Is it coincidence that "Queen" begins with Q?

Having Canada as a neighbor is lovely, but I had no idea this was going on up there! To be fair to me, we are neighbors with Ontario, so news from rural Saskatchewan rarely gets over here.

Anyhoo, this may be one of the nuttiest things I've read in a while. Nutbags come in all forms, don't they?

I don't know what Telegram is but wouldn't it be a good idea to kick her off?

I can imagine this kingdom ending like Jonestown or Heaven's Gate.

Telegram is a social media app where anyone says anything, owned by Saudis.

Sounds as though she hasn't gotten nearly as much love as our dearly departed sovereign Norton I, by the grace of God, Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico. He was held in universal acclaim by the fine citizens of San Fransisco. He departed this life for a better one in 1880.

The Age of Fever Dreams is upon us. Where is our Jerome van Aken (Hieronymus Bosch) to paint us a pictorial representation of our time?

"They who do this damaging work mindlessly… deserve the one way ticket, just as if anyone working on building the project for benefit of population adding some damaging ingredients to result in breaking down or destruction… " What in the blue-eyed hell is this gibberish supposed to mean?

Over and over, in the quoted remarks from the pretend Queen and her dupes, there seems to be an insistence on the word "mindlessness", which actually provides an adequate summation of this phenomenon. And then there is the attempt to invoke a definition of treason dating back to 1352, " ‘When a Man doth compass or imagine the Death of our Lord the King, or of our Lady his Queen or of their eldest Son and Heir’". After Louis XVI was sent to the guillotine, "imaging the death of the king" became, once again, a serious crime and rigorously pursued by the authorities in the UK, silly as it sounds.

You DO realize that yo gave away a brilliant idea for free...I can TOTALLY see that as a 'thing'....just wish I was the artist able to pull it off...

JFC, it 'paints' itself doesn't it?

Well if anyone ever asks me what my favorite milkshake is, I"m calling the mounties. I'm calling Sgt. Preston. He'll know exactly what to do. I suppose that bus is full of weapons. I suppose the Mounties could enter it at any time and disarm them. I suppose they know all about everyone on that bus. In a way it's like a miniature of what's happening here, only they aren't all on a bus-- they're just all over the place with their big weapons. I suppose Trump would be happy calling himself the King of the United States and having his own bus.

None of the sheep seem to be native speakers of English. Not a bad thing in itself, but maybe a demographic note.

The level of commitment in the face of facts is similar to the devotion of some Ilokanos to Marcos.

One thing has always struck me when reading about crazies throughout history: presumably the broken circuits are the same for everybody, but the expressions of the brokenness are culturally directed. (Up to the purely psychotic; those seem to be the same everywhere.)

Thanks, and thanks for the new word "Ilokanos." Never seen it before.

She's got the meanest little face I ever saw. And newpapers and people ought to stop calling her the queen etc. Call her the Scrounger or the Hopeless or the "Fin de Race."

Meanwhile, Saskatchewan seems to be on top of things, invasion-wise.

Queen Romana? Come on journalists......her real name just screams "ROMAN DILDO".......work a little bit......I'm sure someone can come up with something better.

And good on the people of Saskatchewan.......fuck trash like this......

Saskatchewan turned them down flat.

So does "Queen" Romana have some sort of provenance that ties her Filipino heritage to that of any person that has ever lived in Canada over the last ~400 years?

Of course she doesn't. She's clearly mentally ill and has convinced some people that what she's saying is what they want to hear.

Having looked at the Wiki on Queen whatever, this article just skims the crazy.

Expand full comment

Possibly cause one of her supporters wrote it. Wikipedia is done by regular people writing Wikis and they only intervene if something is clearly false and/or libelous. It may be that with all the scads of other entries they get someone may have just not looked closely at it yet.

Hey! My home province on this here Wonkette! Exciting!

I was pleasantly surprised when Kamsack residents rallied round to boot her butt outta town. Rural SK, you just never know. This was the most delightful surprise I had in a while, maybe even since that anti gay preacher whacknutter showed up here in The Queen City to preach and got drowned out by people with a boombox holding an impromptu disco party.

I’ve been following them a while and it’s just sad. People are losing houses for no reason and she’s driven one follower into bankruptcy. That was the initial lender of the first RV.

Incomprehensible also, too.

Isn't it time for the Governor General of Canada to get personally involved??? Cuz, it sounds like "Queen Romana" is a true usurper to the Thrones of Canada and Great Britain. (The Canadian Throne is currently located in the Canadian Senate chamber in Ottawa) That would be great if the RCMP could go arrest her for treason. Then, the Governor General herself (as the representative of the King of Canada, Charles the Third), would take this "Queen" personally to London, present this usurper to King Charles, who would send her to the Tower of London (for an hour, for symbolic reasons) before being transferred to a real British prison, where she would sever her life sentence for treason to both the countries of Canada and the United Kingdom.

They seem radicalised... Happily, they should be very easy to infiltrate.

I still don't quite understand why the Canadian government doesn't just arrest this nutball and deport her ass back to the Philippines or Mar-a-Lago.
