Stuff like this and the "base" he has created give off pretty harsh trump vibes. Here is a link confirming for those wanting one. Sorry I did not include it originally. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.712106

Yeah, it's not offensive, but technically "First Nations" is a subgroup; Inuit and Métis being the other two.

How can the Métis be "first" anything? They're the product of intermarriage between native Canadians and European traders (mostly the French).

Yes, that's why First Nations refers to the folks directly decended from Native Canadians (culturally anyway), and not the Métis/Inuit.

Ad. Yes, the Inuit are Native Canadian but they prefer Inuit, and they're very culturally distinct. (Not that the array of first nations cultures aren't)

Ah. I'd misunderstood what you meant. I thought you were including the Métis among the First Nations. My bad.
