Trolls trick ‘Queen of Canada’ followers to volunteer as executioners
While the Q-Anon cult figure, Romana Didulo, aka "The Queen of Canada," has developed a loyal following of hardcore supporters ready to give her their money and time, she has also made a lot of enemies. And those enemies were successful in revealing how bloodthirsty, violent and potentially dangerous the cult is.

Vice Magazine reports that the trolls created a subgroup on Telegram to recruit "Military Tribunal officers" who would work as “judge, jury, and executioner” for the cult. It did not take long for many of her most loyal followers to volunteer to kill for her.

Then the followers, encouraged by trolls, started brainstorming about how to kill their enemies. One idea that they all liked was taking enemies out to the Arctic to be eaten by polar bears. The trolls eventually trolled the group to the point of shutting it down. There are many groups dedicated to fighting The Queen and her cult.

The cult has already threatened violence and public executions in Richmound, the town in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan where the unhinged group is currently residing.

In early Oct. the ‘Queen’s followers’ sent “cease and desist” emails, calling out several local authorities by name, and said if the town did not follow the queen’s decrees, 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,” Richmound's mayor told CBC News.

After being chased out of several towns in Canada, the cult settled in Richmound. One of their followers, Rick (pictured), says he owns the private property that contains the old school and has let them set up shop there. He said he’d been following her for three years and she was saying everything he wanted to hear. Since they've arrived, he said they've worked "like ants" to fix everything up.

In the wake of the threats, the locals in the area are becoming more alarmed. The Canadian police, the RCMP, has set up a temporary detachment in Richmound and are investigating the threats. They warned local residents of increased police presence in the area.

This unassuming woman born in the Philippines claims she is “Queen of Canada.” Well, according to her, her official title is actually Commander-in-Chief, Queen, President and National Indigenous Chief of the Kingdom of Canada. This is Romana Didulo, one of the most prominent Canadian figures of the QAnon conspiracy.

But Didulo is different than many of today’s conspiracy influencers. Instead of promoting the theories online, she has attracted a traveling band of followers who are causing trouble across the great white north. Here’s the bizarre story.

According to Vice reporting, not much is known about Didulo before 2020. She appears to have been a failed entrepreneur who moved from the Philippines as a girl. She once told her followers that she had been homeless, sleeping on the floor of a nail salon.

In 2020, she got into politics as the only member of the Canada 1st Party of Canada. Shortly after, she started saying she was queen. But it was only after a well-known QAnon influencer vouched for her claims that she became extremely popular online. She kept getting bigger by threatening violence against politicians and people giving out COVID vaccines.

Her ideas are slippery. She mixes far-right QAnon conspiracies about Donald Trump getting rid of the elite cabal of child abusers with New Age philosophy. She even claims to be an extraterrestrial leader and healer.

“She is, I would say, one of the most dangerous QAnon influencers within the movement, if not the most dangerous,” Alex Mendela, from Alethea Group, an organization that monitors disinformation, told VICE News. “Inevitable confrontation might end up becoming violent. She very much dehumanizes and desensitizes her audience to violence.”

Violence is a key part of her philosophy. “Shoot to kill anyone who tries to inject Children under the age of 19 years old with Coronavirus19 vaccines/ bioweapons or any other Vaccines,” she told her thousands of followers on Telegram. “This order is effective immediately.” Canadian police sent her for a wellness check, but released her shortly after. One of her followers in Quebec was arrested for threats to his daughter's school.
Once truckers began to occupy Ottawa over COVID restrictions, Didulo emerged from the online shadows. She had followers rent RVs to drive her across the country from her home in Victoria. She eventually held an event in Ottawa for around a hundred followers who gave her something of a royal procession. But when she started burning a Canadian flag, some of the truckers turned on her. She then turned on the truckers, saying they were in the pocket of George Soros.

The Queen of Canada convoy lost the RVs over contractual issues, according to Vice. So they had to rent hotels in Ottawa. But when renting the rooms, she made them spend $300 a night for an empty room to keep it there just in case Putin dropped by. They eventually got new privately rented RVs and embarked on a tour of Canada.
The Queen treats her followers poorly, subjecting them to busy work, making them listen to the Boney M. song ‘Rasputin’ for hours on repeat, controlling their every move and even putting them at risk, former followers told Vice. When some of the followers revolted, she kicked them out of the traveling convoy in Newfoundland. They’ve now banded together to take her down.

Vice also reports that Didulo told her followers to stop paying their bills because “the banking system was fake and the debt would eventually be forgiven.” At least one of the followers obeyed and in January, was in the process of losing the home where she lived with her children.

On Telegram, she encouraged her 60,000 followers to keep the city of Peterborough, Ontario safe by arresting its police officers. The event was organized by one of her most devout followers, and several of them actually went to the police station to arrest the police. Any guess what happened? Three of her men were arrested. The Queen highlighted that she was in the city, but as an observer NOT a participant.

She has her two most loyal subjects – Darlene, who is her “Chief of Staff” and French translator Kaven, whose account is often used to recieve the money. She's also managed to convince several more followers to give up everything and followe her around, get donations, and even a free RV from a subject. She still in a few different RVs. By Sept. 9. 2022, Vice had reported she had raised more than $140,000 from her followers.

How does the “Queen” keep such a loyal following? Besides the tactics to manipulate her followers, she is very active, posting hour-long daily news broadcasts (hosted by Darlene (shown) and then translated into French, of course). The theme song is a rewritten version of ‘Rasputin’ (Ra Ra Romana!). The broadcast is called Queen Romana Tel-Ro-Vision News.

The convoy also went to Nova Scotia just weeks after the devastating Hurricane Fiona hit. First, they said the hurricane was a lie, then they got to Glace Bay in Cape Breton and started using a man whose home was destroyed to raise money. But the neighbors had none of it, and practically chased the gang away, telling them off and blasting Slayer during their daily broadcasts.

In March 2023, the queen was also printing her own money, kind of like Canada’s famous Canadian Tire money. Called “loyalty” money, and she said the cash will eventually be able to be used at some places... And then in all of Canada. It's cleary not valid but she urges her followers to send real Canadian dollars in exchange: “Everyone, continue to send money so that we can continue to print,” she said.
In Sept. 2023, her cavalcade made up of eight vehicles moved into the small Saskatchewan town of Kamsack and claimed to be taking over the town, the community’s administer Sherise Fountain told CTV News. Worried, the town locked down its hospital and clinic. But around 200 angry townsfolk and members of nearby First Nations non-violently chased them out.

That's when the gang then regrouped Richmound. A local resident told CTV that they had set up a “wire perimeter” over their new base, which is an abandoned school. The source said the community of 150 is “very disturbed.” The group has invited followers for a large "meet and greet" on Oct. 14.
