek Enquirer. Landowner Barbara Atkin speaks for many others:

“Whatever they say goes. I understand we need oil. But we could have been treated better. If they just would have looked us in the eye and said, ‘We know this must be devastating for you, but we we really need to do this and this what we’re going to do for you.’ Instead, we just got threats of, ‘Well, I guess we’ll see in you in court.’”
