At a glance, Canada looks vast and evenly spread but when you divide the country by population, the picture changes dramatically...

@infobeautiful Many decades ago (circa 1970) the Queen's Printer created an isodemographic map of Canada using ball bearings and flexible steel splines. The result was gorgeous and informative.

@infobeautiful Nice graphic, it does seem to be similar for many countries... Russia for example.wonder what it looks like for Greenland?

@infobeautiful @carusb Poor visualization for red-green colorblind people. The third and fourth colors look pretty much identical and it’s very difficult to see the boundary between the two on the map.

Now if they had only chosen a different projection than mercator that wouldn't have amplified the apparent largeness of the parts of Canada close to the pole making this map still very wrong.
