It’s Your Call With John Mielke

12-01-2023 • 38 mins

Languages, math, science, geography, history... What are the most basic things you feel every student should be taught before they graduate high school?

Could your kids:
- Name the Governor General?

- Name the PM?

- Name your province’s Premier?

- How many of the Great Lakes could they name?

- Where is Hudson Bay?

- In which province or provinces would you find the Rocky Mountains?

- Could they name all of the oceans that Canada touches?

- Do they know Canada has had a female prime minister?  Could they name her?

- Do they know the zipper was invented here?  The caulking gun, the paint roller?   The Robertson screwdriver?  Basketball?  The telephone?

- Do they know what signal hill is?
