NEW EPISODE #7 – WATCH: 3 MINUTE HISTORY CANADA – The Oil Policy That Split Canada in Two

3 Minute History Canada continues its must-watch energy history series.

This week’s episode explains the 1961 National Oil Policy — the clever (and controversial) compromise that revived the Borden Line: Alberta crude for the West, cheaper imports for the East. It boosted growth but left Canada vulnerable when the 1973 crisis hit.

Created by historian and energy analyst Tammy Nemeth, each three-minute episode blends vivid storytelling, rare visuals, and the real human grit behind the headlines.
