The most beautiful of films - go watch (or re-watch) it #LocalHero

Local Hero (1983) is one of those films that sneaks up on you. A corporate deal turns into a meditation on place, time, and the things you don’t realize you’re losing. Soft-spoken, deeply funny, and quietly profound.

Capping off 2026 #BurnsNight festivities by celebrating #ScottishConnections with parliamentarians at the annual Robbie Burns Dinner on the Hill! Thank you @HoCSpeaker for hosting the event, honouring Scotland and Canada’s longstanding links and friendship.

We were so sad to hear Kirsty had passed away. It was a thrill to be in Kirsty’s company and witness her passion for Canada-Scotland connections. Canada has lost a daughter and Scotland the most special of Canadian friends. Fois shìorraidh dha anam/Eternal peace upon their soul.

@IvisonJ En route from Toronto to Ottawa for back-to-back Burns Suppers 🥃. Obviously quiet otherwise, an uninteresting time in the world 😳

@devinevox I sing it to my kids every night! Hope you’re well, John.

For those who celebrate - to the immortal memory of Robert Burns. youtu.be/n16xqJGVYMY

In our home, we have a tradition called Whisky on the Bar Day, where each year we add a celebratory bottle to the shelf. Historically, that's been bourbon. This year, it won't be bourbon. Which scotch or Canadian rye should make it on the bar?

The hills are alive... with 60 years of The Sound of Music! 🩵🎶 On this day in 1965, The Sound of Music first premiered on the big screen. Join us in celebrating this monumental milestone by sharing your favorite moments, lyrics and memories of watching this iconic film in the comments below – or share a few of YOUR favorite things (and photos) using #TSOM60!

🔴 The Sound of Music turns 60: There doesn't feel like a better time to enjoy this masterpiece "Revisiting this film time and time again, I appreciated more it’s very essence. The hope and defiance that weaves through it like a tapestry." trib.al/op3P40M

We live free here in #Estonia 🇪🇪 thanks to brave men and women who stood up to tyranny and declared all peoples have the right to self-determination. That’s why on Estonian Independence Day, as every day, we #StandWithUkraine. Got a moment? Let us tell you a story. 🧵

I’m a Scottish independent DIY musician on tour in Canada. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇦 Can you help me get the word out about my shows? I’m trying my hardest sell as many of them out as possible. If you like Scottish folk music, or know friends who might like my music. Please SHARE!

Worth watching

@johnauldwebster The GOAT 🐐 well done brother 👏

@lewis_goodall For a morning walk/run in Stanley Park, worth navigating past the Robert Burns statue - it has an excellent aspect

Excellent from @MarkUrban01 - these tenets could just as easily be applied to diplomatic practice.

@johnauldwebster Up in Skye and Harris for a week, then back to Canadaland. Looking forward to catching up in October 👍
