Summary

In a prior episode we learned how the self-declared Queen of Canada Romana Didulo (and her unconventional pseudo-government) had occupied an abandoned schoolhouse in Richmound, Saskatchewan. It may be difficult to believe, but this situation has only become more bizarre and complicated since then. In this episode, we are again joined by Tom who produces the guerilla news site Community TV for a discussion surrounding the more significant events that have played out since the Richmound protests.

0:00.0	Hello, listeners. Jordan here. I just want to let you know that you can listen to nighttime early and ad-free on Amazon music, include it with Prime.
0:12.8	You are listening to the Nighttime Podcast.
0:24.5	Music You are listening to the Nighttime Podcast. Hello listeners, and welcome back to Nighttime.
0:27.8	In tonight's episode, we're going to catch back up with what may be one of the fastest moving stories I've ever tried to follow.
0:34.4	Just last month, the self-declared Queen of Canada, Romana Digilo, and her
0:38.9	stranger-than-fiction traveling pseudo-government took up residence in an abandoned schoolhouse in
0:44.7	Richmount, Saskatchewan that is owned by one of her more devoted followers. In a recent nighttime
0:50.2	episode, we were joined by guerrilla journalist Tom Fugier to discuss the fake
0:55.4	queen's siege of Richmond and the residents attempts to honk their horns loud enough to get rid of her.
1:01.7	Well, let me just say the horn honking didn't do the trick. The QAnon crew is holding their
1:07.4	bizarre position and the whole situation has only gotten more unusual by the
1:11.7	minute. And tonight, in this episode, I've invited Tom back to help us unpack some of the
1:17.3	story's more significant developments since the last time we spoke. So let's get into it.
1:26.9	Thomas Fugier, Tom, Mr. Community TV, or I guess one half of Community TV, this has been a wild few weeks.
1:35.3	I had you on, I think about two or three weeks ago, when Queen Romana and her band of misfits rolled into Richmount, Saskatchewan. We had a lot to talk about then.
1:45.6	Now, two or three weeks later, oh my goodness, it has only gotten weirder and weirder and more
1:51.3	crazy. How have you been dealing with it? Because you've been in the middle of this the whole
1:55.2	time. Yeah, how have I been dealing with it? It's been a very, very busy couple of weeks. You know, because not only is this stuff interesting to lots of people, it's also just become very important to lots of people. So there's a lot of different aspects as to why a journalist who's close physically to this story, should be covering it and talking about it.
2:18.4	But also, I just, I'm kind of like you, Jordan.
2:21.1	I love that weird shit.
2:22.9	Oh, and it is.
2:23.8	Weird.
