A dramatic police raid in Saskatchewan ended with the arrest of Romana Didulo, a Filipina who calls herself the “Queen of the Kingdom of Canada.”
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) stormed a compound illegally occupied by Didulo and her followers. She was in the middle of a livestream when officers in tactical gear burst into her room. Calm but surrounded, she surrendered without resistance.
Sixteen of her loyal followers were also arrested in the raid.
According to RCMP Inspector Ashley St. Germaine, the search was prompted by reports of firearms inside the compound—a decommissioned school in Richmound, Saskatchewan, that the group had taken over.
“We executed a search warrant after receiving a report that one occupant was in possession of a firearm,” St. Germaine explained at a press conference. “We seized four replica handguns—one in the building and three inside vehicles.”
While no charges have been filed yet, St. Germaine confirmed that Didulo, who openly identifies herself as the group’s leader, is in custody.
The arrest didn’t end the chaos. Hours later, some of Didulo’s followers attempted to storm the police station where she was being held. Several were taken into custody.
Didulo, who was born in the Philippines, has lived in Canada for years and gained notoriety for claiming sovereignty and rejecting Canadian laws. Her followers, drawn to her bizarre proclamations, pledged allegiance to her self-styled “Kingdom of Canada.”
For the past two years, she has traveled with her group, urging citizens to ignore the government and instead obey her decrees. In one chilling video, she even declared herself “Commander-in-Chief of Canada” and ordered the Canadian Armed Forces to open the border with the U.S. for a supposed “World War III operation.”
“My fellow Canadians, I address you today as your queen, commander-in-chief, and head of government,” she declared in a broadcast. “Effective immediately, I am authorizing the Kingdom of Canada’s armed forces… to execute their orders under World War III operations.”
Her movement first took root in the QAnon conspiracy network before shifting to the Sovereign Citizen ideology, which denies the legitimacy of government authority.
As of now, the RCMP has not released the full list of those arrested, nor the exact charges Didulo will face. But one thing is clear: the so-called “Queen of Canada” is behind bars, and the kingdom she tried to build is now crumbling under the weight of the law.
