Piffle. That is *not* a requirement of the U.S. NEC -- it might be of the CEC,
I don't know, but it's definitely not a requirement here.

There's nothing wrong with running a 3-wire circuit from the panel to a point
some distance away, then splitting it out into two individual circuits that go
in opposite directions.
