This is very interesting. I knew Canada had far more lakes in it relative to the US, but I never would have guessed it was to the degree that would make the US the bigger country by land area. Why so many people are upset by a fun fact I will never understand

Because not having lakes makes the land mass far less valuable and useful thus many Americans are angry by that fact.

Well that's just a moronic take that's just trying to be divisive for no good reason. Objectively, canada has far less useful and valuable land than the US does. There's a reason the majority of the population lives right on the border. Having more lakes isn't inherently good or bad as long as it doesn't tend too far towards either extreme and this says absolutely nothing about the countries listed other than their land area

You were just asking why people were upset. Sorry if that upset you.

Ya sure buddy. The 100,000 lakes in Ontario make it sooooo valuable.

Not sure why you guys are so angry. Could be the lack of lakes?
