You have a valid point.
However, isn't it kinda sad that you're implying that we should only know "relevant" information?
In many ways it could be argued that knowing who Sir John A. Macdonald is is incredibly relevant to use Western dwellers since it was his policies that opened up the west -- and ended up creating much of the still existent schism between the West and East.
Having a solid understanding of our Nations history and politics helps us determine our political views, especially when an Election rolls around. And that seems to be something that affects our daily lives.
