Today we have more class action content for the blog! Today we bring you Cloud v Canada, a Residential School Class Action which provided significant insight into the "predominance" element of the certification motion. Before Karly takes you through the decision, Zach and Karly chat class actions more broadly, certification motions, and how the law on class actions in the province of Ontario has undergone a recent shift on this issue. 

CW: The class action concerns an Indian Residential School and contains some discussion of abuse suffered by students. Please take care when listening.
