1. I don't put a lot of time towards covering Romana Didulo, the self-proclaimed queen of Canada and now the world (she promoted her self and has been assigning viceroys in other countries). Still, sometimes she warrants some attention as a result of escalating behavior.
2. Didulo has in the past frequently urged her followers to send cease and desist orders to schools, hospitals, post offices, etc ordering them to end mask mandates. She has also suggested those who don't comply will be executed.
4. As recently as this past November Didulo was ramping up her rhetoric. Her followers were also increasingly excited about the ensuing retribution faced by their Queen's enemies.
5. A visit from the police however resulted in a significant decline in the violent rhetoric which strongly suggests, contrary to the belief that she is mentally unwell, that Didulo knows what she is doing and knew enough to tone it down,
6. During the #OttawaOccupation she decided to take a royal tour of her realm. She and a select group of followers rented a camper van and set out for Ottawa in February. It has now been 6 months and she is still on the road.
7. Romana Didulo is still causing harm. She has encouraged her followers to stop paying bills and mortgages claiming she has forgiven all debts. Those who have done as she has demanded have faced the inevitable price.
9. So that leads us up to today where Romana seems to have escalated her rhetoric once again and is ordering her followers to arrest members of the Peterborough Police. Why she chose this city is an open question right now.
10. Her followers commenting were excited and eager to participate. I have highlighted some of the more interesting comments.
11. A more detailed pronouncement followed. She wants followers to livestream the arrests which are to take place August 13.
12. However originally there had been an error as the pronouncement was for August 13, 2023. Although it was corrected I found it interesting to see how quickly people said that it wasn't a mistake because their queen doesn't make mistakes.
13. Her followers also jump at the opportunity to be among those given the honour of making arrests.
14. However, some also wonder if they shouldn't also broaden their list of people to be arrested. One who appears to be an American suggests adding lawyers, pharmacists, teachers, the FBI, Democrats, and "RINO"'s
15. And despite the suggestion that this is all to take place peacefully, comments about buying guns and learning how to use them suggest otherwise.
16. And there is no question about the penalty for violating Romana Didulo's edicts.
17. She created another site for those who wish to sign up.
18. And her followers thank her for doing the heavy lifting to make their lives better.
I mean, they aren't better now. In fact those who have followed demands to the letter are really suffering as a result. However good times are around the corner... I guess?
19. I should also mention that Didulo herself is currently touring the Atlantic provinces and there is no indication that she herself will be present during these attempted arrests.
I mean, the queen can't be placed in any danger I guess. That's why you have cannon fodder.

1. By now I'm guessing that most of my Twitter followers are aware of the most recent threats against Trudeau and the subsequent of a suspect. I think there is an even more important story though related to the poisonous influence of social media
2. Dawid Zalewski was arrested for making death threats against the Prime Minister. The following video was posted to his second Facebook profile. Be warned that it may be triggering as it promotes graphic violence against the PM and others.
3. Zalewski is clearly not well, but I think would be wrong to dismissively call him "crazy" move on without further examination. There is a reason why he got to this point and I believe we can learn a great deal from his social media footprint.
1. I’ve been enjoying my summer break and have not been paying a lick of attention to the Olympics. Until today however since Twitter has collectively lost the plot.
2. Earlier boxer Imane Khelif defeated her Italian opponent in the first round when Angela Carini quit after 45 seconds stating that she had never been hit so hard.
To be fair, I don’t enjoy being punched in the face either so I can at least sympathize with Carini.
3. Now a preliminary fight would never be important enough to make international news under normal circumstances however we are, as the saying goes, living in interesting times.
1. Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson) was arrested in Calgary on an immigration warrant apparently. He may have since been released, though he has to turn in his passport and remain in southern Alberta.
I'd prefer that he be kicked out immediately.
2. Despite claiming to have been a "political prisoner" many of Yaxley-Lennon's criminal convictions his Islamophobic "activism" and a number of convictions since have had nothing to do with his political views.
3. In 2005, he was convicted assaulting a police officer who intervened during an argument Yaxley-Lennon was having with his then girlfriend.
1/ It's been a while since I've done a thread here, but the recent focus on Pat King got me to wondering what was up with his own Salacious Crumb, Tyson "Freedom George" Billings.
2/ Last time I looked at Billings he was a part of the efforts to set up a permenant camp outside Ottawa so there could be daily protests, though the original plan involved surrounding the police and arresting politicians.
Suffice to say it didn't go anywhere.
3/ Billings and Ron Clark soon headed home, but they both soon got involved in other protests including the anti-carbon tax protests occurring in the province. The numbers at these events have been small but that hasn't stopped from politicians from courting the fringes it seems.
1/ Though I'm not especially active these days, I'm still sometimes gobsmacked by some of the ridiculous (though sadly effective) rage farming by some on the right. Harrison Faulkner of "True North" is just a recent example of that.
2/ So a bit of background. Musical artist Karan Aujla won the 2024 TikTok Juno Fan Choice Award at the award ceremony this past weekend.
I think it was this weekend. Truth be told I don't pay a lot of attention to awards shows.
3/ It should be noted that Aujla has been in Canada for years emigrating as an orphan. He graduated from high school in Canada. The album was produced by a Canadian on a Canadian label.
