Quebec police arrest man for online threats linked to self-declared ‘queen of Canada’

Dec 3, 2021 | 12:58 PM

MONTREAL — Police north of Montreal say they’ve arrested a 42-year-old man for allegedly making online threats in connection with his support for a woman who claims to be the queen of Canada.

Laval, Que., police said today they are investigating after Radio-Canada reported on Romana Didulo, a British Columbia woman who has allegedly called on her supporters to kill medical professionals vaccinating children against COVID-19.

In videos posted on YouTube, Didulo claims to be queen and commander-in-chief of Canada, a role she says she was given by the United States military after Queen Elizabeth was executed. 

Laval police say Didulo has more than 70,000 subscribers on messaging application Telegram.
