Diane Therrien, the mayor of Peterborough, Ontario, Canada lashed out at QAnon adherents who tried to conduct citizens arrests of police officers in the city before being arrested themselves.
The QAnon followers acted at the behest of Romana Didulo—the self-proclaimed "QAnon Queen of Canada"—who acquired a substantial following by claiming she is the rightful leader of a country at the mercy of a pedophilic global elite.
At least two QAnon adherents are facing charges of assaulting police and resisting arrest and mischief following the stunt, which drew the ire of Therrien, who said on Twitter she hates "giving airtime/spotlight to these imbeciles."
But Therrien went further, declaring,
"Here is my comment: f*ck off, you f*ckwads."@DianeNTherrien/Twitter
Therrien later issued another tweet requesting those offended by her profanity call her cell phone number and talk to her directly rather than berate her staff.
\u201cTo the peeps who are mad about my tweet: don\u2019t call City Hall and be rude to staff. You\u2019re mad at me, not them.  Call my cell and talk to me directly. 705-872-7905.\u201d

Many came to Therrien's defense and criticized QAnon and anyone who believes the conspiracy theories associated with it.

QAnon—whose believers allege the world is run by a Satan-worshipping, baby-eating global pedophile ring that conspired against former Republican President Donald Trump during his time in office—has been making waves across the Canadian border.
QAnon gained further notoriety in Canada earlier this year after, at least in part, inspiring the "Freedom Convoy"— a protest allegedly led by Canadian truckers who pushed back against COVID-19 public health measures.
The convoy—comprised of a minority of the country's truckers—retaliated after the United States and Canada agreed to COVID-19 vaccine requirements for truckers to re-enter the country by land. The protest was heavily scrutinized after organizers and groups were linked with White nationalist contingents, QAnon and other far-right groups in the United States.
In February, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau evoked the country's Emergencies Act for the first time since its passing in 1988, kicking off a large-scale operation that ultimately cleared the majority of protesters and dismantled much of the movement.

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez issued a powerful rebuke against President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, pointing out why mocking things like affordable housing and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as "Democrat priorities" ultimately hurts Republicans.
Ocasio-Cortez, speaking during a CNN town hall alongside Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, accused Republicans of refusing to work to end the government shutdown, stressing that the country’s health care system could collapse if Republicans refuse to meet Democrats’ demands in negotiations.

Ohio Republican Representative Dave Taylor demanded an investigation after a swastika image was found on display in his Washington, D.C., office, and blamed it on a "targeted" "ruse." 
Politico obtained a photo from a virtual meeting showing a distorted image of the American flag—its red and white lines altered into the shape of a swastika— pinned to what appears to be a cubicle wall behind Angelo Elia, a staffer for Taylor. Beside it hung a pocket Constitution and a congressional calendar. Elia’s involvement in the incident, if any, remains unclear.
