@paintoolkit.bsky.social and I had a short Instagram live today where we talked about this yearβs Pain Supported Self-Management Week and the online conference.
Great work is being done by @paintoolkit.bsky.social of the Pain Toolkit.
Todayβs A Path Forward blog is about Sir William Osler, a visionary Canadian physician from the mid 19th to the early 20th century. His healthcare philosophies embodied person-centred care.

Black-and-white historical photograph showing a massive, billowing mushroom cloud rising high above a calm body of water. The cloud is dark and turbulent at the base, gradually lightening toward the top, with a thick stem connecting it to the surface. A small ship is visible in the foreground on the water, dwarfed by the enormous cloud, providing scale. The horizon is flat with distant land or trees faintly visible.
On Dec. 6, 1917 at 8:45 a.m., the Imo and Mont-Blanc (which was packed with explosives) collided in Halifax Harbour.
At 9:05 a.m., the Mont-Blanc exploded. The 2.9 kiloton blast levelled most of Halifax, killed 1,700 and injured 9,000.
This is the story.

December 6th in Canada is The National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. On this day in 1989, 14 women were murdered in an anti-feminist attack; another 10 women and 4 men were injured. It is known as the Γcole Polytechnique massacre.
We can never forget what happened.
