13 British Columbia Border Towns With SECRETS Locals Won't Talk About

Thirteen towns sit along the British Columbia border, and most of them have a story someone would rather you didn't hear. Some of the stories are about a failed plan to drain a lake, a pig that started an international standoff, and a monument with relics sealed inside it. Others are about a smelter that helped build the atomic bomb, a rum runner's cable down a cliff, and an American town that runs on Canadian time. By the end, you'll know what happened in each place, why it was hidden or forgotten, and how the border shaped daily life there. The video is honest about what's left to see, too, since some sites are little more than empty buildings or a painted rock.
