(a) personal vision onto society ” and 4) “belief in

(Ward &Voas, 2011, p. 106). Research has shown that
conspirituality is common among those in the QAnon
movement (Robertson &Amarasingam, 2022 Ward
&Voas, 2011). Much like QAnon, the conspirituality
movement is decentralized and virtual (Ward &Voas,
2011). Finally, individuals who subscribe to anti-vaxx
ideology are those who are “... wholly opposed to
vaccinations” (Burgess, Osborne, Yongabi et al., 2021,
p. 8). Those beliefs, and how they are expressed by
Didulo, are described below.
A. Didulo’s Early Background
Didulo asserts much, but provides no or little evidence.
According to her Canada 1st Party website (https://
www.canada1stpartyofcanada.ca/), her first known self-
created web presence where she attempted to establish
her own political party, Romana Didulo was born into
a privileged life, that she characterizes as the “modern
equivalent of [a] Royal family.” She is the youngest
of two children (Didulo, 2022). Her father’s name is
Romualdo and her mother’s name is Anna. ‘Romana’
is a combination of her parents’ names, a “tradition
upheld and practiced amongst true royal ancient
bloodlines when naming a child” (Didulo, 2022). As a
child, she spoke five different languages that were taught
to her by her grandmother, a grade one school teacher.
That same grandmother mounted a “strategic defense
and offense” and “successfully blocked the Chinese
from invading THEIR REGIONAL STRONGHOLD
during World War II” (Didulo, 2022 [capitalization in
original]). This claim could not possibly be true, since
during World War II Japan, not China, occupied the
Philippines (Sicat, 2015). Didulo’s father was both a
lawyer and an engineer. He died when she was 10 years
old. Her mother died a year later. Soon after the death
of her parents, Didulo moved to Vancouver, Canada
when she was 15 years old, and was cared for by her
grandparents and other relatives.
Little else is known about Didulo prior to her
emergence in the business world in approximately
2006. She was featured in an October 2006 magazine
article as the president and CEO of Global Solutions
Canada. That company is described as a private startup
human resources corporation where Didulo operated
with two other account managers. Global Solutions
Canada “specialize in recruiting and placing engineers
and geologists and providing around-the-clock human
solutions to the oil, sands, gas and mining” industries
(Global Solutions Canada, 2006, p. 4). They also
conduct background checks and assist workers from
across the world who seek professional employment
and are attempting to immigrate to Canada (Global
Solutions Canada, 2006). Didulo also was subsequently
involved in three shell real estate companies under
the name Didulo Holding Inc. These businesses are
seemingly no longer in operation. Didulo also has
two additional open businesses in London and Wales
(WION, 2022). No substantial activity with these
corporations is known. Success in the business world
seems to have eluded Didulo.
Didulo reemerged in 2020 as the founder and leader
of the “Canada 1st Party” with the tagline “draining
the swamp in Ottawa!” The Canada 1st Party is
described on its website as being a “National Political
Party” that sought to remove those currently in
power. The party’s policies are the foundation for
Didulo’s subsequent evolution as Canada’s new
“queen.” Policies include enhancing the economy,
investigating and prosecuting corrupt politicians,
healthcare officials, law enforcement agencies, and
drug dealers, removing weapons, targeting human and
child traffickers, canceling foreign aid funding, and
reducing and eliminating taxes. The end goal of the
Canada 1st Party is “dissolving all national parties ...
and to eliminate globalists and Communists.” Didulo’s
political movement did not attract much attention, and
was never formally registered.
B. Telegram: February 2021
Didulo joined the Telegram social media platform in
February 2021. Telegram is an alternative, decentralized
media platform, popular among conservative users
banned from mainstream sites (Walther &McCoy,
2021). Prior to joining Telegram, Didulo was posting
messages primarily on her Canada 1st Party website.
In her first Telegram postings, without providing
evidence, Didulo claimed to have been officially
appointed head of state and commander-in-chief of the
Republic of Canada. In her role as leader, Didulo said
she took an “Oath of allegiance to the #Flag and the
#men #women #Children of the Republic of Canada.
Not other Nations and other Nations Citizens” (see
