Collective rights in Canada are very important to most Canadians but not for the reasons normally promoted by Canada.

Collective rights in Canada are used to keep and expand our racial apartheid system that gives Aboriginals special rights, status and access to Canadian resources based on race.

Collective Rights are also used to give specials status and support for Canadian colonial language and culture most notably French. In most areas of Canada French is a minority language and culture In many places less than 5% of the population is French and not in the top three minority cultures.

Collective rights are used to give this one culture special status, and government support. Many top government jobs are only available to people from this culture and their language can be seen and is required by law throughout the land, even where there are no French to read the signs or labels.

As a result many other groups in Canada seek to use collective rights to give their group special status and access to Canadian resources. This further reduces the rights of other groups and individuals.

It is becoming more important than ever to choose your Canadian family wisely as it decides your role in our system and your access to jobs and resources.

Collective rights are important in Canada because they are being used to ignore many human rights that should be available to all Canadians and to support racial and cultural discrimination.

Most Canadians believe that each Canadian should have the same rights, the same opportunity the same access to resources and collective rights are ensuring that never occurs.

The Métis People are one of the officially recognized Aboriginal peoples in Canada who trace their beginnings to First Nations (see below) and European heritage. Mothers in these family groups were of First Nations heritage- fathers were often French, English or Scottish. Currently, a person must meet three requirements to be legally classified as a Métis: self identification, ancestral connection to an historic community, acceptance by an historic community. In order to be recognized a person must have a Métis card.

The First Nations are the various Aboriginal peoples in Canada who at one time would be referred to as Native North Americans. They come from the various native tribal groups and have cultures that span thousands of years.

To address historic injustices, exploitations and to mitigate economic differences the Canadian government has taken a proactive role providing a "leg up" to four special groups of citizens: women, people with disabilities, Aboriginal peoples, and visible minorities. Employers are required to remove barriers to employment historically experienced by members of those groups.

Collective rights are important to all Canadians because the founders of Canada can be venerated more. Because of the benefits, they will feel like they are included (they are).

It shows that we care about other cultures enough to give them certain benefits.

How has Francophone collective rights shaped Canadians?

Francophones have the right to go to school in French and speak their language in a minority. It's pretty much the same thing as the Anglophone rights, except Anglophones in Quebec have the right to have all signs printed in french and english (I do believe that small and independant businesses don't need to do this, only provincial signs or something like that).

How does the social contract solve the problem of reconciling the rights of the individual with the rights of the collective?

It is a contract that disregards the rights of the individual in favor of the "will" of the collective. The rights of the collective? Honor the rights of all individuals and the rights of the collective are undeniably protected. Claim the collective has rights that are superior to individual rights and the collective becomes a pool of human fodder for those clever enough to plunder. The will of the people? The people have spoken? I am speaking now, when you speak you will be speaking then and if you speak in these WA pages you are participating in a collective but are you speaking for the collective? Certainly, as many will attest, I don't speak for the collective. I speak for those who find themselves with headings such as ANOTHER VIEW or A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE and were I to foolishly enter into agreement with any social contract, my VIEW and PERSPECTIVE would be subject to the "will" of the collective. I am fortunate to be treated as an individual with certain rights as an individual in this WA site, and I am fortunate there is Dispute Resolution Center and a Community Advisory Team set in place to help me when I find myself being subjected to the "will" of the collective.I relish being an individual, I am proud and honored to be a part of this collective known as WikiAnswers.com, but I will always be an individual first and foremost and so will you.
