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.

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