I definitely agree its awkward having 2 legal/political systems in Canada. IMO everyone should be a Canadian Citizen and subject to the same rights/laws. One option would be to 'cash them out' (FN), give them the land the Reserves sit on (cut into parcels and distibuted), and cut a gigantic, massive cheque, and then say 'you're the same now!', and treat them like regular Citizens just like everyone else.

Obviously there would be a ton of issues with that, in particular the legal aspects of just shredding some treaties...

I'd love a solution that leaves us all 'the same' legally at the end, but probably not possible. Not really a fan of 'Canadian Apartheid' (harsh? ), 2 peoples 1 country.
