Recently, the group moved into Richmound, a village of around 150 people in south-western Saskatchewan, and settled in at a former school.
Ms Didulo and around 15 to 25 of her followers have been at the site for about a week, says Thomas Fougere of Community TV, a local independent news outlet based in nearby Medicine Hat.
Soon after their arrival, the neighbours began pushing them to leave.
Around 100 local residents drove around the school on Sunday in tractors, semi-trucks and other vehicles, trying to drive out the incomers, according to Mr Fougere.
“It’s the only place in the village where there’s a playground and where kids can safely ride their bikes away from the highway,” he said. “It’s become a high tension situation. The town doesn’t want them.”
Let’s get back to a time when we recognized and sidelined irrational voices in public discourses. Instead, we’re giving these charlatans room to spread nonsense, allowing others to wrongly validate it.
Her irrational voice equals guaranteed advertising clicks for media outlets. We decided long ago that money should be the principle motivation (above truth, evidence and facts) for media outlets in this country. This is one of the many damaging consequences of that idea.
How do we even get the horses back in the barn before we close the door?
How do you do that in the age of the internet? How do you stop them from spreading their insanity on platforms like X, Instagram, Facebook, etc? If they aren’t violating guidelines, how do you sideline them?
