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.

    Young people are dumb and easily impressionable.

    Most of us look back at our 20 year old selves with varying degrees of embarrassment.

    That being said, 20 year old me was dumb, but not dumb enough to be a Trump supporter. I knew better. Who knows what would have happened to my brain if I grew up on social media though.

      To be fair to modern young people… we had the luxury of not being inundated with Jordan Peterson and Tate bullshit when we were at our most impressionable.

      I’ve seen extremely strong and wise young people - and I’ve seen fucking idiots. I think the proportion of idiots is higher than it was for, say, millennials… but it’s still a mixed bag and we’ve got young people rabid about environmentalism and women’s rights. Maybe in a few more years that toxic bro faction will start growing out of it and become reasonable people - I certainly hope so.
