Making Music Part Of Our National Identity

It seems our Canadian identity centres around hockey. From watching Hockey Night in Canada every week to teaching our kids to skate as soon as they can walk, many aspects of our lives revolve around Canada’s national winter sport. What would the world look like if music lessons were in as high demand as playing hockey in Canada? What if people lined up to register for music lessons, or were willing to pay incredibly high prices for symphony tickets (even if the symphony didn't play that well)? What kind of future would we be building?  What could be we doing now to start?
