Two Men Switched at Birth in 1955 Were Paid $250,000 Each, Manitoba's Books Show

Two men who were switched at birth at a rural Manitoba hospital in 1955 received $250,000 each, CBC reports, with the money awarded in the 2025-26 fiscal year. The figures surface in financial disclosure documents the province released this week. A hospital mix-up from the middle of the last century, and the compensation for it, ends up recorded as a line in the province's own accounting.
