An extremist cult leader and her followers have set up camp in a small Saskatchewan village, 83 kilometres northwest of Maple Creek, near the Alberta border. The group has called for public execution of elected officials and other members in and around the community. Romana Didulo is known as a far-right QAnon conspiracy theorist. She has declared herself the "Queen of Canada," among other titles including the national Indigenous leader. She has amassed thousands of followers by pushing conspiracy theories and what she calls decrees through social media, particularly Telegram — a messaging app that has grown in popularity with the far right. Didulo and some of her followers, who call themselves the 'Kingdom of Canada,' have been travelling around the country for some time. On Sept. 13, they were forced out of Kamsack, Sask., by the townspeople. The cult then made its way to the village of Richmound on Sept. 15, and has been staying at the former Richmound School, having been invited by the property owner. Richmound Mayor Brad Miller said village residents do not feel safe with them there. "It's been escalating and the people are getting more and more tired of this, more mental health [concerns], more scared," Miller said. Thomas Fougere of Community TV, a local independent news outlet based in Medicine Hat, Alta., has been covering the cult's presence in Richmound. He said the people there are nervous about the group's extreme beliefs, their behaviour and their potential impact on the children in the village. The playground, which is near the school, is closed to children to avoid the possibility of a child being confronted. On Sept. 24, after taking note of Kamsack's success in driving Didulo and her followers out of town, Richmound villagers protested with signs — parading their cars near the school, honking their horns and calling for the cult to leave. "The people who were inside the school compound line, all of them were very agitated," said Fougere of Didulo's followers. On Monday, followers of Didulo sent village administration at least four "cease and desist" emails, according to Miller. The notice was also posted to Telegram and shared across other social media platforms. It addressed the mayor, village councillors, members of the fire department, RCMP members, Fougere and a school teacher — all by name — accusing them of corruption, bullying, and stalking, and calling these behaviours "dangerous," "illegal" and "immoral." In the letter, the cult threatened that if the village did not follow the decrees of the "queen," they would receive judgment and "if found guilty of 'crimes against humanity' or 'treason,' would face "publicly broadcast execution upon yourselves, and undeserved devastation upon your children, grandchildren and families." "Be forewarned and prepared. WTP (We the People) now are watching you with open eyes. The curtain is drawn … Your future is in your hands," read the post. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/sask...sask-village-with-public-executions-1.6988680 This may seem slightly hypocritical, but I hope every member of this imaginary kingdom is executed for treason.
Whimsical reply: If she's not having orgies with her followers, she's doing cult wrong. Even Ayn Rand used her cult for some side-boning. And Ayn Rand was boring and horrible. Honest reply: Wall them in with tanks; wait for them to run out of food, and for them all to Kool-Aid themselves. When the government actually shows force to these fucks, they fold, and lemming out.
My condolences to Canadia on their rabid right wing animal troubles. At least yours do not launch surprise missile attacks or engage in warmongering as much as some other places. Normally I am for some pretty wide freedom of speech and bullshit, but the rabid right is showing me that you really need to at least hunt down and imprison the rabid anti-social domestic terrorists. There is a big area between saying some rather unpleasant shit that offends others and actually forming plans and organizing to harm people. There is a difference between violent protests of real injustice, and terrorism. Even when the side may have a rightious cause, those who do terrorism always need to be removed and punished in the end for the sake of trust in the social contracts regarding harming others. Killings and acts of terrorism cannot be tolerated under the banner of whatever cause they are behind. A court might find mitigating circumstances for violence and lower punishments or attempt rehabilitation, but assault, killing, stalking, harassment, stealing from, destruction of property, and even intimidating threeats and stochastic terrorism need to be stopped by the law or civil penalties.
a buddy of mine lives in Kamsack... given you can still get a fixer upper house there for under $60K, that they're flop housing an abandoned school suggests more than a few things about this group of grifters.
Everyone needs a place to live, I just feel sorry for the rats. Hopefully they will just fester there and inbreed in their little bubble of human puss. As long as the puss stays in one place it is generally fine and might slowly be healed.
a bunch of wannabe self identifying libertarians are a menace to local kids... who'd have thought it? (EVERYBODY)
This is true, but teenagers are probably the best to deal with them anyway. It will keep their cruelty occupied on targets that need a good ass kicking and are fairly harmless. Better to fuck with these goons than some poor homeless person who didn't wrong anyone. Teens need to learn empathy and if they fuck up a few of the quanon crazies really it is just guiding the inevitable destruction to a group that no one gives a fuck about for good reason. Sometimes you just got to direct shit at shit, and let the fire burn.
If the canadians are going to hide things from a moron it really should be @Steal Your Face . He does much funnier things when you hide things on him.
