I remember this Serendipity, going inside the Centennial Train looking at the historic educational exhibits, the Centennial fake coin as a memento, and the Centennial song with the guy on TV in commercials, who played some sort of Pied Piper role by leading chanting children singing in unison, 'CAAANADAA, one, two, three, happy Canadians. We love thee....' I was taught this song during that year. I genuinely felt patriotic at that time.
I was also taught in school, the pacifist song, during the Vietnam War era: "How many times must..." Written by aboriginal (native Indian) singer, Buffy Saint-Marie, later popularized by Bob Dylan.
