Good Song - Anthem Video For the Ft. McMurray fire

[StrandedonEarth]

Some of you may have heard of the wildfire that forced the evacuation of the entire population of 80,000 people from Ft. McMurray, Alberta, Canada. Musician Neil Allen from Alberta made this Alberta anthem, as a tribute to the firefighters who saved 80% of the city ("only" 2500 structures burned) and as a fundraiser for the disaster relief fund.

Shouldn't the UN be suing Canada for this fire? All the damage to the environment, the wildlife, the CO2 and ash released, being ill prepared to stave off such a climate impacting event? Don't laugh... it's a legitimate question being asked by some.

If that was the case, California would be sued for their wildfires the last few years. So I'll assume this was an attempt to be funny 

This wildfire did erupt quite suddenly, fed by high winds and jumping pre-existing firebreaks like highways and rivers.

One day, in geography class, we are discussing Fort Mc-Murray. The next day, it's practically off the map. Damn.
