Saskatchewan RCMP has set up a temporary detachment in Richmound to investigate reports of increased crime in the small Saskatchewan town after the Kingdom of Canada cult moved in late September.
C/Supt. Tyler Bates, commander of Saskatchewan RCMP’s South District, said in a news release on Friday that police had received “a number of calls for service” related to the group’s presence in the community over the past two weeks. Police are looking into a report of assault, reports of threats and “suspicious persons,” the releases added, saying all are under active investigation. No further details were provided.
The temporary detachment is open 24/7, Bates said, adding that regular patrols of the town would also be conducted.
Cult leader Romana Didulo — a self-proclaimed Queen of Canada who espouses wild QAnon conspiracies and has advocated for violence against health professionals over injecting children with COVID-19 vaccines — and her followers are reportedly living in a privately owned, abandoned school property in the town of roughly 100 people near the Alberta border.
Residents of Kamsack, a town of fewer than 1,800 people near the Manitoba border, escorted the far-right conspiracy theorist and cult leader out of their community earlier in September. A video taken in Kamsack showed a motorhome with a sign reading: “Meet and Greet. Her Majesty, Queen Romana, Commander-in-Chief of the Kingdom of Canada.”
The cult leader and her followers were asked to leave by Cote Fist Nation Chief Chief George Cote, and Kamsack RCMP said at the time they “provided a courtesy accompaniment to one party as they travelled out of Kamsack.
“She pulled into town with a big bus there, saying she was the Queen of Canada, queen of the world and chief of the Indigenous nations. We don’t even know this individual,” said Cote.
“Our members kind of got together and told her, ‘You’re on Treaty Four territory. You’re not our queen. You’re not our leader.”
Didulo lived in British Columbia until 2022, and earlier this year was also living in Nova Scotia.
She and her people are seeking to replace legitimate governments in all of North America via their movement. Her claims are many, outrageous and all without proof.
She claims to be a reptilian shape-shifter who can become invisible at any given time. She claims to have healing chambers aboard her many space ships, with the power to heal any disease and only available to her believers.
Many of her edicts mandate the death penalty. She has advocated hanging people upside down from helicopters and dropping them to their deaths in crocodile-infested waters.
Anyone in the Richmound area is encouraged to report any suspicious activity to police, either anonymously by contacting Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or at saskcrimestoppers.com.
