Do tired and overworked doctors on marathon shifts make more mistakes? It's a nightmare that many people don't think about: How your doctor's schedule may be harming your health. Sleepless shifts of up to 30 hours are routine for many of Canada's 12,000 resident doctors. And that's unacceptable and dangerous, according to a panel of medical experts. But Canada has no national standard for the hours residents work. David Common and two doctors stay awake and put themselves to the test in a 26-hour sleep lab experiment, to test how sleep deprivation can affect even the best doctors.

A new breed of criminal is combining the high tech skills of a hacker with the brazen nerve of an old-fashioned car thief. We go on the hunt for the mysterious device police believe those thieves are using to steal your car.

It's elementary: Teachers play an invaluable role in our lives and in our kids' lives. But how good is the system at protecting you, if there's a problem in the classroom? In a months-long investigation, we find out how serious complaints about teacher conduct are handled across Canada, and reveal that in most provinces, teacher discipline is so rare, slow and secretive that often teachers who have been disciplined continue to teach while parents remain in the dark.
We expose how the lack of transparency and efficiency in parts of Canada could put students at risk, and find out which provinces get a failing grade.
