I am in canada. I was reading up on being talked to by the police and I learned that they can only ask your name and address. but what if you are underage, and they ask for your parents phone numbers and names? are you required to tell them that? what exactly does "address" include, is that just the house number and street number or can they ask you for your phone number as well.

I would like to know in detail because I just had a "talk" with some police because of a complaint they received about some people smoking pot in my area. they asked me some questions and stupidly I answered (nothing really incriminating, but I wish I had knew my rights beforehand). they asked for the contact number and name of the operator of the youth club I was at. I think that is total BS but I didn't argue at the time.
