On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Canada sits at about 60°N and is stretched to 4.1× its true area; Equatorial Guinea at 2° N is stretched to 1.0×. That difference is why Canada looks so much bigger than it is next to Equatorial Guinea. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
