Romana Didulo and her band of followers have hunkered down in a rural Canadian village.

Recently, the group moved into Richmound, a village of around 150 people in south-western Saskatchewan, and settled in at a former school.

Ms Didulo and around 15 to 25 of her followers have been at the site for about a week, says Thomas Fougere of Community TV, a local independent news outlet based in nearby Medicine Hat.

Soon after their arrival, the neighbours began pushing them to leave.

Around 100 local residents drove around the school on Sunday in tractors, semi-trucks and other vehicles, trying to drive out the incomers, according to Mr Fougere.

“It’s the only place in the village where there’s a playground and where kids can safely ride their bikes away from the highway,” he said. “It’s become a high tension situation. The town doesn’t want them.”

    This lady is certified. I looked her up on wiki, and find this bit of drama hilarious:

    Though Didulo did not initially explain the basis for her claim to be the Monarch of Canada, she later clarified that she had been “appointed” to that position by an American named David J. Carlson, purportedly the “Commander-In-Chief” and “King” of the United States. Didulo claims that Carlson appointed her after she led in 2017 a mission against the Chinese communist military, who were allegedly occupying Canada in underground tunnels, where they were producing adrenochrome, trafficking humans and planning to start World War III by attacking the United States

    Awhile later this happens:

    In 2022, David Carlson, whom Didulo claims appointed her as Monarch of Canada, ended their partnership by denouncing Didulo’s behavior and endorsing a former follower of Didulo who now claims to be the true Canadian “Queen”. Didulo responded by suggesting that the person posing online as Carlson may be a clone.

        It’s like a bunch of school children playing make believe in the yard. Except they’re old enough to drive and buy guns.

          They’d probably have trouble getting a PAL. No fixed address, probably drug charges.

        The frightening thing is she has a significant number of followers who believe her.

      “This sash was given to me by the Queen of America!”
      “There’s no queen of america!”
      “Are you calling me a liar?!”

      Damn that some fucked up scifi novel there. She taking the works of book and trying turn it into reality.

      We need to not give these people a platform. How the hell does she get a wiki page and as a published writer I don’t have one?
