    Is there intentional gutting of education in Canada? I think the reason as to why Americans are more susceptible to propaganda is because their education system is being undermined, whereas Canadians are more smarter because of better and free education.

      The other responder isn’t correct, but I’d say there is definitely a push for all the problems in American education. The former Minister of Education in Manitoba went to Tennessee for ideas on funding higher education. I’ve also heard of pushes for chartered schools and being able to transfer school taxes to the institution of your choice. All of these ideas promote a disparity in education which generally favors the wealthier.

      We are smarter in that more of us have gone to postsecondary and we all have access to a great free elementary and highschool experience. Relatively the same quality same all over the country……no matter where you live. But the US creep of stupidity and ignorance seeps up here too.
