The Q media panel reconvenes to reflect on the surprising results of this week's provincial election in Quebec, which saw an unexpected landslide majority for the Liberals, and the worst showing for the Parti Québécois since 1970. They also discuss the media's ongoing focus on the still-missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.

Judy Rebick of rabble.ca, Jonathan Kay of the National Post and John Cruickshank of the Toronto Star weigh in.
