Canadians send utility crews all the time to help when hurricanes and other
such disasters hit. We also send fire fighters to help fight your forest
fires. And fire fighters from our area also went to help out after 9/11.
That is from my area.. a smaller populated area. I know that many more were
sent from other areas as well. Sure we don't send the amount of dollars or
perhaps even the numbers that the US sends areas.. but with 10% of your
population it would be impossible.
