I really don't think that your description is a fair or valid one. The education system is very much fluid and changing.

Explain to me why there were 36 kids in my classes, and all we did was read the text and regurgitate? In Germany, when I was in the equivalent of grade 3, we were taught how to safely set up and light bunsen burners (in a real science lab with gas taps and equipment for every kid at every station) to blow up magnesium bombs!
Or had a full proper music class? You don't get those until grade 7 here, and usually the teacher is woefully underprepared to actually achieve anything resembling music. When I moved here I was more musically developed than our fresh out of university teacher who had never once ever even played in a professional band!
You're not going to convince me that Canadian education is anything other than at best a horrible joke, and at worst much, much worse.
