Health Authority issues order to vacate ‘unfit’ building occupied by ‘Queen of Canada’ and followers"},"content":{"rendered":"

Days after self-proclaimed “Queen of Canada” Romana Didulo\u00a0and several of her followers were arrested by the RCMP during a raid at a former school in Richmond,\u00a0the Saskatchewan Health Authority has deemed the building unfit for habitation.<\/p>\n

The health authority said it posted an\u00a0order to vacate Friday, after it found the building in the southwestern Saskatchewan village\u00a0was not connected to a municipal sewage system.<\/p>\n

A social media post on Friday<\/a> included photos of what appeared to be the health authority’s order posted on fencing around the building.<\/p>\n

In an email to CBC on Friday, the Saskatchewan Health Authority confirmed the vacate order, saying it had “gathered sufficient evidence regarding health concerns and compliance issues\u00a0\u2026\u00a0to determine there is a risk to public health safety,” and that the building was deemed “unfit for human occupation.”<\/p>\n

As a result, the health authority issued an\u00a0eviction order for\u00a0anyone still occupying the building, the email said.<\/p>\n

Any violators face\u00a0fines under the Public Health Act\u00a0of up to $75,000 for a first offence and $100 for each day the offence continues, the health authority said.<\/p>\n

The order is only in effect for the former school, and not the trailers on site, and\u00a0will remain in place until any “deficiencies” identified have been corrected to the satisfaction of a public health officer, it said.<\/p>\n

Saskatchewan RCMP raided the former school in Richmound, about 365 kilometres west of Regina, on Wednesday. They arrested\u00a016 adults, including\u00a0Didulo,\u00a0after\u00a0receiving\u00a0a report in August that one of its occupants had a firearm.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The building had been used for the past two years by\u00a0Didulo\u00a0and her cult, which one expert says<\/a> began as part of the larger QAnon movement \u2014 which believes there is a secret cabal running the government \u2014 and\u00a0evolved into a sovereign citizen movement.<\/p>\n

RCMP\u00a0say\u00a0they seized 13\u00a0imitation semi-automatic handguns, ammunition\u00a0and a large number of electronic devices during this week’s raid.<\/p>\n

All 16 people arrested were initially released without charges, but police quickly re-arrested Didulo and Ricky Manz, who owns the former school.<\/p>\n

Didulo and Manz have both been charged with failure to comply with an undertaking\u00a0and intimidation of a justice participant.<\/p>\n

RCMP\u00a0said at least three other people are expected to be charged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Days after self-proclaimed “Queen of Canada” Romana Didulo\u00a0and several of her followers were arrested by the RCMP during…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":125080,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-125079","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125079","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=125079"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125079\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/125080"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125079"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125079"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125079"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
