None of those sources are discussing functional illiteracy. You literally just demonstrated that you're functionally illiterate.
Canadian numbers:

All three reference a CBC report stating that the functional illiteracy rate in Canada is somewhere between 35-40%.
American numbers:

All three reference a report by the US department of education which puts the US illiteracy rate at 10-14%, or 32 million people.
So no, what I originally said is true. Canada has a functional illiteracy rate that is actually over 2x that of the US.
