Why are younger Canadians more susceptible to Trump and the lure of the 51st state? (policyoptions.irpp.org)

Part of the reason is the failure of our school systems to teach the history of Canadian resistance to U.S. threats, incursions and trade sanctions.

And it seems obvious that a lack of education would make people more vulnerable to all the things you said. So it seems obvious that indeed, education IS "a part of the reason".

For sure, but a lack of education in US/Canada relations is not the problem.

A lack of education on how to defend against manipulation, advertisements, and "influencers" is the bigger issue.
