RCMP officers have arrested Romana Didulo, the leader of a cult that has been living in a Saskatchewan village for two years, according to a livestream posted by Didulo on Wednesday morning.

The video, shared to Didulo's followers on Telegram at 5:51 a.m. CST on Wednesday, shows two officers wearing tactical gear burst into a room where Didulo is standing.

"Leave the phone down. You're under arrest," one officers says.

Didulo surrenders to officers and the camera is pointed at the floor for a few minutes. Voices off camera then remark that the phone is livestreaming before the video ends.

She's been a known nut for years who has disrupted a Saskatchewan community for a couple of years by the domineering presence of her cult following.

1. What an unfortunate and amusingly easy to mispronounce name.

I guess cult-leader may have appeared to be her best career option?

2. I think the mispronounciation applies in spades to her followers too. :) . . . nt

7. I went to college with a guy named Fuchs. First roll call stopped every professor.

3. A Canadian Rajneeshpuram?

4. More like "sovereign citizens" and anti-vax bullies. . . . nt

8. The sovereign citizen movement is so bizarre...

... How can otherwise reasonably smart people fall for that shit?

The YouTube videos of traffic stops of sovereign citizens are truly weird sometimes amusing but very sad to see how far they have fallen into this cult.

5. OK, now I understand

From the article: "The cult began as part of the larger Q-Anon movement — which believes there is a secret cabal running the government — and has now evolved into a sovereign citizen movement, Sarteschi said. "

Canada has never been keen on disinformation, which is how they've mostly kept Murdoch out. They would also dislike the idea of some gal carving out her own kingdom (queendom?) from Canadian territory.

I have a feeling Her Highness is going to spend a long time in a nice hospital taking lots of pretty colored pills and having unpleasant talks with people in white coats until she feels better.

6. Queen of.... QAnon

Romana Didulo (/roʊˈmɑːnə dɪˈduːloʊ/ roh-MAH-nuh dih-DOO-loh, /rə-/ ruh-'; born November 1974) is a Canadian conspiracy theorist. She is one of the most prominent figures of the QAnon movement in Canada and promotes other conspiracy theories such as the pseudolegal concepts derived from the sovereign citizen movement. Didulo came to prominence as a pretender who proclaimed herself to be the "Queen of Canada", and later, "Queen of the World". She has a group of followers that travel with her, resulting in confrontations with local residents

11. Bout time they did something

Send her back to the Philippines after she does time in jail.
They need to put that fool (Rick Manz) who owns the property they've been on in jail, too. Last I checked assaulting an officer is a jailable offense.
If I lived in that community, I'd be organizing to chase the remnants of that asylum out of town.Something to be said for "Run 'em out on a rail"

12. I misread her surname like three times
