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.

Part of the reason is ...

No way.

Did you mean to write that part? I agree with everything else, except this part, that you never return to or substantiate in any way. 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.
