David Akin breaks down the numbers behind the largest class-action settlement in Canadian history and the reaction from advocates.
Meanwhile, as hospitals become more strained by soaring COVID-19 cases, two Greater Toronto Area (GTA) hospitals are now declaring a "Code Orange," as illnesses among health workers spark critical staff shortages.

Plus, years after captivating doctors and investors with a revolutionary blood-testing technology that actually never worked, Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes has been found guilty on four counts of fraud. Jackson Proskow explains how Holmes went from being the world's youngest self-made woman billionaire, to facing decades in prison.
And a look at how a dangerous storm turned a Virginia highway into a parking lot for hundreds of drivers, stranding them overnight.
