Did the Crown just let the "Queen of Canada" off the hook?

SHARE

You will not BELIEVE what happened with that 'Queen of Canada' lady

Okay, so you remember that Romana Didulo woman, the self-proclaimed 'Queen of Canada,' eh? The one who was telling people to stop paying their bills and all that nonsense? Well, buckle up, because the Crown just *stayed* the charges against her. Yeah, you heard me right. Charges stayed. The mayor of Richmound, which is just a little ways west of Swift Current, he summed it up pretty good: "Evil rules over good." And honestly, you feel that sting even here in Regina, you know? It's just... wild. People out here are trying to pay their rent on Albert Street, trying to keep their kids in hockey, and this person is running around, and then poof, charges disappear.

It makes you wonder, doesn't it? What kind of message does that send, when someone can cause so much chaos, tell people to throw away their hard-earned money — money they might make working shifts at the Co-op refinery, or building something out in the Warehouse District — and then just walk away? Regina, we're honest folk. We work hard, we play hard, and we expect a bit of fairness. This whole thing just feels like it's outta left field, even for us who are used to the wind blowing in strange directions. It's the kind of thing that makes you shake your head over a pint at Bushwakker, eh?

This is Darlene Chicken-Lawson, and this is Regina — yeah, we know what it sounds like, and we've heard your joke. Now sit down and listen.

You know, the guys on the morning show dive into stuff like this every single day — catch 'em live at mornings.live.
