Mr. Darrel D

Former broadcaster (30yrs) now an Alberta certified pest control technician. Still a small cog in the big wheel of life, but lovin’ my life.

I love #music. I can’t sing & I can’t play (yet!!). But what fascinates me the most is #writing! The ability to put real world problems/feelings/encouragement into 3 or 4 minutes is truly a gift!! Thank you #songwriters.

Canadians will pay more to travel.

The UK privatised airports and now it cost $10 to enter the airport with your car to drop someone at the airport!

If you take longer than 10 minutes it costs more. @hollyanndoan @MarkJCarney

Canada is being betrayed. Alberta is the rock that will shatter this.

If Carney wants Canada to join the EU, put it to a damn referendum! This isn't something that should be done in darkness while parliament is on holiday.

It's also something that must be put directly to the people of Canada. Carney has no right to do it himself!

Just listened to @Zachtopmusic #DirtTurnsToGold “It'll take some blood, sweat, and tears
More than a few hardworking years. I know it's hard to see that far down the road. Oh, but dirt turns to gold.”

That one hit hard! #GreatSongWriting

WILL MARK CARNEY EVER ASK CANADIANS WHAT THEY WANT? 🇨🇦

During a trade war, he disappears on summer vacation (Italy)

He speaks to us through his personal YouTube channel.

He signs a 100-year partnership with Ukraine and starts discussing some form of associate membership with the EU.

These are massive decisions.

Yet Canadians are expected to just watch from the sidelines.

At what point does the public get a say in the future of its own country?

[🇨🇦 Antonio Tweets @AntonioTweets2]

🇨🇦 CANADA DOESN’T BELONG TO MARK CARNEY

Canada is not a corporation.

It’s not an asset on a balance sheet. It’s not Brussels’ property. And it doesn’t belong to politicians, bankers, multinational corporations or international bureaucrats.

It belongs to Canadians.

If Mark Carney wants deeper agreements with Europe—defence, procurement, critical minerals, technology, cybersecurity—then put the commitments in front of Canadians.

Tell us what Canada gains.
Tell us what Canada pays.
Tell us what obligations we’re accepting.

No political doublespeak. No hiding behind bureaucratic language.

And when our Prime Minister travels abroad making decisions that could shape this country’s future, Canadians have every right to question him.

That’s not extremism.

That’s democracy.

But here’s where I think Canadians have gone wrong: we’ve become spectators in our own country.

We complain online. We pick a political team. We vote every few years. Then we hand the keys back to Ottawa and hope for the best.

That needs to change.

Pay attention. Demand answers. Contact your MPs. Protest peacefully. Organize. Challenge bad policy regardless of which party introduces it. Support Canadians who are willing to stand up and speak.

A strong country requires strong citizens.

Canada doesn’t belong to Mark Carney.

It doesn’t belong to the Liberals or Conservatives either.

It belongs to us. 🇨🇦

And maybe it’s time we started acting like it.

God First. Common Sense Revolution.

@paul_dunphy My daughter and I had that same conversation recently. It’s very distracting now to try and adjust the temp, radio and any other controls inside a vehicle.

[Mr. Darrel D @MrDarrelD]

Bringing @Mikkelson12 back was a no-brainer. Happy to see this…

[QR Calgary @QRcalgary]

Reunited and it feels so good!

Our @NHLFlames broadcast team is complete!

Welcome Meaghan Mikkelson, our new Colour Commentator!

Meaghan joins Derek Wills on play-by-play and Pat Steinberg on @FlamesNow770 and pre/post-game coverage.

The gang’s back together! ❤️‍🔥

Let me get this straight -- Mark Carney, a guy who was heli dropped into Canadian politics from the UK

who fired an Indian guy and stole his riding

who then got elected with a minority government but stole a majority through floor crossing

is entering into a 100 year agreement with Ukraine, and a "new partnership" with the EU

all without parliament in session?

[Kim Dobranski @KimDobranski]

Two days ago, Mark Carney told everybody that Canadians are going to have to suffer. It's going to be hard, and some will suffer more than others. We need to brace ourselves.

All because of Donald Trump.

Today, he announced a $785 million commitment for Ukraine, for a whopping total of $25.5 billion in aid since 2022.

Just imagine what we could have done in this country with $25.5 billion.

How anybody can support this guy is just beyond me.

He is using Donald Trump to blind Canadians into believing that he's the demon, when, in fact, the real demon has the levers of power in Ottawa.

[Mr. Darrel D @MrDarrelD]

All the time!

Yup 😊😆

Very blessed to have a wonderful career in radio for 30 years. I met so many great people, and had many great experience along the way.

🇺🇸 LUTNICK JUST DROPPED A BOMBSHELL.

He says he asked Canada’s trade team directly:

“Are you trying to kill the deal?”

Their answer?

“We’re not allowed to say.”

Then Lutnick went even further:

“The Liberals are selling their citizens down the river.”

If that account is accurate, this wasn’t just a failed negotiation.

It raises a much uglier question:

Did Canada walk away on purpose?

[Mr. Darrel D @MrDarrelD]

@Landonforward14 Thanks @Landonforward14 So glad to have you on our side, and why I voted for you!!

This one took a little longer, but problem solved. No more wasps. Client got bitten 3 times in one day!

[Mr. Darrel D @MrDarrelD]

As an Ab Pest tech…this might be my favourite part of the job. #wasps

[Mr. Darrel D @MrDarrelD]

What’s most fascinating is their communication…you have just a couple of sentry’s at the hive opening. But, once you start trying to eliminate them: they come fast and furious! #pestcontrol #AIWontBeTakingMyJob
