It's still not fully accurate (our actual southernmost point is still tilted nearly enough to be the easternmost on this map), but much better than Canadian media does.
No flat map can ever “fully accurately” represent the surface of a spheroid. No matter what you do, something has to be sacrificed - relative distances, relative areas, landmass shapes, directions, or some combination thereof.
