Abstract
If the Media industry is often seen as information and entertainment generators, it is especially the basis of our Western democracies. Indeed, the Media industry is certainly the most efficient and at least the most use mean to inform the people about politics. Media is then empowering Canadians as it is the provider of information through the democratic process of voting and participatory politics. Canada is defined as a parliamentary monarchy, and is also a prime ministerial system. Actually, the Prime Minister is viewed as almighty whenever he enjoys a majority government. Indeed, the parliament does not really keep its role of representative of the people as the Prime Ministerial party follows, according to the responsible government principle meanwhile opposition parties are weakened in their criticisms. However, this information is not always reliable as the Media remains an industry. The example of Brockville shows the extent to which the Media can change and modify the content. At that time, they used a 6 month old video on people in Brockville burning a Quebec for reasons having no common link with the issue on whether Quebec should be declared a "distinct society".
