‘QAnon figure’ and conspiracy fringe leader sets up in southwestern Saskatchewan village

RICHMOUND, SK – A woman who calls herself the legal Queen of Canada and has amassed a following among the alt-right conspiracy fringe has seemingly set up camp in a Saskatchewan village about 100 kilometres from Medicine Hat.

The mayor of Richmound and village residents told CHAT News this week Romana Didulo and her group arrived in the community last Thursday.

Mayor Brad Miller says village officials are monitoring the situation and figuring out what their next steps will be. He says people are on pins and needles and most in the community want the group to leave.

Miller and Saskatchewan RCMP both say because the group hasn’t done anything illegal there’s not much that can be done about their presence.

One Richmound resident says Didulo and her group have set up on someone’s property in the community and believe that person invited them. There are reportedly about eight RVs and other smaller passenger vehicles in the group.

Didulo is described by anti-hate organizations as a Canadian QAnon figure who calls for violent action against those who oppose her.

Earlier last week Didulo and her group were run out of the Saskatchewan town of Kamsack near the Manitoba boundary.
