A more reasonable approach would be to convince one of your countryman they desperately need someone with them, who can play the bagpipes and help pay for the gas money.
Gordon, just kidding about bringing over the truck, though some guys with deep enough pockets actually have done this in the past.

But indeed, why not join The Final Push in person? Let's work on this idea, maybe we can convince more Canadian MLU members to come over.

PS: here's a picture of my truck carrying 6 members of a Dutch pipe & drum band last June in Normandy.
