  "account": "RICHMOUND - The mayor of a southwestern Saskatchewan village that spent two years plagued by the Kingdom of Canada cult is stepping down. Brad Miller's resignation will take effect on October 14, with details about a byelection to be announced once a date is set. The village gained attention in 2023 when the cult, led by Romana Didulo, known as the \"Queen of Canada,\" established a compound in a former school and began harassing residents. The school's sewer and water access were severed, leading to the closure of the facility due to unsanitary conditions, such as visible sewage bubbling on the grounds. Miller had expressed his hope that Didulo and her followers would leave Saskatchewan.",
