It's complicated but I don't think it was any single event really, more a combination of factors. Canada's culture is basically non existent as all our pop culture comes from the US, yet most Canadians despise America. Canada has a very agreeable culture compared to the US, no free speech etc. I think the massive country and spread out population plays a bit of a role, most Canadians have no idea how bad it is for the country as a whole. There's no right wing news here, Canadians have an inverted view of the state where they serve the government. And lots of other stuff which made Canada extra vulnerable to this BS
