'We came together to take care of our own': Sask. town's residents force out 'QAnon queen'
Residents in the Kamsack area worked together to drive out supporters of a fringe QAnon group after a convoy associated with the self proclaimed “Queen of Canada” arrived on the town’s main street.

The cavalcade made up of eight vehicles showed up in Kamsack early Wednesday morning. The community’s acting administrator, Sherise Fountain, went out to investigate the visitors. “It was very alarming. It really, really was very alarming and worrisome because when they’re claiming to be taking over the town,” she told CTV News.

The motorhome at the front of the procession carried a woman claiming to be the Queen of Canada and leader of First Nations. The QAnon group promotes several fringe views and takes issue with healthcare workers who promoted vaccination campaigns during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“This is a dangerous group,” Fountain added. “What I read online, they threatened to kill healthcare workers and firefighters. Our hospital and clinic went on a lockdown.”

About 200 angry townsfolk and members of nearby First Nations confronted the group and escorted them out of town.

“Go home, wherever you came from. Get out of here,” one resident shouted while walking past the convoy.

“There was no violence,” Fountain explained. “It was just amazing to see how quickly this community and these neighbouring First Nations came together in common goal of getting this group out of town.”

Fountain said the whole sequence of events reminded her of a certain song by country music artist Jason Aldean.

“All I could think of was the song by Jason Aldean, Try That In A Small Town,” she laughed. “This is what happened, we came together to take care of our own.”

The cavalcade has since been spotted near Regina. Just outside of another small town.

I love it. Makes me want the US to annex Canada to bring sensible people into the community.


Of course I'm just kidding but still, props to the people of Kamsack.

Saskatchewan premier considers invoking notwithstanding clause over pronoun policy

24,636 views Sep 15, 2023
If necessary, the Saskatchewan government said it will consider invoking the notwithstanding clause to protect the parental consent policy that Premier Scott Moe plans to legislate this fall. However, lawyers said the ‘musings’ do not impact how they plan to proceed with current litigation.

they are more of a rival than an enemy, so far. China does give a shit about the environment and are among the leaders in going green.

And their balloons were just from a festival. Then we have a PM who alienated the far better alternative, for a trade partner, and member of the Commonwealth. An ally and Canada's largest student visa recipient, sooth move. India really shed communism and rose from the single largest recipient of foreign aid, to the burgeoning giant they are becoming rapidly. But no lets swing from Chinas' nutsack instead. Good Grief.

Any thoughts on Trudeau pissing off India? He better have his story straight, or there's going to be hell to pay.

It would appear this information was directly from CSIS, and if that is the case then JT's story is straight. If CSIS has produced incorrect intelligence then CSIS would need wholesale changes, but why would they report this to the PMO unless they were beyond absolute certain? The downsides of Canada making that accusation are extraordinary (even if it's true), with the only upside being to try and prevent foreign governments from assassinating other people inside Canada.

Eby disturbed by CSIS briefing on Nijjar killing in Surrey

B.C. Premier David Eby says he needs more information from the federal government so the province can better protect people at risk.

Their balloons are a stupid idea that they discontinued apparently.

As for India, their government can't commit murder on Canadian soil and students studying here are no threat and them cutting their visas would be very unpopular too. India was never communist and leaned no more left than the UK did decades ago. Right now, they have a Hindu nationalist government that tends towards fascism and picking on minorities. I understand there is video evidence too. Would you be ok with the Chinese government knocking off Canadian citizens in Canada? Maybe one might not like your views on something and after repeated warnings the come and do you in?

The Saudis pulled out years ago when called on human rights, we had a lot of their students where I live, useless as tits on a bull, never seen them. They were quickly replaced by poor Asia kids interested in becoming citizens and filling many jobs around here and helping with a serve labor shortage. The new immigrants are needed but are not helping with the housing shortage. The government needs to get back into the low-cost housing market IMO and shake things up, give incentives to the private sector too, but that would be SOCIALISM and somehow inherently sinful? Helping to address the wealth imbalance that is the root of many of our social issues, the economy is owned and works for a very small spectrum of people who are disconnected from ordinary people and no longer live in and lead or contribute to their communities.

I thought the first thing that happens in an espionage situation like this was a call from your PM to their PM first before we let the outraged masses become aware. It is surprising to some that separatist factions (gov'ts, independence movements et al) are not treated with the same acceptance that strong, free, democracies allow.

They tried that and got nowhere, the family and community want answers and accountability, they murdered a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil, like Putin did in the UK-to-UK citizens. The government has an obligation to protect its citizens FFS and demand justice in their name. Of course, these people would be tried in a Canadian court by a Jury, I have no problem with that, they murdered people here and should be extradited and tried here. The government of India would not like the defense of "following orders" though. We sure as shit don't tolerate our government officials bumping off foreign citizens in their own country.

Openly accusing a gov't of murder, inviting an enemy of their state to a Canadian delegation dinner, acting a fool on your first visit. Hopefully India will offer up the dufus who got caught on video (apparently), for justice in Canada. Hopefully India cares about their international reputation and their relationship with Canadian citizenry. We have a large population of Indian Canadians, I'm not sure of the ratio of Sikhs in Canada. The Indian Gov't vs Independant Punjab has been violent for some time now. I don't think the PM of India is in a negotiating mode with JT at the moment, we'll see how fearless leader does here, as the ball is in our court.

Someone is spinning your news, or you are spinning it in your own mind, your biases are showing methinks. As I said, if the Chinese were doing it would you feel the same way? Think Trudeau never had the advice of intelligence agencies, diplomats and foreign affairs? He also has a cabinet, and such things are not done lightly. We are also a member of the 5 eyes and have vast intelligence resources available from allies, we monitor and decrypt their diplomatic traffic as well as phone communications and internet and are very good at it, as are the brits and Americans.

Murder of Sikh Leader in Canada Highlights Modi’s Embrace of Authoritarianism in India & Abroad

220,231 views Sep 20, 2023 Latest Shows
We speak to Arjun Sethi, a Sikh community activist, civil rights lawyer and professor at Georgetown Law, about Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s public accusations that the Indian government arranged the assassination of a prominent Sikh leader and Canadian citizen outside a Sikh temple in British Columbia in June. India has denied the allegations. Hardeep Singh Nijjar was a prominent leader in the Khalistan movement, a Sikh separatist movement that advocates for the formation of an independent Sikh homeland in the northwest Indian state of Punjab. He had been designated a terrorist by India’s Hindu nationalist government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has long been accused of targeting Sikh leaders at home and abroad. Sethi says that India’s extension of minority group persecution to foreign soil shows the world “just how emboldened the Modi administration is.”

I have read Indian news over the years a little and it is an odd country. Even with the years of British rule they act like a banana republic at times.

The Brits wanted out of India since before WW2 but there were differences between Muslims and Hindus eventually leading to the partition of India into Pakistan and eventually Bangladesh too, still there are around 300 million Muslims living in India. 200 years before the Brits and other Europeans came to India in the 17 hundreds, the Muslim Mogul empire invaded and ruled the north of India, Hindus never forgot that. Buddhism is making a revival after a millennium of extinction in its homeland is now popular among the Dalits (untouchables).
