Very little. They played some historical role in keeping modern day Canada British until the late 1800's but when it comes to the writings of the Fathers of Confederation the role of the aboriginals were minor. Later they would play a larger role and today hold a very special place in Confederation.

No. They play a role but Canada tends to measure itself against the USA more than any other group.

The aboriginal peoples, the French and the British are considered the founding peoples because they were the first to establish permanent settlements.

How did the fur trade shape the Canadian identity?

no. ------ No, there is no "Canadian" identity. Canada is a Confederation of many Nations and cultures, each with their own identity. The fur trade has played a large role in many of those Nations and Cultures but each has it's own interpretation. For example if your culture was trapping and trading the furs you would have one view. On the other hand if your ancestors were taking the furs to Europe for resale you would have a different view on how the fur trade shaped your identity. If your ancestors bought furs from others and traded to yet others who then sold the furs on the open market you would have yet another view on how the fur trade shaped your identity. If your forefathers never traded in furs and only used the routes created by fur traders you would have yet another view of the fur trade. The fur trade help create Canada but Canada is a Confederation of many nations, each with it's own history.


Why might the role of the senate to represent minorities be important to governance in Canada?

Right now Canada's federal system does not represent minorities, or regions outside of Ontario and Quebec very well. Ontario has a history of "Rep by Pop" which is basically a claim that minorities or rather their concerns, should be subservient to the majority. Which would be OK except Canada is a Confederation with many regions, cultures, histories and members, all of them with less people than Ontario and Quebec. The Senate could be used to give equal power to all members of Confederation and make the Confederation more sustainable. Of course that would require those currently winning from Confederation to give up their special status and power, and why would they do that?

What is the purpose of the provinces in Canada?

Provinces have many purposes. Their creation was to protect the people who formed them from a dominating Confederation.
