What happens when a cult moves into a small town?

The Big Story

17-06-2024 • 21 mins

Richmound, Saskatchewan thought they'd have seen the last of the so-called "Queen of Canada" by now. It's been almost a year since Romana Didulo and her followers moved into an empty school in the tiny prairie town. And they're still here.

Nearly a year of living next door to a dozen or more conspiracy theorists who promise public executions does some strange things to a small community. When everyone knows everyone, and everybody has to pick a side, what happens? Nothing good.

GUEST: Rachel Browne, investigative journalist (Read Rachel's story in The Walrus.)
