Why the map you grew up with disagrees
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; Tunisia at 34° N is stretched to 1.46×. That difference is why Canada looks so much bigger than it is next to Tunisia. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
