2. Two-year mark: It's been two years since the federal Liberals swept to power, and CTVNews.ca has compiled a midterm report card for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his ministers.
3. Singer rediscovered: A new album is shining a light on Jackie Shane, a transgender singer who grew to prominence in 1960s Toronto, and her impact on the music industry.
4. Grandparenthood: A new study is highlighting the historically high number of grandparents in Canada, and how seniors living longer lives is having an impact on the make-up of the modern family.

And one more thing... "Breathe" doesn’t have the gravitas of "The Theory of Everything" -- it spends too much time trying to wring all the emotion out of the story like tears from a sponge -- but it does have compassion and heart, says film critic Richard Crouse.
