3 Minute History Canada hits the oil embargo flashpoint.
This week’s episode captures the 1973 Arab oil embargo — prices quadrupled overnight — and the explosive clash between Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau’s price freeze/export tax and Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed’s fierce defence of provincial rights. This is the battle that set the stage for the National Energy Program (NEP).
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.
