The sad thing is there are millions of them that want to flee for a better life in the west. The irony though is they want to turn their adopted country into the s***hole they left☹️

    Congratulations young lady. I hope you settle into your new home well and can put the nightmares behind you. Her actions will hopefully inspire  women in Saudi Arabia and other countries repressive to

    Well done Canada for being quick off the mark to offer her a home , without worrying about pissing Saudi Arabia off. The recent case with Khashoggi showed how little spine for confrontation with them

  • hope the Canadians don't eventually realise that they were simply just more 'convenient' to her, than the Aussies! That she wanted Australia, and Canada was a lesser choice...

Great news ...Canada a really good country putting so much of the rest of the ugly looking world to shame. Canada the antithesis of Trump but I know so many Americans are not Trumpets. In Brexit Britain, so many of us are not isolationists or UKIP nationalists but welcome refugees and migrants especially from countries experiencing extreme oppression and awful lives. Humanity must fight the reactionaries and extremists wherever they are.

Of course Canada jumped on the oppurtunity to have her come to Canada. There is an election coming in Canada and you can bet Jihad Justine Trudope and Climate Barby will be there taking all kinds of pictures with smiles and apoligies with crocidile tears for what she has suffered with a big fat cheque to settle in hoping to win all the bleeding heart votes. 

Think you are missing the point also "Grudge". As far as the next election is concerned, if he gets back in it will be a sad day for Canada. But this story, imo, will have dick all to do with it!

The difference between Thailand and Canada.

If this is a genuine case well and good. If not i believe the government should monitor her and send her back, as this is just one more example for others who are so willing to move to countries like Australia and Canada - emotionally.

Good job Canada, if Thailand send her back to Saudia, she would have been in catastrophic situation.

Okay, so far it looks like a happy end. But I hope that the Canadian authorities will provide her with a new identity and the girl will break off all contact with the family, because they will stop at nothing to restore the "family" honour. That is a sure fact.

I see that a cousin has tweeted that he is going to kill her. Could that be the cousin that she was to have been married to, as this was one of her reasons for running away, to avoid an unwanted marriage.

it is possible.  sleeper agent installed.  no one will ever suspect her after this.  next step invite close family and relatives of the same thinking.   Possible sure but that is our weakness.. Compassion. 

completely agree. An easy way to enter into Canada without any tests or whatsoever.

they'd have to have been part of an armed crack suicide death squad, to have gotten anywhere near her; once she had squealed publically!

 anyhows Canada finally got their 'one up' oo the Saudis... the proverbial middle finger in the air at them'n'all that!

this all worked out well for all parties, except for the camel dudes...

She is a real refugee in a world of fake ones, lets hope it encourages more women to leave Islam for freedom.

As a Canadian I'm happy for the girl. As well, as a Canadian I am disgusted with the government of the Great White North because there are, by its own estimates, 2250 homeless vets wandering the streets living in fear and poverty. Where's the freaking government for them?????

Saddle life is luck, timing and connections..this woman won the lottery, does she deserve it ?? will she appreciate our Canadian hospitality and earn this??...many who deserve help get nothing...I am reminded of the Omhar Kadar 10+ mill human rights violation settlement ...My tax dollars to a known terrorist who Killed American troops...that is disgusting

Good luck in Canada but reality will set in soon.  The family probably has cut off her credit cards and access to money in the bank.  Asylum doe not mean a luxurious lifestyle.  She might have to get a job.  At 18 I wonder what skills she can offer?  Will she live in public housing with other refugees in Canada?  Freedom is Not Free(literally).  

"The family probably has cut off her credit cards and access to money in the bank"

How do you know that she even had credit cards or even a bank account - probably was "looked after ' by her family, so why should she need money?

 

"She might have to get a job."

She would probably like to get a job, and I presume that there are plenty of jobs available in Canada for those who want to work.

 

Also, she is young, attractive, and will be willing to learn - unlike a lot of the "immigrants" that sneak through the back door into the UK for instance. Additionally, she will probably be wooed by the Canadian Government as she is such a high profile "immigrant". You can probably expect to see pictures soon of her adapting to her new lifestyle in her new home, and studying in her new University.

I'm happy that this one young woman escaped her prison in Saudi, but she's clearly just the tip of the iceberg. The oppression continues, and face it, the world isn't going to do jack sheit to change that except in isolated cases such as this one.

did you read all that in @Tony125 's Link? ... where, after finishing Uni, she's kept back inside home; and ends up on Benefits, as she cannot freely work...

