TORONTO – Canadian diplomats in Saudi Arabia say there may be a political tempest brewing as many oil-rich polygamist men look for ways to resettle here with their many wives.

Diplomatic officials said they’re flooded with applications from well-heeled Saudi men with one or more wives and have asked Ottawa for guidelines on if the spouses should be given visas for Canada.

“Bigamy and polygamy are crimes in Canada, but not here in Saudi Arabia,” said Jeff Rogers, the First Secretary of the Embassy of Canada in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Rogers said it is a “regular occurrence” to see men with more than one spouse applying for visas to travel to Canada as visitors, students or businessmen.

“And at times (they have) more than one spouse intending to travel with them,” he told officials in Ottawa in an Oct. 2011 memo obtained through an Access of Information request by lawyer Richard Kurland. “Applicants will at times declare the multiple spouses.”

  1. This article ENRAGES ME! “Bigamy and polygamy are crimes in Canada, but not here in Saudi Arabia,” said Jeff Rogers, the First Secretary of the Embassy of Canada in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.” Okay, since they ARE crimes in Canada, the answer SHOULD be self-evident. These “oil-rich polygamists” cannot and MUST NOT be allowed to immigrate here. ( I suppose this is easy to say, but what will the government do? ) I will certainly make my voice heard against this.

  2. I do wonder why, all of a sudden, the Canadian Embassy in Saudi Arabia is “flooded” with applicants. Hhmmm.

  3. Would Saudis still think polygamy is cool, when we marry their women? Saudis shouldn’t be so cocky when Islam destroys itself in Syria.

  4. Saudi women would only accept rich polygamists. And furthermore Saudis like many other Asians would only consider marrying Westerners who are better off than them.See how those rich Saudis and rich Asians looked down on poor Westerners and you would understand that those Middle Easterners and Asians are only interested in expanding their wealth and power, and misusing their wealth and power to oppress our Western freedom.

  5. Rich polygamists are the least of your problems. We have them living on welfare benefits,expecting taxpayers to fund their multiple wives, and stupidly, we do.

    If you let rich ones in, poorer muslims from Pakistan,Afghanistan Yemen, Somalia etc will soon follow, and your taxes will be funding your own demographic downfall with welfare polygamy and large Muslim families.

  6. The important thing brought out in the article is the way the rich Saudi’s are trying to find a place they can flee to and still live their preferred lifestyle.

    This is partially because of fear of Iran and partially because of fear of the MB, they know the Wahhabis and know which of them to bribe, they don’t know who is bribable in the MB and thus can’t continue not following sharia.

    These tell us that the situation in the middle east is very close to open war among the Moslems and probably against Israel. A fact that all Americans should consider when deciding who to vote for.

  7. @Richard

    You hit home. As I said, Islam destroys itself in Syria. But won’t the Saudis nuke their oilfields before the MB takes over? Or do they fear eternal punishment for that?

  8. @wlil

    The pressure of Iran creates great opportunities to part the Saudis of their money.

    @jas

    And this can be prevented by the same mechanisms.

  9. oogenhand as far as I know the Saudi’s don’t have any nukes, they are negotiating with Pakistan and North Korea to buy some but haven’t taken delivery of any. Also they will be looking to set up some type of resistance program and retake Saudi when they can (probably using western troops), this would not be possible if they nuke the oil fields.

  10. Saudi’s and probably Kuwaits, the Iranian leaders have said that they think oil should be $200 per barrel since the current price didn’t cause the west to collapse.

  11. Iran denies the Holocaust like there is no tomorrow, yet opposes euthanasia and eugenic abortion. They do educate their women and allow birth control. This means dysgenics and a rising median age. Even if they get victory over the West, they are still done for, unless they give up their values and religion. Maybe I am their Mahdi 😉

  12. The male abominable little creatures, the male evil nasty people. Saudi-Arabia destroys itself against Iran, so they are a little bit too macho.

  13. If we can elect leaders who will defend our nations we will survive and so will freedom, if we have to follow the path of civil war we will survive but I fear for the survival of freedom and civilization.

  14. You cannot elect leaders who will defend our nations. The leaders respect only force. We should undermine their ideological paradigm; Kukutzal as-Akzaba’il.

  15. The current election in the US is very much between one who will and one who won’t defend our nation, given enough pressure some will step up.
