I think as Canadians this topic is covered because the geography of our country is skewed considerably more than many other countries both due to the scale, and the land mass the lay near the poles. If I recall correctly it was the discussion on the size of Baffin Island, which looks almost 2x larger than Madagascar on the Mercantile map, when Madagascar is in fact just over 10% larger than Baffin. Also, that we have islands nobody gives a 2nd thought to that are the size of Spain! :)
