And plenty have actually escaped to the freedom of Canada when their government attempted to conscript them.

I dunno - when the US was under actual attack on 9/11, it sure seemed like the world gave all kinds of help.  Just as one example when all those airplanes landed in places like Newfoundland or Whitehorse people turned out in droves to house the passengers until they could fly home.

Yes.

When there's forest fires, all provinces that aren't with the same problem send aircrafts to help fight the fires.  When they have massive storms/hurricane that cut the power, Hydro-Quebec sends people to help repair the lines.  I'm pretty sure other provinces do the same.  And I remember Americans sending help in 1998 during the server ice storms too.

The only thing we don't do is help them plan a coup d'état in their own country. ;)

I have no idea what is going on here but that woman looks a little calmer than I would expect somebody being hauled away by vikings.

The Business Chamber of Vienna's branch for car related businesses has the facebook account "Mobil in Wien" with over 2000 followers where they share "funny memes." One of the "best" is the below, especially in times of rapidly increasing rents and property prices.
