How did Canada's increased population affect the lifestyle of the first nations?
The Indian Act said that First Nations people could not practice their culture, nor could they speak their language. Also it said that the First Nations did not have right to the land they lived on because they did not have it written down that it was theirs. They did not have the same rights as other Canadians, ex. they could not vote. They were not allowed to drink on the reserves, a Native women had to marry a Native man, but a Native man could marry a non-Native women. The famous Potlach was banned from being performed by all Natives. As a result most First Nations people (mostly children) lost all or most of their native culture during the time of the Indian Act.

What percentage of Canadians live in the Great Lakes?
Humorous Answer:
Exactly zero, unless Canadians have developed gills without our knowing it. If they have, then we must hire more border guards to watch over the shorelines of these lakes. Our borders are already under assault, and to have thousands of "Creature From The Black Lagoon" like animals crossing our borders is scary!
Canada has the Senate and the House of Commons, which is the Legislative branch of goverment; while the US has the Senate and the House of Represenatives. They are basiclly the same thing. They are just called different. The Judiual branch is the same for both countries.
The Executive branch has the Queen, the General Governor, the Prime Minister, and the Cabinet. The US has the President, the Cabinet, and the Vice President.
AnswerProbably the most important difference between the Canadian and American governments is that Canada follows a parliamentary system while the US follows a presidential one. This means that, in Canada, the executive branch is responsible to the legislature, while in the US, the executive branch is independent of the legislature. In Canada, if the legislature disagrees with what the executive is doing, then, potentially after trying to regain support in the legislature through a general election, the executive has to step down. Because of this, the executive branch is chosen based on the composition of the legislature after a general election. In the US, the President is elected separately, and he and his Cabinet serve their terms until the next presidential election.

What do first nations metis and inuit people of Canada have in common?
Canadians are not equal, some are "Canadian Plus". They have all the rights of Canadians PLUS extra rights due to archaic race treaties.
But most Canadians do not agree with these race laws and benefits.
That is where the term "First Nations" come from. Other terms have been used including Native and Indian. The problem with these terms is the obvious connection to race. The term "First Nation" has been adopted by those covered by race based treaties to avoid reminding people of the racial superiority claims.
We know that those calling themselves First Nation were not "First Nations" just the surviving nations. The First Nations in Canada are lost to history many thousands of years ago but not in the case of the Inuit.
The Inuit cannot claim "First Nation" we know the Dorset culture has the best claim to First Nation in the north but they were "displaced" by the Thule and then the Inuit.
The Metis have a questionable First Nation claim because the treaties are race based and Metis have as little as one sixteenth of the needed blood. Today many Metis are Metis by culture, unable to prove their racial purity.
First Nations people can prove their racial purity and have been numbered by the Canadian government. They alone can lay unquestionable claim to the rights given in the ancient race based treaties.
Those rights and that special status is the common connection. Each have their own claims, some better than others but all of them want a piece of that special status and a piece of the multi-billion dollar industry that surrounds it.
