The Cult Queen of Canada
CBCIn the rural prairie town of Richmound, Saskatchewan (population 120), an abandoned school becomes the unlikely stage for a 21st-century crisis. When Romana Didulo, a cult leader who calls herself “Queen of Canada,” arrives with her followers and turns the school into her royal court, the town is thrust into a surreal standoff. Investigative journalist Rachel Browne uncovers how online extremism bleeds into everyday life and divides the town. As threats escalate and officials hesitate, a retired schoolteacher is thrust into leading an improvised resistance. The Cult Queen of Canada is a story about polarization, power vacuums, and what happens when a small community becomes the testing ground for extremism in modern Canada.
