Recognizing Pseudo-Legal Claims: What Romana Didulo is Doing and Why It’s Dangerous

Romana Didulo has claimed to be the “Queen of Canada” and issues documents and instructions that her followers treat as law. These are pseudo-legal claims — they look official but have no legal standing. Being aware of these is important to protect yourself and your community.

Pseudo-Legal Action	Example of What She Does	Why It’s Dangerous / Illegal	What to Be Alert To
“Royal Decrees”	Claims she can cancel taxes, debts, or government orders; followers try to present “decrees” at banks or courts.	These documents have no legal authority. Attempting to use them can lead to arrest or fines.	Look for documents claiming someone has the power of a monarch to override law or debts.
Citizen Arrests	Tells followers they can arrest police or government officials who “disobey the Queen.”	Illegal in Canada. Confronting officials can escalate to violence or criminal charges.	Be cautious if someone claims the right to detain or confront officials outside legal channels.
Fake Warrants / Legal Claims	Followers create documents claiming authority to seize property or ignore fines.	These are invalid. Using them can result in legal consequences and dangerous confrontations.	Watch for any paperwork claiming legal power without government validation or official seals.
Ignoring Laws and Public Rules	Tells followers to ignore traffic tickets, health mandates, or government regulations.	Leads to legal trouble, endangers public health, and encourages defiance of lawful authority.	Be wary if someone encourages you or others to refuse lawful requirements citing a “higher authority.”
Cult-Like Group Behavior	Followers travel in caravans, occupy buildings, or act collectively on her orders.	Can create public safety hazards and escalate into confrontations with authorities.	Be alert to groups forming around a single leader who claims absolute authority.
