Romana Didulo, the self-proclaimed Queen of Canada, is unlike almost any other cult leader Canada has ever seen. In an incredibly short amount of time, she's been able to gain a mass following, despite her absurd claims and alarming rhetoric.At various points, she's claimed to be a political leader, a monarch, an interdimensional being communing with aliens, and so much more. She's urged her followers to take up arms and execute migrants on sight.And now, she's taken up residence in a small Saskatchewan town that doesn't know what to do.Featured in this episode: Mack Lamoureux (VICE News), Peter Smith (Canadian Anti-Hate Network), Hugh EverdingTo learn more:“A QAnon Cult Set Up a Compound in a Small Town.

The village of Richmound, Saskatchewan, is struggling to get rid a QAnon cult that moved into a former school in the community. But how do you convince Romana Didulo, the self-styled ‘Queen of the Kingdom of Canada,' and her followers to hit the road? Mack Lamoureux, a reporter with Vice News, brings us the latest on Didulo's group, after paying a visit to Richmound. For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts Transcripts of each episode will be made available by the next workday.

For years Romana Didulo, better known to her followers as Queen Romana, has built a following of tens of thousands of people online behind a blend of QAnon conspiracies, COVID-19 denial, new age mysticism, the support of a supposed intergalactic alien consortium, and perhaps most notably, the belief that she is the one true sovereign Queen and ruler of the ‘Kingdom of Canada.' But in the past year the QAnon Queen's movement has gone offline, resulting in real world actions that began with the harassment of healthcare workers and COVID compliant businesses and escalated into an attack on local police forces in Ontario. Today, The Queen is on a non-stop RV tour of Canada, greeting followers and soliciting thousands of dollars in donations from her ever growing online platform. This has even led some experts to call the burgeoning group a cult. Now, some former members of Romana Didulo's inner circle, who allege that they were subjected to emotional and financial abuse, are fighting back.

Senator Simons speaks to Vice News senior reporter Mack Lamoureux about his deep Franco-Albertan roots and his journalistic focus on extremist groups in Alberta and Canada. 

Death threats, hotel rooms left empty for supposed visits by Russian President Vladimir Putin, and hours upon hours of the song Rasputin by Boney M. These are the conditions former followers say they endured on a cross-country RV tour with Romana Didulo, the self-proclaimed “Queen of Canada." Didulo became a well-known QAnon conspiracy figure, with claims she was the rightful ruler of Canada, but she originally didn't appear in public. Now, she's touring the country with supporters in RVs, including a stop in Peterborough, Ont., last month where her followers tried to arrest the city's police. Vice World News reporter Mack Lamoureux spoke to former tour “staff” members, including some that Didulo reportedly abandoned in the middle of Newfoundland. Today, what they allege about the abuse they suffered, and why both Lamoureux and some experts increasingly believe the group has the makings of a cult.

The self-proclaimed Queen of Canada is expanding her reach and emptying the pockets of her cult followers. Recently they even tried to arrest an entire police precinct. Our guest Mack Lamoureux from Vice has been covering her for years and joins us to explain the latest developments.

Even though the Canadian trucker protesters have been cleared from Ottawa's border bridge and commerce lanes with the U.S. reopened this past weekend, Canada is still struggling to contain the demonstrators—and as Fever Dreams guest and Vice writer Mack Lamoureux notes, more insidious, and even armed, groups are emerging within the greater protest. What's more, Canada's trucker blockade is spawning copycats far and wide. Elsewhere on the pod, co-hosts Asawin Suebsaeng and Kelly Weill, and very special guest host David Roth, talk about how Super Bowl 2022 was just one gigantic ad for crypto, and how Ohio Senate primary candidate Josh Mandel—the one whose alleged sex life Trump likes to gossip about—“looks like he just hatched out of something.” The hosts also unpack how QAnon-loving Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has become a prime kingmaker in GOP political endorsements, and follow several disturbing developments in the story of the violent Denver manosphere shooter Lyndon McLeod.

For months, a B.C.-based QAnon conspiracy influencer named Romana Didulo has been amassing followers online, declaring herself the “Queen of Canada.” In the summer, her audience began distributing cease-and-desist letters across North America on her behalf, demanding a stop to COVID-19 restrictions. Recently, her rhetoric escalated when she urged her followers to “shoot to kill” anyone who administers vaccines to children. The RCMP have visited her since, and one of her followers in Laval, Que., was arrested after allegedly posting threats about his daughter's school. Today on Front Burner, Vice World News reporter Mack Lamoureux discusses this influential QAnon figure, her active base of followers and law enforcement's response.

