Pierre Trudeau as a "Flawed", Toppled Leader, Cancel Culture and Canadians' (Lack of) Knowledge of Canadian History

How much do Canadians know about Canadian history or the true history and contributions of those being selectively criticized under the guise of "colonialism"?  Would the recent generation or two approve of Pierree Trudeau being toppled for his mistakes? 

"...Kenney blames much of this on “historical illiteracy” in Canada. “Jack Granatstein (in his book Who Killed Canadian History) pointed out 20 years ago it was then possible to graduate, I think, from eight of 10 Canadian provinces without ever having taken a class in Canadian history.

“This is the betrayal of two generations, because how can people be informed citizens in a democracy if they don’t have a passing knowledge of how we came to be, of the development of our institutions?”
