Police would not confirm the encounter as extremism experts warn that the heated rhetoric within the QAnon influencer’s massive following is of “serious” concern.

For almost a full day, Romana Didulo, the so-called QAnon Queen of Canada, didn't post on Telegram. Many of her 70,000 followers were overcome with worry.

Some said they couldn't sleep, others speculated about why she hadn't posted—including "Queen Romana is on her way to the nuclear sub"— while others felt this was the day that Didulo would finally declare victory in her fight to end vaccinations. And so it was a relief to many when the QAnon influencer returned with the promise of a livestream.

Over the 75-minute stream Monday night, she claimed to her followers (4,000 of whom tuned in live) that she was visited by an RCMP team who executed a search warrant, seized several electronic devices, and took her in for a psych evaluation. She said she was interviewed by a doctor, and released.

"I had known what was coming before it even happened,” she told her followers. “So, there we are, all are glad to see that Queen Romana is not insane and was cleared by the psychiatrist at that hospital.”

The RCMP’s alleged visit came shortly after Didulo wrote a post encouraging followers to “shoot to kill anyone who tries to inject Children under the age of 19 years old with Coronavirus19 vaccines/ bioweapons or any other Vaccines.” The post was reported on by VICE World News and the Canadian Anti-Hate Network and was removed by Telegram because “it contains calls to violence.”

RCMP told VICE World News that they “are not in a position to confirm” Didulo’s claims of being picked up, because they will only offer such confirmation in situations where criminal charges have been laid. In her video, Didulo mentioned an RCMP officer by name, and flashed a card given to her. VICE World News was able to confirm the officer does work for the RCMP. Didulo also showed a document in the livestream that is consistent with an RCMP search warrant.

Didulo’s following, which exploded earlier this year after she was promoted by several influential QAnon figures, has taken numerous real-world actions on her behalf, including the hand delivery of hundreds of fake cease-and-desist notices to businesses in multiple countries. The QAnon community, which is believed to number in the millions, believes in the wildly unfactual, and wide-ranging, conspiracy theory that Donald Trump is secretly waging war against a pedophilic cabal of leftist elites who (also secretly) run the world. It’s a theory that Didulo has, as the self-proclaimed Queen of Canada, inserted herself directly into. The FBI has linked some QAnon followers to violence, and has warned that the community is an increasing domestic threat.

Extremism researcher Amarnath Amarasingam told VICE World News that Didulo “unfortunately, has to be taken seriously.” He said if Didulo’s claims about the RCMP are true, it’s not the normal approach authorities usually use with extremists in Canada.
