    We also have a lack of critical thinkers in Canada.

    A section of my wife’s friends (ex friends?) Are Trump supporters.

    A branch of her family live and breathe Facebook nonsense without questioning validity.

    A coworker sends me conspiracy theory videos, even though he works as a highly skilled engineer. Being smart and critical dissemination of information are different thought processes apparently.

      Don’t confuse intelligence with knowledge. He blindly believed everything they taught him in engineering as well.
