'Canada Disappears' World Map

Daily Mail:Reddit User TeaDranks. Notice how small Canada actually is compared to for example, Europe and the United States; this at least significantly philosophically justifies a) My worldwide search for work in my limited academic field. b) My worldwide search for social media contacts. c) My worldwide search for anything else possibly related. d) So, yes, Canadians this is largely why Americans and Europeans ignore Canada...Iceland and Australia face a similar fate to Canada with the map.

'India grows, Canada disappears, and the United States and United Kingdom look exactly the same:

World map shows country size based on population and not land mass

A new cartogram created by Reddit user TeaDranks shows each country's size scaled to its population Countries with large populations like China and India dominate the map

Smaller populations which have big geographic areas like Australia, Canada and Russia appear small

Other nations like Fiji, Iceland, Macau and Malta are barely visible'

'The United States and United Kingdom look almost exactly the same on this map as they do a typical world map'

Rocky Mountain High? I have never been to Colorado, but lately most of the time when the State is mentioned in the media it has to do with the topic of 'pot'. Not that I can talk, living here in British Columbia...
Iceland-Barely visible on the mentioned map.
