It is a simple distinction; except calling the Nikayas collection a "canon" complicates such simplicity.

It gets worse. The "canon" also includes the "abhidhamma pitaka" and other works that are known and acknowledged to have been later controvances, many of which contradict or ignore the Buddha's teachings in favor of outright Brahnanism.

I try to be as specific as I can with all this to avoid confusion.
