So only people in cities are part of the majority society?
Majority society includes reserves. That’s part of majority society. I’m not sure what you think Canadian society is, but that’s part of it. I’m not sure what arbitrary cut off you have for “majority society” and “other” aside from “aboriginal” but I don’t really see the point in making the distinction. There are plenty of groups of people that get benefits not afforded to all people in the same way.
Though there is something uniquely Canadian about a self-described new European immigrant lecturing aboriginal Canadians on how to be Canadian.
