      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.

    stupidity is a choice people make, regardless of how well educated they are or not.
