En fait, comme dans la plupart des pays industrialisés, l’état moderne – au Canada, dans les provinces – occupe une place importante dans la protection sociale de ces citoyens : l’état-providence qui littéralement protège ses citoyens, et qui aide à établir l’espace de consensus social et les droits et responsabilités des citoyens.
