This week's q media panel — Jen Gerson, Yves Boisvert and Niigaan Sinclair  — convenes to discuss the most significant news events of the week, and how effectively they were covered by mainstream media.

This week: 

  • The results of Truth and Reconciliation Commission were released this week, and confirmed the shocking scale of abuse and neglect at Canada's residential schools. What has the media treatment been like?
  • The death and legacy of "Monsieur" Jacques Parizeau, the man who nearly led Quebec to sovereignty in 1995.
  • Actor Jay Baruchel on his move from Montreal to Toronto, and why, in his words, "Quebec's politics did my head in."
