I'm right there wanting a diesel wrangler too, and it is a very interesting topic.
I'm wondering how hard it would be for you guys to buy one from Europe (or somewhere), ship it over, and register it ?
When I lived in Canada I went through the paperwork to "import" my XJ from the USA, and while it was only coming from the USA, I think the process would be identical and not difficult at all. Because it's made in the USA, it would still be tax-free thanks to NAFTA.
I'll bet you can make up a story like "Yeah, I lived/worked in Germany for a year, now I've moving back home and would like to bring my Jeep with me"
The "registrar of imported vehicles" in Canada has great info on their site.
Thoughts?

The RIV "easy" process only applies for U.S. specification vehicles legal for importation or distribution within the U.S.
Non-U.S. specification vehicles must be more than 15 years old in order to be imported into Canada.
