		 A couple of the universites in ontario that offer bachelors of education look for math and physics teacher application before any other degree. Therefore you get a bit of advantage if your marks/ experience is lacking. Secondly there is a"demand" for physics and math teachers. I say "demand" because even though all positions are filled there isn't very many leftover teachers applying for new teaching positions (in comparison to English). 
 
If you want to be a physics teacher then aim for being a physics teacher. If anyone discourages you than tell those people to go screw off. 
 
BTW from what research i've done you'll need minimum of upper second class marks (77%+ average) and depending on the university an x amount of experience in some form of teaching (camp counselor tutoring etc...) to apply to teacher's college

 Word is bond shrooms reveals you to yourself. I think everyone should do it once in a nature setting (forest, stream, park, etc.) when they are adults. In fact I remember reading about some society where this was commonplace (somewhere in Africa if I recall?). Once is enough though.

 I am probably wrong but, I think he's suggesting a spirit walk. You know how in some cultures before a male is considered an adult they are sent into the wilderness on a journey, often to experience some form of vision? I think that's what he was getting at. They also seem to be suggesting magic shrooms, but that's hardly good advice.

 Yes, evidence that the post wasn't cryptic enough, given the poster's standards.
