^^ Agree 100%. The only people who get confused and/or think it's a conspiracy are uneducated people. 50% of the population? It shouldn't always be a race to the bottom to explain things that they should have learned in grade school.

Based on that gif, you could fit it all inside Hudson's Bay. If you do so Canada and the Lower 48 look the same size but then you have to add Alaska. It looks slightly off to me.

Will bother some to see that in truth we are only a smidge larger than China by KM^2.


Surely all Canadians know that already? Grade 6 geography teaches kids that Canada is 2nd largest to Russia but it also teaches kids that Canada, China, and the US are pretty much all the same size. It's not like the sq km isn't shown to everyone.
