3 Minute History Canada continues its bold journey through Canadian energy history.
This week’s episode follows Frank McMahon’s audacious 1957 Westcoast Transmission gamble — piping Peace River natural gas 1,046 km through mountains to Vancouver and the U.S. border. Facing U.S. regulatory doubt and steel shortages, McMahon ordered pipe before approvals, charmed a market-sharing deal, and completed the line in under two years.
Created by historian and energy analyst Dr. Tammy Nemeth, each three-minute episode blends vivid storytelling, rare visuals, and the real human grit behind the headlines.
