I think the federal government needs to fund and promote a civic education campaign. Every paper/tv ads/social media to educate people on our division of powers and how bills, etc work. This should be a top priority of the heritage minister. #cdnpoli #civiceducation #canada - ThreadSky

Good idea

Yeah we could develop the curriculum and have many ways for young students and y adults learn about democratic principles, representation, importance of critical thought and understanding how propaganda works. Summer camps with areas representing provinces or municipalities etc. hold elections.

That’s also a provincial responsibility.

Back in my day, we had a Civics class that taught all that in grade 10.

For sure, better education would ensure people know that education is exclusively a provincial power under Article 2 of the Constitution. Perhaps we should stop cutting slack to Premiers all the time. Stop them from playing the blame the Feds game.

Judging by some of the posts I see on social media posts, many people "think" they know how the Canadian system works, but most often they mistake US norms for ours. They are very different systems.

And how debt works for countries, where the money comes from. I'm so tired of hearing Canada just prints more money to cover it's debts. If it did a $1 would be worth $.01 by now.
