a properly designd public primary education system fixes that, the US’s was specifically designed to create compliant factory workers…then they took all the factory jobs anyway.

No. it doesn’t.
stupidity is a choice people make, regardless of how well educated they are or not.

Idk, maybe we're doing alright compared to the US but we have an epidemic of stupid here too

Everywhere does, but Canada has a post secondary education rate of ~66%, and typically votes 66% sane. America has a post secondary education rate of ~50%, and typically votes 50% sane.
There are other differences between the countries, but I think it’s impossible to argue that a substantially more educated population hasn’t led to a stabler and more thoughtful political climate.
