and Bathurst Street shortly after 6 p.m.

CBC News has learned a pediatrician at SickKids accused
of uploading child sexual abuse material
remained licensed for months before being suspended.
The investigation into the doctor began in January,
but as Ithel Moussa tells us,
his license to practice wasn't suspended until the summer.
It began with a tip to police.
Drivers will have another chance
to take advantage of a dip in gas prices.
It's set for a big drop tomorrow,
Dan McTagg from Canadians for Affordable Energy says gas
is set to drop by 9 cents a litre tomorrow to $1.59.9.
Diesel will dip 14 cents to an average of $2.34.9.
McTagg says if drivers wait until the evening,
the price will drop even further.
This is the second dip in a week after an 11 cent drop on Wednesday.
Amazon employees in the GTA have launched
a union drive at the online retail giant.
