RCMP say 17 people, including self-proclaimed ``Queen of Canada'' Romana Didulo, have been arrested in southwestern Saskatchewan. Followers of Didulo, who has promoted various conspiracy theories, set up a ``Kingdom of Canada'' compound in an old school in Richmound, west of Regina, in 2023.
Insp. Ashley St. Germaine says a warrant was executed Wednesday morning at the property and four replica handguns were found.
She says police continue to collect evidence and conduct interviews, but that so far, no charges have been laid. Mounties charged the owner of the property earlier this year with assaulting two officers.
The community has complained that the group has been disruptive, and in July, the village office closed its doors to the public outside prearranged appointments, citing harassment and intimidation towards staff.
