Direct flights to California would be a huge win for Ottawa. Folks who work on inward investment, especially in tech, have been championing it for years. Hope it takes flight! 🛫

[Ottawa Business Journal @obj_news]

Porter Airlines plans to add direct flights from Ottawa to Florida’s Gulf Coast, California, the Caribbean and other destinations over the next two years to cement the capital’s status as a major hub for the carrier.

@EdwardEvansUK Indeed. Although, my one regret is we never turned the back car park into a giant beach volleyball court to celebrate our OSSC championship.

[Trevor Kerr @MediaKerr]

From staff BBQs to quiz nights in the Q&A, lots of great memories beyond the rewarding daily work from over a decade at 80 Elgin. Like any home, it’s the people & memories that make it a special place. It served its purpose well. Here’s to more GREAT memories at the new BHC!

[UK in Canada 🇬🇧🇨🇦 @UKinCanada]

After almost 60 years, the British High Commission says goodbye to our historic home on 80 Elgin Street!

Our office has served us under 14 UK Prime Ministers, 19 High Commissioners, and stood tall through a long period of 🇬🇧 history.

Take a trip down memory lane with us 👇📽️

It seems that so many wonderful people are leaving this world, and now Jimmy Buffett is one of them. I’ve known Jimmy for some time and found him to be one of the kindest and most generous people. 

I remember once on holiday when I had forgotten to bring my guitar and was itching to play. He said he would get me one of his, but I said, ‘I’m left-handed’. So, Jimmy had his roadie restring one of his guitars which he loaned me for the duration of the holiday. He then followed this act of generosity by giving me my own beautiful left-handed guitar that had been made by one of his guitar-making pals. It’s a beautiful instrument, and every time I play it now it’ll remind me of what a great man Jimmy was. 

He had a most amazing lust for life and a beautiful sense of humour. When we swapped tales about the past his were so exotic and lush and involved sailing trips and surfing and so many exciting stories that it was hard for me to keep up with him. 

Right up to the last minute his eyes still twinkled with a humour that said, ‘I love this world and I’m going to enjoy every minute of it’. 

So many of us will miss Jimmy and his tremendous personality. His love for us all, and for mankind as a whole. 

Last, but not least, is his songwriting and vocal ability. If someone made an interesting remark he repeated it in his gorgeous Louisiana drawl and said, ‘That’s a good idea for a song’. Most times it didn’t take too long for that song to appear. I was very happy to have played on one of his latest songs called ‘My Gummy Just Kicked In’. We had a real fun session and he played me some of his new songs. One, in particular, I loved was the song, ‘Bubbles Up’. And I told him that not only was the song great but the vocal was probably the best I’ve heard him sing ever. He turned a diving phrase that is used to train people underwater into a metaphor for life when you’re confused and don’t know where you are just follow the bubbles - they’ll take you up to the surface and straighten you out right away. 

So long, Jim. You are a very special man and friend and it was a great privilege to get to know you and love you. Bubbles up, my friend. 

Love, Paul

If you’ve never gone beyond Margaritaville or Cheeseburger in Paradise, take a moment to listen to these songs below.

JB was an amazing songwriter who covered a wide range of subjects & moods with his music over 50 years.

His serious side gave us some of his best songs.

12 years ago. Had a pretty good view for that Royal Visit. 📸

[Trevor Kerr @MediaKerr]

It was great to be able to join my colleagues for this celebration.

Key takeaways: you don’t get to 50 years without listening to your clients, embracing innovation, and investing in a great team.
