A new YouTube series is making Canada’s energy past quick, compelling, and impossible to ignore.
3 Minute History Canada launches with fast-paced, three-minute videos that bring pivotal moments to life — starting with the one that started it all.
This week’s exclusive episode drops you right into the bitter Alberta winter of February 1947. After 133 straight dry holes, Imperial Oil’s Leduc No. 1 roared to life in front of 500 freezing spectators. Geologist Steve Cosburn spotted the signs, “Dry Hole” Hunter pushed the crew through, and the towering flare lit up the sky — igniting Alberta’s modern oil boom and turning Canada into an energy powerhouse.
Created by historian and energy analyst Dr. Tammy Nemeth, each episode blends vivid storytelling, rare visuals, and the real human grit behind the headlines. Whether you’re in the energy sector, a history buff, or just curious how we got here, these short videos deliver the context you didn’t know you needed — in the time it takes to drink a coffee.