Meet Romana Didulo, who has convinced a portion of QAnon followers that she's the secret queen of Canada and has already executed Elizabeth II. We invited Vice journalist Mack Lamoureux to chat about Didulo's surprising rise among new far-right grifters. ↓↓↓↓ SUBSCRIBE FOR $5 A MONTH SO YOU DON'T MISS THE SECOND WEEKLY EPISODE ↓↓↓↓ https://www.patreon.com/QAnonAnonymous Follow Mack Lamoureux: https://twitter.com/MackLamoureux QAA Merch / Join the Discord Community / Find the Lost Episodes / Etc: https://qanonanonymous.com Episode music by Doom Chakra Tapes (http://doomchakratapes.bandcamp.com), Lake Radio (https://lakeradio.bandcamp.com), & Nick Sena (http://nicksenamusic.com)

On episode 12 of Overthink, Ellie and David sit down with philosopher Brian Keeley to discuss conspiracy theories. The three examine both the appeal of conspiracy theories and the dire need for public trust in institutions to combat such beliefs. Following last week's far-right attack on the Capitol, Ellie and David consider the particularly American nature of conspiracy theories that has existed since the nation's founding.  Finally, they discuss the way conspiracy theories root within families and communities and pull people apart.  Works Discussed Brian Keeley, "Of Conspiracy Theories"Anne Applebaum, "Trump and His Heirs Dream of Endless Victory"Jared Millson, "Conspiracy Theories"Stephan Lewandowsky and John Cook, "The Conspiracy Theory Handbook"Charles Pigden, "Before Conspiracy Theories and the Conventional Wisdom"Mack Lamoureux, “People Tell Us How QAnon Destroyed Their Relationships” J.

In the second and final episode in a series for CYBER on neo-Nazi terror group the Base, we dive into its origins: The online brainchild of its leader Rinaldo Nazzaro, an ex-Pentagon contractor with alleged links to the Kremlin (which he denies) who began his project for “race war” as a WordPress site that evolved into a secretive, encrypted chat group, then into paramilitary training in the fall of 2018. But shortly after, VICE News broke the first story on the group and authorities began circling.Once that viral feature published, some members of the Base fled the group, while others regrouped online and in-real-life, more committed to creating a homegrown, American insurgency against the government than ever. Over the course of the winter and spring of 2019, the Base recovered, gaining momentum and new recruits from across the U.S. and abroad. Threatening propaganda images emerge of members in the middle of Central Park in New York City, other members in Georgia call for attacks on the electric grid and a Canadian soldier (and terror suspect) is illegally on the lam in the U.S. with the help of the Base. But after a series of failed terror plots is disrupted by the FBI (and the bold actions of an undercover who infiltrates the group) the Base is torn apart in a series of stunning nationwide raids in January 2020. The final installment, titled “Train. Fight. Organize.,” is a discussion between reporters Ben Makuch and Mack Lamoureux, who have investigated the group for over two years, and features never-before heard phone calls obtained by VICE News from a confidential source, between the Base and its cell leaders discussing new recruits and how to use the war in Ukraine as a potential terror pipeline.

cw: conspiracy/Epsteingate stuff.  It's just Chris and Andrew this week, you will listen and like it anyway. Canadian bourgeois electoralism had an eventful week and we talk about it. In the back half we talk about a Cape Breton PPC candidate who is a full on QANON conspiracy theorist and try to parse any kind of deep meaning from it.  Plus a much aligned and misunderstood Dog Island character makes his long overdue return.  Read: A QAnon YouTuber Is Running for Office in Canada by Mack Lamoureux

Mack Lamoureux from Vice News interviewed the rocket man. 

With Vice News' Mack Lamoureux. 

Conspiracies! They're out there... and Vice Canada's Mack Lamoureux is getting to the bottom of them. You name it, he's covered it: The Berenst(a)ein Bears. Hollow Earth Theory. Iraq Stargate... But what happens when these twisted narratives stop being just kooky, and start getting scary? As extremist right-wing groups grow their presence in Canada, and around the world, there's a personal cost to covering conspiracists. Mack's 8-month-long investigation into Canada's armed, anti-Islamic "patriot" group — 'the III%ers'— is alarming: "Connected to the anti-Islam sentiment is a sense of paranoia in the group, one that is reinforced by the sharing of debunked news stories and far-right wing commentary from sites like Rebel Media or Infowars. The members of the group, like their counterparts worldwide, are distrustful of mainstream news and often stray into extreme conspiratorial territory." Mack Lamoureux joins guest host Omar Mouallem.  For more on extremist right-wing groups in Canada, check out COMMONS' deep dive from this past July. — This episode of CANADALAND is brought to you by PayTM.