 

Oh well! now back 'home' the Benefits for all subsequent girls in same position of unemployability, will be ceased!  fer sure!

All hail the conquering hero. A Canadian already and greeted personally by Foreign Minister Freeland no less. I am surprised that Trudeau didn't fly her in on a private jet. A soon to be a well-publicized photo opportunity with Trudeau is planned for a few days from now I am sure. I hope she enjoys the weather. I normally say no such thing as bad weather, just poor choice of clothing. But for her, coming from Saidi Arabia, it is going to be bad weather for the next three months. I see she wears a silly UNHCR promotional hat and Canada hoodie. Where is her Canada Goose down jacket? She is going to need it coming from a hot weather country. Reality will soon set in. Of course, she will now be able to do whatever she wants. Without any permission from men, she just will not have her father paying for her. Best of luck to her. Reality will slowly set in over the next couple of months. Once the fanfare is over, no family, no money, having served her UNHCR/Trudeau agenda, life will be difficult. As a poster child for the UNHCR and Trudeau, she will have more opportunities than most, but a tough road lies ahead.

The choice was her's and not that of another critic.

It was clear to me from the outset that she is prepared to do what ever it takes to live successfully where ever she settles. Wealth would mean little if the strings attached were so extreme. 

I suggest she change her name and appearance so her family will have more difficulty finding her.  Honor killings are not uncommon in Canada.

 

Lucky she arrived save in Canada, and don't forget the horrible and stupid acting of Thailand!

 

She’s not out of danger. Trust me.

This is one lucky young woman, considering that many Canadians cannot get a family member

into Canada from their home country. So many people get their applications rejected, meanwhile

here we go again with a refugee getting in, pfff, with the photo savvy PM, saying his welcome speech. As a Canadian born Canadian I am disgusted with the immigration department of Canada.

 I am also not happy with the current PM and hope to have a new one when the next Federal elections are over. Good luck to this young woman, and I hope the Canadian government will take

precautions over the next several years to ensure that she does not get done in by somebody,

from her part of the world, or some person of her religion.

Geezer

a big thumbs up for Canada. If Saudi Arabia didn’t have oil everybody would have been scrambling for a piece of the action. 

Without their oil they’d be friendless and we’d be more inclined to call them out for their abuses. Can’t wait until the oil runs out. 

don't want to sound negative but something is not right here, her body language, her expressions, always smiling, not showing any stressed out/worried face.... this is not the end of the story, something is coming, call me what you want but it just doesn't fit. Kashoggi was killed, dismembered & packed by the same people and here they let her go...they took her passport but didn't take the phone.... fishy almost like an hollywood movie!!! if it sounds to good to be true????

A long road ahead of her.

This is a beautiful story, of David vs Goliath. And who triumphed? A young innocent woman, who was systematically abused by a masochistic society, father, and brother, with no respect, honor, or love of women. The fact that she refused to even speak with her father and her brother in Bangkok, says it all. The entire world was presented with this spectacle, and the House of Saud, and contemporary Saudi Arabia ended up with egg all over it's face, looking like a medieval, out of control, machismo oriented, outdated, outmoded, repressive, ugly society, suffering from a nearly complete lack of reform, despite what the gangster MBS would tell us. This, combined with the recent state sanctioned murder of Khashoggi, leaves them in a place of near total isolation. If it were not for their wealth, and oil reserves, they would be a tiny economy, in a forgotten part of the Middle East, and would be of no relevance to the planet. Sharia has to go. It is of no benefit to the world, and is a destructive ideology that does not teach love, but rather intolerance, exclusion, hatred of women, and a total lack of joy. It is incumbent on all nations, to make sure that all immigrants who practice Sharia, and Wahhabism, are denied entry into their countries. There will never be any assimilation, with such an extremist ideology. 

 

As it stands now, what has Saudi Arabia done for the world lately? What massive charity projects are they using their tremendous wealth for, to improve the lives of the downtrodden, the poor, the sick, and those that are dying around the world? Other than their massive contributions to the extremist Madrasa schools, who churn out extremists, where is the charity?  

I totally agree with your post. The problem is, the SAs and their "brethren" do not. This will feed the extremist fundamentalist mentality, and spawn more and more atrocities. 

Wind back to the Crusades, maybe they were not wrong, even of they were the terrorist extremists of their day.

Imaginary friends of whatever persuasion cause nothing but trouble.1
