Was the average Canadian educated in it even then? As far as I can recall, the Charter was barely touched on in any required material during my mandatory schooling. We spent more time on stuff like the internal timeline of the Seven Years' War than we did on any kind of civics.

Granted, that was back in the 20th century. I really hope that the subject matter covered in mandatory education has been rebalanced since then, but I'm not holding my breath for the result having been any better.

If it was covered back then, I don't remember. It's been literally a generation since I was in school. So what little I did learn has certainly been lost by now.
