      @@nvmtt I'm in California, we pay for those Canadian planes. They're leased each year. Mexico sent 72 firefighters, looked good for the press.
      California, particularly the Los Angeles County Fire Department, leases **two Canadian Super Scoopers** each fire season from Quebec's provincial government. The cost for leasing these aircraft is approximately **$4-5 million for a three-month period**. Additionally, there is an hourly flight cost of around **$515**.
      The U.S. does not directly pay Canadian firefighters for their assistance. However, there are **mutual aid agreements** and **international support arrangements** in place. For example, during record-breaking wildfires, the U.S. has sent firefighters to Canada, and vice versa, to help manage and contain fires. These arrangements are based on cooperation and resource sharing rather than direct financial compensation.

      Its just a drop-in-the-bucket compared to the defense budget. The way I've heard it described is its cheap and builds valuable goodwill in countries way beyond the cost versus solving problems by invading a country with the military to fix a problem. It 'stabilizes the world making it easier for Americans to travel safely, for the military to patrol and have 'safe harbor' facilities around the world, and to keep shipping lanes/aircraft flight paths safe so we get all that cheap goods we dearly love to buy.
