Canada is far from a dictatorship. Hell, I consider my own nation to be more dictatorial than Canada because Canada does not have the IRS, NSA and other Fascist-style surveillance and overreach coming out of the rotten corruption of DC.
Two of my strongest subjects in school were History and Geography which runs contrary to most kids in school these days. I will admit, however, math was not my strong suite. You throw letters and numbers into one and I'll freak out (ala Algebra). It seems to me the education system is more interested in indoctrinating the youth to be good little communists, worshiping Che Guevara and Karl Marx and shoving the progressive thought down everyone's throats than teaching proper curriculum of science, law, literature, math, health and history.
