Why did this take so long?
Hopefully whatever they’ve arrested her for is ironclad and she’s gone for good.

They actually did seize several replica firearms... the warrant was accurate as far as I can tell. The cult leader has a whole Wikipedia article talking about their history with the police. They tried to pull off a citizens arrest on police officers over "COVID crimes". That's insane behavior.

Replicas aren't toys. They are often a barrel or tigger group assembly away from being a proper firearm.

And yet they are not a firearm
I've seen people using fireworks as firearms on the streets, there's no sense in measuring distance from being a proper firearm, imo
HikingVet@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 357d
And yet they are still regulated by firearm legislation...

Good, it's long past due.
Throw her in jail and let her rot without a connection to her idiotic followers.

Our criminal code has written into it that prison exists for rehabilitation. Whether the average citizen understands, apprecistes or respects that is another story.

Neat. Ours says it’s nice-and-legal slavery.

You are deliberately choosing a calculated, malicious interpretation of a single wors in my off-the-cuff comment.
Jail in Canada exists (legally) for rehab. I have no faith whatsoever that Didulo can be rehabilitated, but as long as she is allowed access to the public, she will be a danger to them and to Canada.
So she has to be locked up, and we need to make a good-faith attempt to help her rehab.
But personally, I just want her stopped and kept away from people, because she's a danger.
HikingVet@lemmy.ca · 12 pts · 357d
Are you aware of the harm she's done?
Deceptichum@quokk.au · -34 pts · 357d
HikingVet@lemmy.ca · 24 pts · 357d
She has proven she cannot behave in a way that doesn't defraud, hurt, divide, extort, isolate and otherwise act in way that are contrary to what civil society can tolerate.
Everyone should be given a chance at rehabilitation.
She needs to be isolated from the population until she has proven she will not seek to harm people.
If she refuses to seek rehabilitation while incarcerated that's on her, and the consequences are to be incarcerated until she proves she's rehabilitated. IF she is found incompetent she needs round the clock treatment away from other impressionable patients.
This Woman has caused emense harm and kid gloves are a half measure and will only embolden other con artists to do the same.

*In July, the village office closed its doors to the public outside pre-arranged appointments, citing harassment and intimidation toward staff.
The owner of the property and one of Didulo's followers Rick Manz was charged with assault, resisting arrest and uttering threats.>*
I bet the residents of the village are relieved to see the last of her. Hopefully her cult members will start to disperse soon.
HikingVet@lemmy.ca · 11 pts · 357d
Can she be deported now?
swordgeek@lemmy.ca · 37 pts · 357d
Nope, she can't.
She's a Canadian citizen, and the only way citizenship can be revoked is if was obtained fraudulently.
She's a dangerous, deranged, evil loonatic, but she's ours to deal with.
HikingVet@lemmy.ca · 9 pts · 357d
I was under the impression she wasn't a citizen. Well, I'm sure there is a federal prison she can take up permanent residence in.
Bane_Killgrind@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 16 pts · 357d
If we got the Greyhound Bus decapitator back on their meds, stable and productive maybe she has a chance to turn around.
swordgeek@lemmy.ca · 12 pts · 357d
Fair point. Mind you, he was schizophrenic. I suspect that Didulo's only mental illnesses are greed and psychopathy.

Let her prove that from behind bars while paying restitution.

Or a mental health facility. She has some pretty serious delusions going on in her head.
SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 357d
I don't believe she has any mental health issues. She tried and failed multiple business and finally realized there was gold in them thar Facebook groups and it's been a grift ever since. She wasn't stupid enough to try and seize police in Peterborough, but her fuckwads were. It's just criminal fraud. I think she would have made a great Realtor on Duty.

Calling for people to be deported because you don't like them is not the best habit to get into.
SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca · 19 pts · 357d
She printed out fake money. She fraudulently raised money. She has threatened local officals. She told followers to "shoot to kill" people giving COVID vaccines. She led an attempt by fuckwads to seize police officers at a Peterborough station.
Jail her or get her out, and round up all her followers for mental health treatment, as they believed in invisible UFOs protecting her.
I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 356d
None of that sounds like a reason to strip someone of citizenship and make them some other country's problem. Jail yes, deportation of a citizen no. You should not be trying to emulate the barbaric practices going on in the states.
