Canada's Ground Is Turning Into Soup — And It's Already Too Late

Ajouté : 2026-05-25

[00:00:00]The ground under entire Canadian cities is quietly turning into soup. Nearly half of Canada, 2 million square miles, sits on permafrost, frozen ground that has held up roads, pipelines, airports, and entire towns for centuries. In Dawson City, Yukon, buildings are tilting mid-block. In Inuvik, warehouses are physically sinking into the ground, the airport runway buckling. Road damage alone could hit 200 million a year. The Northwest Territories faces a 1.3 billion repair bill for just 45,000 people. And here's the terrifying part.

[00:00:39]The melting accelerates itself. When permafrost thaws, it releases heat. That heat thaws more permafrost. Some of these communities have already been told the ground is not coming back. Is nearly half of Canada built on frozen ground?

[00:00:56]So, please take answer on this question.

[00:00:57]Thank you so much for watching. Goodbye.

[00:00:58]Take care.
